They fit in a regular light socket but the bulb will not be powered on, it need a ballast to work. Go check out lowe's or home depot and you should be able to find an all in one unit

Alright guys so I have been looking into ebb and flow... I have been searching the internet trying to piece together the perfect diy system for my flowering chamber. Here are the parts that I want to get:

This 23 gallon mortar tub from lowe's as the tray: http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=19252-1569-ST3608


This water pump: http://htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=50425


This fill and drain kit for... well you can guess: http://htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=50633


However many of these square pots to fill the tray: http://www.wormsway.com/detail.aspx?t=prod&sku=SWP306&AC=1

I will only need the tubing and a rubbermaid tote as a rez and I should be set. Does anyone have any suggestions or input? This is a while down the road I would just like to know what I want to do and not change my design 5 times as I am building it.

Tom... I've never done ebb n flow, but that looks like a good set up so far. I use 6 inch net pots in my Dwc, and am always thinking 'why would anyone need 6 inch net pots'. I guess if you use big old hunking rockwool cubes for each plant, but I don't see any purpose for anything bigger than 5 inches. I think I could have gotten away with 3 inchers.

I like the forward looing to the next setup.

What's up everyone, been a while since I posted. Today marked 68 days flowering for the Church and she has been harvested. Couldn't get many pics kinda busy but will def get more once she dries out a little more. The T.S,S. is at 12 weeks and 7 days into flowering and she is still going strong. The buds are really adding on some weight now. I took her out from the 70 watt HPS and put her under the 250 watt for the last few weeks since the Church is gone. She is fox tailing a little bit but I am not too worried. Here's the pics of the t.s.s.-









The Church buds-





Let me know what you all think :joint::peace:
