green coast hydro which is an hour away from me carries the lec cmh's both 120v and 240v

Perfection all around....

Cheers Bob, nice when everything's in tune Hope you still have some snow there, we've been in a deep freeze here, it's day skiing or nothing, nights are insanely cold

You getting tempted hyroot? Growershouse is still the cheapest I've seen, particularly when they have their 10% off all lights promo's. Still considering running a 210w in that little tent. Haven't been able to find a reasonable cost option here, Canada sucks for stuff like this, not a single supplier here for anything but the bulbs

The bulb/ballast combo that I have allows for dimming at 210w or full power at 315w.

Dimming changes the spectrum slightly, but not noticeably.

To dim, simply touch two wires together on the ballast.

they told me $520 and I said I can get it for $480 from growers house. They said they never heard of them. I said their huge so step your game up. They said they would work with me on price. I'm definitely tempted. The veg cobs come first. I have to wait a couple months. I spent my light money on the cup and at the cup

I'm kind of kicking myself because I'm realizing that I need a reflector or two for my CMH, and the sunsystem LEC reflector is hella nice and hella expensive.

I wanna use the CMH's horizontally to veg and need reflectors. Any suggestions?

Been looking around trying to do something on the cheap for the small 2x2x4' tent. They have a 145w allstart but I think I could handle the 210w Elite Agro which is what I'd really like to run bare bulb in there, if I can find the bare bulb version in 210w reasonably. Finding the components here without spending a fortune on shipping has been a challenge, shipping has been quoted from some US suppliers costing more than the components This is a little side project so I don't want to go overboard.

How about some cheap batwing style reflectors, have seen some reasonable cost one's around in past searches, may need an adapter.

Budgets suck Cup sounded like fun, wish we had them here. Not like you're short on lights though

Hmmm, this is about the most reasonable I've seen yet. not crazy about the form factor but it'll run the 210w bulbs @120v.

Polish some aluminum.

I made my first reflector out of a pie pan:

light without:



light with:



It polished to a nice mirror finish.

I had blown my whole budget on seeds, pumps, hydroton, rockwool, and a kessil light.

Cheers,

Very creative but looks and sounds like a lot of work. Laziness drives my creativity, I'd have gone to the dollar store for one of those aluminum pie plates, drilled a hole in it and called it a day

My grandmother said all engineers are lazy. They will take four hours trying to determine the most efficient way to do something that would have only taken an hour to do in the first place.

I told her that she was correct except that it would only take fifteen minutes to perform the streamlined task every time after that.

I had the pie plate and the polishing was made easy by using a drill attachment. I was surprised at how well the aluminum polished.

Now I have a cabinet covered with reflective mylar covered foam:

[GroErr]

Lol, yeah I've been known to spend more time thinking about ways to save time doing something I don't want to do

Nice, looks similar to that DuroFoam stuff I used in my veg cabinet and flower room, nice reflectivity, easy to work with and cheap as shit if it ever needs replacing.

My yellow card looks so nice and clean! It was right after I put up the new one. Now it has 20 assorted flying bugs on it!

Just popping in to give a fellow canuck some support. Keep up the great work!

Hey DonPetro, thanks and cheers! A (potentially) good day for Canadians, that Supreme Court MMAR case started today. A chance at some relief in a few weeks for fellow med growers that are stuck in limbo or paying through the nose for their meds.

Yes i am glad to see people standing up for their rights and not allowing Adolf Harper to pull the wool over their eyes.
