Do you mean the lights that have the ballast built into the light as one unit or do you mean "cheapo" remote ballast? I have seen the lights that have the ballasts built into them in action; looks pretty iffy to me. Just my own opinion though.

I didn't realize how popular Ipower is. I thought Lumatek was the standard; but it makes sense, Ipower is one of the cheapest too. Anybody have any experience with a Phantom?

I'm confused. What's wrong with your trimming job? Looks fine to me. How else would you have done it?

Yeah, I've read good things about ceramic metal halide bulbs too. I think the article said something like they are a cross between HID and fluorescent in that they have the power of HID but produce a great growing spectrum for plants. IPower seems to be all over Ebay for a very reasonable price...

I've had my eye on this for awhile: http://www.ebay.com/itm/400-watt-400w-HID-Dimmable-Ballast-Switchable-HPS-MH-Bulb-Silent-Ballast-/121094243525. I have never heard of this ballast and I think that I may have run across some reviews that said that it wasn't the best but it does work. For...

Thanks Cap Master!

Yeah, we probably wouldn't go 600; maybe 250 to veg and 400 to flower with a photo. You are right, it may not be as expensive as I think. But it would really suck if we opened our electric bill and had a really high bill. I know a guy that lives just outside of Austin that has a little shed in...

6 bulbs at 55 watts a piece is 330 watts plus a 23 watt bulb is 353 watts to cover a little more than one square foot.

I am still debating whether or not to convert over to HID. I know that you can do a lot more with HIDs than you can with a Tron but I am really intimidated by the possible electric bill during flowering. The jury is still out on whether or not we will convert over. If we get decent results out...

That's quite a shot for my self-confidence on this my inaugural Tron grow. Thanks!

Oh, and one plant in the Tron now. The next grow I might do two at the same time, but still contemplating it.

Not at all: there are six 55 watt biax or pll lights (aka 2G11)that surround the Tron on the inside and one 23 watt cfl, the one in the picture is a 2700k. During veg that bulb would be a 6500k. Thanks for looking.

I just took these a little while ago. She is coming along very nicely, or at least better than I expected. I start "flushing" in about a month according to the Dutch Pro schedule. I noticed when I was taking pics that there was this really long strand of what looked like a spider web so I think...

Looks like you could use it for sandpaper. They look incredible! I hope mine turn out as well as yours did.

:clap:

Not lemony yet; just a cross between some sort of coffee and, as another person put it, "Defiant Kitty Spray" smell. It's not real strong yet but I am sure it will gas us out over time.

I know what you mean; I got high one night and then did my gardening (I never get high and then do gardening) and for some reason I got this bug to experiment with LST but I didn't tie her down and came back several hours later and SHE WAS TORCHED! Needless to say I freaked out too. I decided to...

great repair job! Can't see where the damage was.

no I don't think I have that. Occasionally I get weird blotches on the leaves toward the top of the plant but that's generally after I give her Roots Organics Bloom Enhancer but I cut those leaves off and the blotches are generally by the light so I assume that the light and nutes are burning...

thanks for clearifying that. I feel better now.
