I ordered a 600w open reflector hps for flowering from ebay for $90. It has a dimmable digital ballast I hope it works out for my area. This is the one I got, is it a good ballast? I hope the ballast is fanless so it stays quieter. Screenshot_2016-01-05-16-54-31.png

Holy shit dude they will fry with the ventilation your using you will need a strong 6 inch inline fan for that light.

I will try it and if that happens I will just go right back to cfls. I got a new macro cell phone camera attachment and it's working pretty well so far I will update tonight with some pictures

Cool. Just be careful mate keep a close eye when u try it. It will fry them without good ventilation. How's the flowering coming along.

It is real entertaining that's for sure. And I will definitely monitor it closely. I live with my op so that is no problem. These are from the last couple of days 20160107_151248.jpg 20160107_151353.jpg PhotoGrid_1452067274291.jpg

Me too, mainly because I'm anxious for both of us to have dried and curing buds! Really excited to roll up some home grown for the first time. :)
 
What is the temp running at now from when you started? Did you order a new exhaust system with the fan? Running that type of light will heat up the tent even more?

With my current setup, I have a 20" box fan exhaust and for intake I have a 10" box fan. It creates a lot of negative pressure (not a bad thing) and my temps stay consistently around 80 and never higher than 82 farenheight. I'm using 500w of assorted CFLs.
