so i'm looking at 600watt ballasts...
here's a switchable for almost half the price of one i found that does only hps http://www.amazon.com/Virtual-Sun-VS600WMB-Magnetic-Ballast/dp/B005UGWXF4
heres the one i found that does just hps and looks of higher quality http://www.amazon.com/Sun-System-Harvest-Elite-Ballast/dp/B001IMJDPM

in your opinions, is there really any reason to get a switchable hps/mh ballast, and also, is it worth paying extra for a ballast like on the second link or maybe someone could point me in the right direction

i only want magnetic because of rf issues, unless digitals have fixed that, maybe someone could help me out to figure the range of interference on a 600w digi ... anyways thank you all!

i let them go cold...even leave the intake on blowing that cold air in....my temps range from 50*-70*F. Surprisingly enuf, i dont get much purp...but that probably has more to do with genetics than temp.

you missed it i believe... NO DONT DO THAT u risk fire. imo anyways. im pretty sure im right.

he was originally asking if its okay to use the cord and everything from a hood used for a 400 W. dont the cords need to be specific for each type/wattage ?? maybe not. i mean people use dimmable ballasts. (which i dont like so far from what im seeing., my buddy is mad he wasted $$ to switch to dimmable. plain ol lumatek digi 600 from about 2007 for me. :) works great too.)

so you guys think he can use that cord?!? id hate for dude to ruin the thing! or have fire!!

perhaps ill learn something here asking this too, :D

Hello club 600!

My first post in this section. I am often lurking though ;)

Big fan of what you guys do here. I currently have 2 tga plushberry girls in flower under my 600. One green pheno, one pink/purple pheno. I had a stud male in my cloning/male cab under an led. I just harvested his pollen and I have ALOT! I painted pollen onto a couple small buds on my pink pheno. This is not my first time pollen chucking, so i dont need any advice w that.

My veg box will be empty in a week or so (currently occupied by shitty autos that my wife had to have). I will then be popping 5 blue pits, 5 sour cherry and i am up in the air about either 2 dog fems or 2-3 Jordan of the islands purple kush (i like variety!).

Anyways, back to the pollen. I want to cross plushberry with sour cherry. What is the best way to store mu pollen? Probably need it to stay viable for 6-8 weeks. I have a container similar to a film container, j put it in there with a couple grains of rice and threw it in the fridge with my bean collection. Will that work? Or shoild i do something different?

Thanks in advance

I have heard that storing it mixed with flour is best, and freeze or fridge will work depending on time duration

Bassman... try and get me a large if you're gonna get hooked up. I want one of those shirts.

I used to let my night temps get to 55 f. It didn't seem to bother things too much.

My temps wiull go as low as 45-50 I think without heater.
I set heater to 58* night and then day they get 68* lol.
I turn on heat after a few hrs lights on and set to 71* and then turn it off and depend on light to maintain it.

Ill see if she has any and Ill get u one if she has em and is cool about it.
Mine will be 1X or 2X if they have it...prolly not too many in that size though lol.
I can imagine teenage employees being 2x lol...not

i just went and plugged in my space heater. about 2 minute ago. mine was getting down to 40 or less, F that is. so i have to waste more electricity. i try to trap in as much heat from the lamps and ballasts but dont want to prevent good air flow either. so i gotta plug in a lil space heater. sucks having to run in there and un plug it every morning. somedays i forget. not good if its not really cold out. sometimes i need it 24/7 :(
u guys r lucky if its warmer where u are :)

My wifes brother and his wife are coming into town for Xmas. Which is real nice for my wife since she has not had Xmas with any of her family in nigh on 10 plus years. Her Dad is a real Dutchie at heart, just sold their huge house in SA, gave all the kids a wedge of cash, and him and his wife won't even pay to come visit at Xmas and see their Granchild (wife is a bit pissed about it) I told her just to buy them flights but she's too much like her own old man to spend our money, lmfao (vicious circle there). So we'll wait until next Spring to see them when they had planned a trip to Italy (walking across Italy actually).
Need to do some Xmas shopping urgently.....

sounds like my wife's whole family bunch of ass holes. they would not drive 3 hours to see us unless they where trying to get in or business. they no respect for our space. last xmas we went to ATL and my mother in law came to my house and went through it she opened the safe( was empty) even pulled the box we put in the back of the closet with the ahhh adult stuff you know she got an eye full. i could go on but why. My family is pretty cool though. we only fight about me smoking weed. they will be down in feb like 12 hours to my place.

Yeah, i have heard the flour thing, but was told that tge flour is only used to "cut" the pollen so that it goes further. And from experience, i know the fridge works for a week or so, but was looking if anyone knew how to keep it for longer term.

Thanks for the input

you need to close it tight with desiccant, and use a frig that does not get used. light moister and temp fluctuations are the enemy. i think dst just puts it in a dark cupboard.
