That's completely true, but an incomplete truth. CMH's under 250 burn on standard PULSE START Mh ballasts. I was bout to say what you just did T.H. They make the 4k Alto MasterColor in all standard wattages from 50-150, but ONLY PULSE START BALLASTS WILL PUSH THEM. Others roach your lamps slowly...

Uh... I hope you didn't murder your plants. If they had hairs growing out of them they're probably not seeds... I mean they might be but the hairs fall off pretty soon after fertilization... even if not you can still get a harvest.

Don't say anything stupid like your name anymore, kev.

Depends on how close you can keep the bulb to the plant without burning it. Not long. Week or two and you'll probably get some mad stretching.

Boy howdy. Fuck I'm pretty sure brew and grow is a DEA sting op. Seriously, doesn't matter what payment method you use. I may just be paranoid but I always get pulled over when I leave there.

Yeah, I replaced it five minutes after it blew. No problems yet. I talked to the grounds keeper, and he went through some of the lamps we put up yesterday. Half of them have mishapen arc tubes (AFTER 48 HOURS!?!?!) and the ones that don't are turning black in the middle. I guess the...

Okay, so I work part time at my apartment complex as an "Exterior Lighting and environment control tech". In short, I replace light bulbs, and fix light posts and sprinkler heads when the local boxcar children decide to vandalize them. Anywho yesterday I'm talking to the new guy, he's older...

the smallest conversion bulb I've personally ever heard of is 400W. But there may be smaller. I highly doubt for a 100w better. Screw it. Just get some CFLs, get high and don't sweat it.

...Cmon I was watching this. I wanna see plaaannnts!

Veni. Vidi. Bump. Anyway I just purchased 20 White Castle Seeds. Are these Beginner Friendly? I might just be having a bad search engine day but I can't find any strain specific information on these portentous bastards. Anyone try cloning 'em?:leaf:

Well, The CFL's are a 'Just in Case' thing. With the two HIDs I have in there an only half my cooling setup I can easily keep it below eighty. That's with a pillow in their to block airflow and absorb heat. Oh. And the random four seeds I was given are supposedly church, with a blue cheese in...

Buuummmmmmmpppiiiitty Bump. And as fate would have it, I just literally just got handed seeds. Two are blue cheese. The four are either blue cheese, jack herrer, blueberry, or hollands hope. Could I get away with any of these? The jack herrer doesn't seem like it's gonna like my little grow cab...

Anyone got any strains to recomend? I've had good luck with northern lights outside and I've heard it's a primo indoor strain. I've also noticed that AK47 has it's practically has it's own church as far as being a closet growers dream. I'll be growing in a 2.5'x2'x4' cab under a 150w hps, a...

Quick electrical questions: Can I run a 70w MH ballast and a 150w HPS ballast on one plug with just one Capacitor? Or would it be safer with for both to have their own? How would the wiring be different? I know you don't NEED a cap with lamps this small, but I want to be efficient. Also I'm...

I'm in a similar situation. I figured this would be the place to ask instead of starting another thread. Anywho, 2.5x2.5x4 space, one 50-70w mh and one 150 hps, both in the same cool tube. but Stealth and energy consumption are a factor. Can a computer case fan pull through a carbon filter fast...
