yes I am American and ill agree that was childish to say. I guess I should of worded that better.
what I ment to say was they dont care about the peoe the only thing they care about is getting there paychecks and making sure the major corps get everything they need so the give can get what they need. While fucking everybody else in the prossess..
if I could rebuild socity trust me I would. But even sayi g that shot out loadsa good way to get your door kicked in and randomly droop off the planet

I said its wrong

Agreed, people attacked my comment.. which I should have seen coming, so I felt I had to explain myself. Should have never mentioned it lol. I apologize. grabbed a cheap setup from LEDwholesalers off amazon.. cheapest you will find probably. I run 2 ballasts from them, a 600 and a 400.. its a no name but no complaints so far.

its alright man it happens. i apologize also for being a tad rude also. much appreciated n also thanks for the imput on the leds!
do you need to run a ballast through them? (did you mean you run it side by side?) or is it just plug and go

sorry haha.. the seller "LEDwholesalers" probably made u think I was talking about LEDs... that was misleading. These are just standard HID electronic ballasts although they do obv. sell LED lights, never checked them out though. I have nothing to say about LEDs.. I've only dicked around with a 45 watt panel red and blue spectrum. They eventually made a 28 watt model that has the same output and got rid of the 45. I just used it for veg.. thats what is in my signature. It was good for veg, I was impressed what it put out for being so small however I never bothered to flower with it. I originally got it for a little autoflower stealth grow under my computer desk but plans changed etc... it was made by sunshine systems, you can find it on "greners.com" I don't know what prices are like on this website compared to others in the states but I always reference this site even though I am in canada for prices and available products.

ah okay i gotchya. ha this will be my first run with them.. im trying to debate wether to get the pannel and run two 600w/1 600
or run one or two of the 600s with a bunch of the smaller leds ? in a 60x60x80" tent with 14 girls
i just made a thread seeing what people thought
im really excited to see what will become of my girls under the lights (also my first run in a tent)


i remember reading about leds when they first started hitting the market. every one said no they suck. fuck leds and shit

but now i see alotttt of people who swear by them

itll be a fun test. if i dont like it imma just sell it hahah

I just checked out that LED light.. personally, I would put your $200.00 towards a full HID light package, you will get so much more out of your plants. I would do some serious research before investing in LEDs.

If you have the money, I would do two 600 watt HID cooltubes and as many LEDs as you want on the sides

Now I don't have any experience with this yet but just found this out from a friend. They have splitters you can buy so you can run two lights off one ballast. I don't know if this is more efficient or how it all works or what, I'm sure someone can inform us but maybe this would be more ideal buying one 1000watt ballast instead of double the money on two 600watt ballasts.

I've heard about the 1000w splitter thing hydrofarm makes. Supposed to run 2 600's. I don't see how ud get 1200w out of 1000w tho. I've seen the redline ballasts made by sunlight supply that's actually 2 1000w ballasts in one, seem pretty cool but I'm a 600 guy myself. And @ $160 for a whole 600w setup its hard to stray away.

Well drop a link in here if you do start one, ill check it out for sure!
I left for work for a few weeks one time, left my old lady as caretaker for some mystery seeds I had. Nice, young and lst'd with 8 tops when I left, told her just to water and raise the light every few days. Came home to some dead ass plants lookin like a octopus died with his legs hangin out the pot lol and 2 of the 4 bulbs burnt out in the t5. Ill never make that mistake again!
Glad you liked what u heard bout the panel, maybe shoot up some pix when u get it.
Keep it green brotha, ill see ya round!
