    Businesslights.com - Great Service

    Hey Pastafarian, Thanks! I just wanted to thank you for the post. I found businesslights.com and was a little wary of them as well. I searched for posts on them and found yours so that prompted me to place an order. Just wanted to thank you for posting on your positive experience. As for HTG...

    Who Makes the Best Digital Ballast?

    I haven't seen any real reason that lumateks are considered good. I suspect that at this stage of the game that they are considered the best because they occupy the highest price point. In this market there doesn't seem to be any kind of independent product testing and limited sharing of...

    Who Makes the Best Digital Ballast?

    I'm no expert as I don't have any real personal experience with this stuff...yet. I just bought two Via Volt 600 watt electronic ballasts. I don't have everything set up so all I have done is plug'em up to test them. They were real inexpensive but they are anything but cheap. All of the ballasts...

    DMT, Setting Forth to Hyperspace

    Get some distilled water and thoroughly wash some activated carbon. It doesn't take much but it is important that you clean it to keep it from ending up in the final product. Just add it to your naptha and disolved dmt. Stir it a bit and filter out the carbon. I would like to stress that dmt is...

    DMT, Setting Forth to Hyperspace

    13.4 is the magic number for basifying, emulsions can form that are a pain in the ass but don't form at 13.4. Don't worry about hurting the dmt at that level. Also, by recrystalizing and using activated carbon, you can end up with a snow white or clear crystals (depending on how large your...

    What Makes Growing Vert Better?

    I was under the impression that cooltubes were one of the first aircooled hoods. that certainly could be the wrong impression. I say that thinking that it would be a snap to hang a light vertically in a non reflectored cool tube and surround it with plants on lazy susans or turn'em by hand...

    What Makes Growing Vert Better?

    I suppose just turning the plants prevents them from leaning over (so this could be done with a single light)? Why have we been so convinced the lights had to be above the plants to begin with? I say this assuming the concept of the vertical light is side lighting the plants.

    When is a 600 too much?

    That's the real bummer about buying equipment of this nature is that it's really difficult to find folks who have experience with many types of equipment. I also couldn't find any review sites on the stuff either. The good thing is that most of the products in the industry have decent warranties.

    dmt

    That joe rogan rant really made him sound stupid. just my opinion. I've smoked it quite a few times but my absolute favorite use of it is to eat it about twenty minutes after eating 5 grams of ground syrian rue seeds. Awesome. I just can't say enough about tripping this way. I've done up to...

    Carbon Filter/ Fan setup

    This thread has pretty much left me confused as I'm spending what is (for me) a crap load of money to set up a modest growroom. Jorge Cervantes recommends once every five minutes as a minimum. Please don't mistake me as a Cervantes fanboy or even stating that he's right. I would appreciate it...

    Good fan for cooling lights

    It's a matter of push or pull. Pushing the air into the filter will utilize the much smaller surface area of the inner area of the filter whereas pulling the air through the filter will utilize the much larger surface area of the outside of the filter. The guy at Atlantis Hydroponics told me...

    is it safe to run a 600w metal halide at 300w ?

    is it safe to run a 600w metal halide at 300w ?

    Cool! Thanks Gastanker. I would have definitely paid the 40 dollars more. Are you sure it's really that cheap? I had priced a bunch of stuff at htgsupply and then realized that they were adding silly profit in shipping. The fine print there stated that shipping charges had to be paid even if you...

    Good fan for cooling lights

    I've got a sunlight supply 340 cfm fan clearing out a 224 cubic foot grow room. I originally had planned to use the fan for exhaust the room and cooling the lights and odor control through a carbon filter but the guy at the hydro store says that isn't such a good idea since I'd have to run the...

    is it safe to run a 600w metal halide at 300w ?

    bulb lights man. don't ask me. I don't think the manufacturer was aware of the impossibility based on tire pressure. suppose they shoulda done some research.

    is it safe to run a 600w metal halide at 300w ?

    I just bought two of these generic dimming electronic 600 watt ballasts. They have four settings 50% 75% 100% 110% . They have resetable fuses and soft starts. They appear to be very high quality and light the bulbs nicely. At 140$ I think they are a steal. Course chinese manufacturers are real...

    Help please need to clear up a possibly false rumor/myth!

    i could see logic in the reverse, hermies reverting to female in the presence of males seedlings. logic being that hermies are self polinating and with males in the house that isn't necessary. Still that's absurd too.
