No reason why you cannot veg with an HPS, some say it's not ideal, but as I mentioned above, of you got a Son T witha bit of dual spectrum in the bulb you should be okay. Introduce the 600 and have them both running for a time. I run my 400w MH and my 600 HPS together, but I have the HPS come on mid morning to late afternoon and have the mh run from lights on until lights off.....

I'd run the 500w of MH for veg. And the 600 for flower. If you don't mind the electric bill, and can cool everything, It would be awesome to run 1100 watts during flower.

When u first proposed the plan i was gonna say that!!!!!! ive seen some of ur older grows from b4 and ive seen the crosses and i always wanted some DST seeds i swear..that head bandxcali-o cross is sick...that d-og sounds good 2..i honestly think it would better than buying seeds and its UNIQUE thats even more impotant..ive been MIA because of the shower..i will be back 2 posting as normal in 2 days..i had a terrible 600 accident yesterday..i wasnt home and the ac didnt come on for 2 hours+i didnt water for 2 days = 2 extremely burnt plants..one of which was a YIELDER 3 and a half feet tall ATLEAST 2 and a half feet wide..and a really pretty diesel plant which was beginning(*) 2 change colors..

I know I'm a total noob, but I bought this ballast from a hydro shop and they gave me a 400w mh free with the setup of ballast and hood, so naturally I assumed it was a 400w ballast. Recently, however I checked the side of the ballast and its 600w! Seeing as my hydrosun hps bulb was malfunctioning on me after a full flower cycle, I went back to the hydro store and they hooked me up with a Agrosun 600w for $80. I tried it out last night and its great... I think my plants are really into the extra light. Took a few shots...

Curious, are you saying a digital ballast will not try to hot start? I have such problems with losing power, I had to by a time delay from CAP. It won't try to start my lights for fifteen minutes should the power go out. I have digital ballasts but my electricity will go off and then come back on a second or two later but this could happen ten times a week. It seems we have a problem with electricity and squirrels in my neck of the woods.Hookd
Sometimes when I lose power I have to un-plug my 400mh standard ballast and let it cool for 10 or more minutes and plug it back in and it has been re-firing every time. This doesn't happen to the digital 600w.

I have the same issues with the power going off momentarily, usually during a storm.I have been in the flower room when that happens and the digital will recover almost immediately, while the traditional ballast will not hot start. It's not the bulb, but the ballast. All further ballast will be digital.

DST, all we need to do is trust one another and we can be our own seedbank. I applaud your idea. That would be a yes vote from me.
I've been looking forward to doing another sativa grow but I think that is going to have to go on the back burner until next summer. I have a hawaiian snow and a neville's haze that I've been saving and both are feminized. I also have some jock horror and some malawi 99 regular beans. I'm thinking maybe an outdoor scrog about twelve feet long and eight feet wide, put all four strains under it and hope for a male to pollinate the others. That should give us enough sativa dominant beans for everyone to have a dozen or so each.
I too must confess I've always wanted to try some of the strains you grow DST, especially the casey jones and the ny47. My mouth waters when I see that casey.

Sorry I missed this earlier Don. I heard that the UK cheese is like a highly gaurded strain. Im curious. What is in these knock off strains then of the cheese. For instance I have a GHS cheese bean. As far as ive found its a big buddah cheese just sold under ghs. Im sure there must be a wide variety of cheeses. Ohh and what is the S1 ?
