Hehe hey gg, thanks alot! I'm hoping these clones survive so I can just keep this going!! When I get these seeds, I might tear up a little. xx


On another note, I'm leaving for the hydro store to pick up some more dutchmaster nutes, and to get some garden string so I can tie down the tops. I'll post pictures when I finish tying them down.

Any tips on the best way to tie them down would be very much appreciated! Thanks!!!

I was actually just looking at HTGsupply.com They have some good setups for cheap. lightin ones. Anyway I was looking at either a compact unit thats all in one wit ballast included 250-400watt somewhere in that wattage level. Or i was looking at those new digital ballasts n those are only 400watts n up tho. Suppose to be brighter , less noisy, less hott, etc.. So not sure either way a HPS. Either 250 or 400. Don't kno if imma get teh ballast included in a system of teh seperate style. You got any idea?

 

[toolage]

i searched around for the best deal possible. I found a guy selling one on craigslist *ebay is good too* and he was selling his Sunsystem 400w HPS only used twice for $175, I talked him down to $100. has ballast, holder, reflector, and bulb.

edit: pic of my light is one page 3

I ended up getting one with the ballast connected and all in one piece.
Its heavier to hang with an included ballast, but a straping young guy like yourself should be able to do it no worries.
It is a [mine] 600W HPS , and it isn't very noisy or hot.
I have been leaving the main vent fan (also cools light) off now and again for Co2 and it never has reached 90 yet.
more is always better so I would say 400 rather than 250
and a 400W HPS all in one, is usually cheaper than a separate ballast type.
there is also the 200W CFLs

holy shit. Ya sounds good but there are just some people you cant trust. I'd rather have it brand new n know whats happened to it. Im picky ;P

 

[toolage]

totally understandable!! the conversation i had with him didn't throw any weird signs so I personally felt safe. He was a laid back 40 year old, who obviously grew tomatos. As for what he thought seeing a young guy in his 20's buying a HPS, doesn't really matter lol.

Exactly.. See that wouldnt be too bad. But HTGsupply.com is pretty cheap. Think the whole digital ballast 400 watt hps/mh system comes wit everything u need. both bulbs etc. I think 230.

I have a MH "conversion" bulb burning now.
Do you know if a straight MH fixture with that type ballast is better or are they about the same?

I figured it'd be teh same? I'm not sure tho

conversion bulbs (it is said) are less potent than using the ballast/bulb without conversion. so a 400w MH conversion would NOT be equivalent to a 400w HPS (and vice-versa) - though i wonder if this still holds true with newer bulb technology as this info is coming from possibly dated sources.
