Okay, let's clear this up for sure, please... was told the Quantum's (when dimmed) draw less power to & through the ballast along with powering the bulb down. So, when you a 1k bulb in that ballast at 50% setting, then you are drawing almost 50% less power... is this correct? Just to make...

I have a few 1k's on the quantums up & running now along w some decent c&c ballasts. Have both hortilux & ushio bulbs running in a side by side along with the ballasts. From a par meter, both c&c's & the quantums are very comparable... very comparable. Both ballasts run about the same...

From what I've read on the Lumatek's... their dimming option doesn't actually utilize less power, which is the case w the Quantums, no? Several posts have stated lower temps when dimming the quantums & pretty sure the company advertises less power use, so...? Also, Lumatek does advertise a...

ross, I've had the same issue on a couple of runs, including this one with some PWreck, though the GDP right next to them aren't doing this. I have a GDP w a group of Nebs where the Nebs are fine but the GDP did it early on. I'm working to narrow down the issue as I run varying nute & finish...

No shit about the jealousy part! lol My votes: OG SFV, Pre98 Bubba, C99... but if you have the option, why not get them all?!? Then ship us a few... ;-)

I can't see your image... says it has errors...? Anyway, running the two rooms opposite one another is just going to compound your issues, imho. in the same type of climate & you will always be adjusting w that operation. Also wouldn't vent out a window as this is very, very suspicious...

My vote is on the Speedster as it sounds to be a current/power regulation issue, though perhaps not. The Speedster is not UL or CA listed + made in China... you really have no idea of which components they put in there nor how well they will work... they don't even bother rating the unit...

Though it happens otherwise, one main reason people get bugs into their gardens is they simply bring them in. Can happen by accepting cuttings/plants from someone or a dispensary that is infected or simply by it being on your body/clothes. Perhaps you went to a park or walked on the grass...

I'm just familiar w moisture meters from the logging industry... it has 2 metalic probes that physically inserts into the wood/sample to test. I don't know of anything that can just scan a item inside of a container & tell it's mc...?

Can's work. Check out the new Max Fans as power ratings are indeed lower vs traditional... pretty cool. Just got a 10" which is working just as well as my 12HO, with less power. Would recommend going bigger with both the fan & scrubber as this will last longer and/or ensure all removal. If...

I used a gun the last time an inspector came... worked great til the cops showed up, then not so good...

I think your screwed based upon the limitations imposed. That closet is going to get damn hot as all that heat is just going to collect & build upon itself... a 600 + ballast will pump out some btu's. Venting is going to be necessary, so cutting a hole in the drywall or running vent tubing...

I would look for the dicks vs abnormal growth as that is usually an indicator of something else. Pics would be great. BTW, I've had some minor hermi'd plants that was able to use tweezers to remove them as they popped up. Also have had hermi'd plants that sprouted super dicks & couldn't...

Sorry brother, didn't mean that as a jab, really, honestly. Greenest of vibes brother! ;-)) EDIT= reason suggested was that had done the same thing before & got better responses w/o it... someone suggested to me. Peace.

Just my opinion, but slightly misinformed. However, it WAS good for insulating between the temp differences outside (either really hot or really cold). So, I was able to better control my inside temps. Peace.
