    fuck a 150 dollar hps ballast I use floodlights

    I assume they are really low wattage... HPS peaks efficiency at ~600w. I can't imagine a 25w or 50w HPS putting out many lumen/w. Most likely around the same as a CFL but in a less usable spectrum.

    fuck a 150 dollar hps ballast I use floodlights

    You're using a what? 50w self ballasted HPS? Can you take a picture? HPS ballast are super super cheap btw if you aren't picky. You can definitely get a 600w HID ballast for $60.

    Gastanker's 600+w Organic UV Grow

    Oops... I bought another tank. $20 at the flea market for either a 5 or 7g eclipse all in one. Not sure the tank itself was a steal but it came with just too many extras and I had needed a 25w heater anyways so I had to buy it. Came with a heater, 4 extra filters still in the sealed bag...

    tent environment

    I'm going to have to agree with phillip in that you have too much light for too small of a space. IMO 1kW lights in 4x4s are a bit much and 2kW in a 5x5 is even more heat per volume. I'd recommend getting either a larger tent, or using 2x600w or just a single 1kW in your 5x5 tent. My buddy...

    help building cfl lamp

    they come with two wires. Get a 50 cent extension cord and cut the end off, twist the two wires from the extension cord to the two wires on the light and then plug it in. About as basic as you can get. Of course use wire nuts or some electrical tape over the bare wire ends. Here's a picture...

    help building cfl lamp

    I would recommend cheap bathroom vanity light fixtures. Here is a 4 bulb for $4 - http://www.lightingdirect.com/maxim-990015pb-four-light-bathroom-fixture-from-the-maxim-collection/p860557 They are safer, easier to use, and less expensive than buying power cords and sockets.

    This site is FUCKED!!!!!!!!!!

    They didn't pick this site... When you post banner ads the vast majority of the time you just specify an audience type and the company you go through finds sites for you. They likely have no idea their product is being advertised on a site that was hacked.

    Ozone

    Let me rephrase. ALL ozone is harmful when inhaled. If you are never exposed to the ozone you create then there isn't a problem. Many ozone users I know of are exposed to the ozone they create. I was pointing out that you were making no point by mentioning that hospitals use ozone. And to...

    VIPAR 2xA300 NEW LED Grow

    Great looking grow. Very large healthy looking plants. Vipars are manufactured by Eshine, a Chinese LED company who also manufactures Advanced led units. Vipar does seem to be the most reasonably priced middle man so props on that. Been looking into other Eshine made models so I'm...

    Ozone

    It is no more healthy to breath in ozone as it is to breathe in H202. Both are harmless in low concentrations outside of the body but both are also highly reactive oxidizers which can definitely damage internal tissues, especially sensitive tissue like the lungs. H202 is used in hospitals to...

    Going Out Of Town

    Yeah 4 days really isn't that long. For longer periods you can throw a pump into a trashcan of water and set it on a timer.

    has any1 tried the BHO extraction?

    Definitely read upon it before attempting. Make sure to use cleaner butane and to do it all outside - people have been blowing up their houses/apartments recently doing the process incorrectly and being stupid. I would highly recommend vacuum purging over heat purging.

    Gastanker's 600+w Organic UV Grow

    Google is one of those necessary evils. Kind of like the government - you need it, can't trust it and never should, but at the same time you should believe that it has the best intentions and not shy away from its services. I guess I have a lot of trust in not being important enough for...
