Mate, that is the exact ballast I want to get...can you answer some Qs?

1) When you use 50/75/100/super... does it use 50/25 etc less power?
2) Can you use MH with this ballast also?

Cheers man

Fuckin A

Im so getting that ballast, you have sold me man, thanks for answering!

What bulb you running? I heard there might be a problem running certain types...is this true? Something along the lines of a film (yellowing) appearing on the bulb itself? Could this just be people burning the bulb out via the super setting?

I was thinking about getting another 600hps for my new 4x4 tent and using my 6" inline to pull air from outside tent ~straight through both reflectors and out other side. I really want the new lumatek ballast. I have a reg Lumatek and Love it.

Yeah I have a adjustable Lumatek. I have had no issues so far. Well acutally the only issue is finding a 600 MH bulb for it. Finally found one though. Well that and making sure it is on the right setting but that is my deal and not the ballasts fault.

It's been something like sixteen days since my 12/12 beans broke ground. Five of them are already showing their sex, one is a male, he's in the trash and so far I have one mutant offspring female, one mystery bagseed female the two headed monster is a female and one thc bomb is a female. Still have a few left.

For some reason or other I can't post the pics I took last night, it keeps giving me an error message.

I keep finding Better and Better deals has anybody heard of www.Bestgrowlight.com ?? They were a link from here or ICmag so im guessing they are a good trust able company. With them i dont have to get a bulb.
Choose A Reflector: Super Sun 2 - 6" Air-Cooled Choose A Bulb: Other Additional Power Cord Options: 120 Volt - Smart Volt Cord - 6 ft INCLUDED Weight: 32.0 lb The Ballast is a Lumetek Digital. Since im getting 2 grow bright bulbs from HTG i decided to get 2 Rope Ratchet Light Hanger - 1 Pair for my light and my carbon filter.
Also a Oakton® EcoTestr™ PH2 with all of this it would be 407 Vs what i first was getting which cost 398 and didn't have 2 light hangers and a ph tester MY MAIN QUESTION IS IS BESTGROWLIGHT A GOOD TRUST ABLE COMPANY and are the rope ratchets any good and is oak ton PH meter any good?

I use a 6" 250cfm can fan to cool both of my 600w's and the hoods(SuperSunII) are cold to the touch. I have the fan on a fan controller and run it at about half speed. So I effectively cool 1200w's with 125cfm. As far as moving the lights or dimming them, I have never tried, but mine get super frosty leaving it close.

i got a call from my futare grower for the summer and she needs me to finish up my indoor so i can make her my card holder so she can start my outdoor plants cuz its about that time here. she said the sooner the better so i said in 7 days. so today i am cutting my girl that i have began flushing. these pics are her outside before the chop and i will uploade the chopped version when i am done. i am starting to flush the other plant tomorrow and will chop her in 7 days. then its by by for me and pics most likely for the summer unless my grower is cool wich i beleive SHE is.
the buds have a purple to them but the cam doesnt catch it to much. well heres the pics. more pics tommorow of my other plant still standing oh and i know this plant should have gone longer but i have to do it and the trichs are amber and cloudy but still some new growth but all well its ripe and the other plant will be even better.

ok finished her up heres soe pics of her hangin. after she drys up a bit i will manicure them so they are all bud and no leaf. and then into the jar to cure for awhile. i wil end up with about 2 ozs dry from this plant. my other plant i beleive will produce 3-4 ozs. it is much fatter. i am cutting her in 7 days. i will take pics of my other plant rite before harvest and after harvest. till then no other pics unless its my dryed weed thats goin into jars.


also since i still have alot of nutes left over and they are all about 6 months old. all chemical nutes and a few organics. my question is how long will these be good for cuz i spent alot of cash on them and want to save them for my indoor crop after my summer grow is done. so about 6--8 months of them just sitting their think they will stay usable for that long.
