Slight cheesiness to her...

I'm just starting my first ever 150w HPS grow, and I'm very glad I found this thread!

Good stuff! Subbed!

Here is my setup. Its outdoor in a barn. 1 150wHPS, + 1 125w cfl for side lighting. plus 1 30w cfl for extra side lighting. The other picis of one of my smaller side branch buds that was about 2ft from HPS. and I am about to update to my new grow. I'm def a newb and will need some advice.

hey guys just looking for some advice , i have a grow going right now and im using cfls and doing 1212fs cause i eventually want to make this perpetual my basic question is will i be able to use a 150 watter in my space( 50*50*100cm) or does it get too hot?

the 150w will work perfectly in there as long as you use a cooltube with correct ventilation.

If you still haven't wasted money on one of those I recommend you look into COB LED lighting. On the LED indoor threads there is alot of information. You can get much more yield from 150w of these new LEDs than you can achieve with 150w of HPS light. In the end it's more bang for your buck.

haha, wow.. I was just about to post here saying to foget about 150W HPS and go get LED Cobs!!!

Setup a bunch of vero 18 3500k or cxa3070 3000k on a heatsink from heatsinkusa and hook it up to a mean well driver!

What's a 150W hps lamp again?

I just barely converted from an old magnetic 150 to 3 cxa 3070 3000k cobs for a total of 156 watts. Wow. You won't look back. The coverage of the 3 cobs vs a 150 isnt even a comparison. Not to mention the reduction in heat

If there was still a +rep, you would get it just for the Last Dragon reference.
