if your interested, this is this site that i could find the best deal on it will be $288 roughly probably with shipping, could be cheaper for you depending on where you live. if you have a shop near by id suggest seeing if they have
everything this place has and see if they price match so you can avoid paying for shipping.

the ballast alone is only $155.95 which is a great deal, if you can find cheaper bulbs. heres the link http://www.growwurks.com/hydrofarm-convertable-sunburst-250-watt-ballast.aspx

sadly im just going to buy a hydrofarm 250w hps/mh ballast pretty soon being forced to. no telling when they will if ever will resell those bulbs and every company i talked to
has no idea or clue when or if they will get them back in stock.

i figured i might as well just buy a 250w hps/mh ballast, for the price id have to pay for a separate mh ballast. sucks they dont accommodate 150w ballast more, even my local shop doesnt carry my bulbs i have to buy them at homedepot
and they arent that good. so i gotta make the switch

gonna cost me around $254, including both bulbs, i know on ebay people have better deals and include the bulbs but i dont like buying from ebay always something, for all i know the bulbs could be used as well.

guess we will just have to wait :/

hey any chance you know of any other places to get that 150w Mh conversion bulb for 150w HPS system, i checked that link but they are always sold out and i dont think they get them anymore or something.

any help would be appreciated.

Just dropping a line to see how the crop is going. Any exiting growth? Any new discoveries? Are the buds fully pink now or did they shift color? Keep it up!

thx man if u dont mind i will probly ask u some more questions when i start using the aero unit.

you gotta worry about the PH most, when the PH adjusts it changes the PPM too..

Always check and adjust the PH then worry about the PPM, it'll save ya lotza greef!

As for the PPM's,
start them low and bring them up to no more then 1600 PPM over 5 weeks,
i start with just water,
3 days later i add nutz till PPM at round 400,
then in 4 or so days i bring the PPM's up a 100 more and continue like that till ya reach 1500,
then you'll find you only need to adjust PH and add straight water to keep the PPM's ware ya want them!

Hope that helps....
