hi i bought a 600w set up with parabolic reflector and hps bulb,my question is can i run my mh bulb with it as i don't want to buy another ballast ive read other growers doing this for years with no problems but id like some imput from you guys 1st as the comments i read were 2yrs old,thanks.
yes 1 ballast u can run mh or hpd,, dont belive the shit they say seprate blats to try get u spending more, ONLY if its the 20+ yrs old ballasts are u not able to run both types of bulb

oh an you shouldnt have bought a aprabolic refelctor they are rubbish, for the price u could have got a aircooled hood

Cod boring as fuck lol

yeh only people who say that are the people who are SHITE at it,,hence my fifa comment :hump:

There are splitters available to buy for 100w ballasts so 2 600w can be run by one ballast. I've never seen them for 600's but saying that ive never looked. Shit!!! fucking ignore me i missread/miss understood the post pmsl. It's cos i'm tired ok lol. Listen to ic3

thank fuck for that i didn't want to have to buy another ballast,i got told the parabolics are good coz i was gona get an aircooled hood,but got told the light is not directly on the plant with para and it spreads the light better,it seems every info my m8 told me is bollox lol,but i have to use it now coz the way things are going i could of just bought a big bit if weed instead lol,still got to get my filter kit yet,my seeds have come though which is great but ive heard a lot of shit comments about the seed im using ive got gh white rhino,super bud,exodus cheese,g13 pineapple express,advanced bio diesel mass(auto) and freebie mango from blimburn seeds,goona veg for 6 weeks or more depending how things go,in 5 gallon pots,using coco,my target is 2 oz a plants(which seems reasonable)its just i heard so much neg comments i am worried now its not gonna be worth the money ive put in to it,has anyone got good comments on any of the strains ive got?thankyou for your reply m8 you've put me at eaze now :)

cod is awesome mate. fifa hasnt changed for years, i used to like it but your only paying for the correct line up of player in each team with the new games. i got fifa 10 but ive never played it. i had it with the xbox with a few others. but i got to agree with the xbox over ps3, its a much better machine.

@dimebag battle field is shit, its a cod wanna be. it might beat the mordern warfare series but i love trayarch because of the zombie mode. i can keep playing them all day. im better against zombies than on multiplayer lol

@trichome 1 what sort of extraction have you got mate because ive heared MH gets very hot (never used it myself yet) but when i go for it in a grow or 2 ill probably get one of those 1000w dimable ballast to knock it down to about 400w is the temps go too high. i have trouble the first week using HPS
 
Has any one grown a:
Lowryder#2 autoflowering
Lowryder Easy ryder
Royal queen fruit spirit
Heavyweight strawberry cheesecake
with any success or have any tips on getting the best out of these strains?
any help would be greatly recieved

Thanks for clearing that up D, I've never used or seen them in action. I did think it was quite fishy that they say you can run 2 600w bulbs from a single 1000w ballast, 1200w draw on a 1000w. That did boggle my mind trying to figure that one out lol
