    BDMS with plants! WANNA BE A TRAINING MASTER LIKE ME?

    Hey Tom 420 how come your fan leaves look so dark? Almost black. The buds look done, the fan leaves don't. Sorry for the off topic question.

    BMO & Hydroponics

    I have not used all the BMO products in a hydro set up but I did use Super Plant Tonic in a DIY areoponic system and a DIY DWC system and had no problems with clogs in 1/4" lines,pumps, or srayers. Nor did I see any settlements. I was useing Gernal Hydropnics MaxiGro which is a dry one-part...

    Alaska MorBloom

    I second that. I think a call to the company will clear it up. I think it's strange that the Alaska brand lists its "veg" nutrient as "OMRI Listed" yet it will not do the same for it's MorBloom. But I think this is the on going debate. That there is a difference between OMRI, organic, and...

    ~ ~ ~ Grow Room Glow Stars ~ ~ ~

    I always wondered about moon light. I honestly don't think plants need COMPLETE darkness because of moon light. If you think about it, they always say "Closer to nature closer to perfection". With that line of thought, shouldn't we all have some kind of moon light simulator in our indoor...

    Chlorinated water

    Well your statement isn't all the way accurate. It should read - Chlorine, in greater quantities then those found in "tap water", is used in pools to prevent plants and other things from growing. Nitrogen is used to blow shit up. Should we not use that on our plants either? And the question...

    400W HPS in 600W digital balllast?

    Well yes and no. I did order this: http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=48956 but the ballast is Digital Greenhouse the bulb is a GrowBright 600 watt HPS Bulb.

    400W HPS in 600W digital balllast?

    I don't know whats wrong with my 600w lighting system. It keeps blowing my 600w bulbs but not the 400w bulbs. Anyone else ever have a problem where bulbs keep blowing out? The 600w bulbs wont last one day. They blew by the following "on cycle". I have it on a 15amp rated timer. I never had a...

    400W HPS in 600W digital balllast?

    I have some pretty thick hospital grade extension cords. Just that I turn my electric heater up as if I were running a 400w system which caused the overload. Things are normal now that I lowered the heater as if I were running a 600w system. Temps are a stable 65 lights off and 70 lights on...

    400W HPS in 600W digital balllast?

    Yeah I'm pretty sure it's as bright in my garden now with the 400w lamp and 600w ballast as it was with matching 600w lamp and ballast. I know for sure something is happening cuz my 400w lamp and 600w ballast set is giving off as much heat as my matching 600w set up did. I know that dosen't...

    400W HPS in 600W digital balllast?

    Yeah it was kinda stupid to try and would advise against it. But like I said I'm reckless and wild. Plus, we can't just live our lives on what people say. Granted I did solicit the advice then went against it, which kinda makes me an asshole. But I did seriously take into consideration Curious...

    400W HPS in 600W digital balllast?

    I don't have a cam but I wish I did. It would help a lot to get Curious Souls point across.

    400W HPS in 600W digital balllast?

    Thanks everyone. Did not expect so much help so fast. Curious Soul seemed like he pretty knew what he was talking about. So lets fine out!!! I'm a lil on the reckless wild side. I'll let it run and wait for the explosion. I have a shop vac :) Curious Soul...I'll give you total props if the darn...
