150 watt hps Sun Sytem Grow Tent, Flowering Already

Okay My setup includes:

Sun Systems 150w HPS (80 off ebay shipped)
2 120mm Antec 3 speed fans for Intake and exhaust (10 of ebay shipped)
Walmart pop up closet (paid 15-20??)

This is a pretty good steup, the 2 fans keep it cool.

The strains im growing consist of 2 bagseed, GHS Trainwreck, and GHS great white Shark
They have been on 12/12 since 4/18

Nutes that ive been using are MG BB and Superthrive.

Im also doing a outdoor grow, this grow is to get me by during the summer...Im already out of meds from my last outddor grow.


okay here are some pics.

here is my setup from outside of tent

Nice I was using the same one but I had to switch it out due to heat issues in a secert jardin dr60 gotta get better circulation exhuast intake. Then ill re add with my led. But it worked good for the forst 2 weeks.

No heat problem here, The closet is made of fabric material on all around....so air can pass through it easily

I bet that would stay nice and cool...I am having some heat issues with my 400w right now...wish I could use an all fabric tent...it wouldn't keep out the light though, and I use the room where the tents are for other things

that fabric doesnt look light proof, how are u dealing with that?

I have it in the basement, its pitch black when my light shuts off. So i dont have to worry about light leaks

Add some mylar linning to the inside fir better reflective properties. Good deal though...

update tommorow

Forgot to bring out the trash, thats why im up so early.

What are you talking about???

had to get rid of bagseed #1, it hermied and had a few pollen sacks that already opened.....and alot of new ones coming in.

hung it up...gonna let it dry out and smoke it anyway...lol

What year/model is that sun systems 150w???...........

idk....i just bought it.
this is my first grow with it.

i will check what year and let you know

The reason I ask is that they are known energy hogs(this model) wondered if they remedied the (capacitor)flaw in the newer model's..........wouldn't happen to have a kill-watt meter by chance???? good luck and happy growing

yo, im checking your journal out looks good my first grow with the 150w sun system i did one plant topped multiple times in a 5gal pot yielded 4oz. now im doing a second grow with three plants in 1gal pots.

I checked my meter earlier, it was running @ 0.471kwh and when i shut my 150hps off it went down to 0.301kwh.

So Im using about 0.170 kwh with my setup....which im guessing = to 170watts

Update: here are some pics...
