    UPDATE: October 8th, 2008

    Just wanted to chime you all in on how my progress is going. Today I finally got to slap it on the stand and also recieved the lighting for it. I almost had to get "Luna" to come and help me out putting it on the stand but out of nowhere, a good friend of mine said he was coming to visit and well........he didn't expect for me to make him work. Thanks for the offer anyways "Luna". Here a few pics of how she sits as of this afternoon.

    Still not done so nevermind the mess;)

    OOOOOOOO Sweet bro. Looking good. I was wondering why you never got back to me. Any reason why you went with 3 separate light fixtures when you could have just gotton one, like a single 250w MH? Luna

    Mainly because I don't have much space to be hanging lights where it is set up. I know MH's need to be adjusted heightwise and I would have problems with that where it is.

    The reason I got 3 units is because I wanted to make sure that the whole frag area is completely covered with light.

    Starting out with softies and we'll see what's in store for the future;)
