Thanks, however thats too big for my setup. I just sold my dual 400 mh/hps thats been sitting around for over a year now, due to heat issues. Ive been running cfls and am over that stage.
After searching some more I decided on this system.

What do you think?

If it's a remote ballast unit like it shows that's the best unit I've seen so far for $70 but...

If you can run that, couldn't you run this:

If 400 is too much you'll notice it's the same company, maybe they offer a 250 coolltube version.

150w just isn't much on it's own is all I'm getting at and it's very little price difference between 150/250/400 so it's best to figure out a way to get the most you can.

Been awhile... 2X150 and some time to go.. Got my 400 just need to cool tube it. Getting another but need some glass. Wish i could get some glass locally. I dont know whats gonna come of it but i got some insanity on my hands.
keep it up guys. Get 2 150's if possible and use this site for knowledge on how to grow certain techniques and exploit ur grow to its fullest potential.
Today. 3 ft. sq. area. 300 watts. They get hot tho. Be ready for it.

Thanks, im gonna raise the light a few inches so its mounted directly on the ceiling for some more grow space.

My next grow ill be growing Serious Chronic clones. Those are big yeilders so im gonna be vegging for only one week then flipping to 12/12. They will also stay in 1 gallon pots to retain size. I'll be MAX LSTing them. Probably 4 clones.

Love that setup bro! I too am running 2 x 150's & I wanted mine to look like yours but I only ordered 1 candle shade & ya....ya need 2 & I found out too late so my lights are just hanging by chains w/baking pan reflectors for this round. Next round i'm splurging & buying a $100 6" euro reflector to house both my 150 lamps....they'll fit in this one :) Anyhow, props on the setup! Keep us posted on those nuggies.

jeez guys i dunno how you keep temps down. my cab isnt as small as some others. 18" X 30" X 60" and im constantly around 90-100degrees. i got 1 X 150hps, 1X42w cfl, 1 X 60w cfl and a 24" T5 fluro tube. thats about 130w of CFL on top of the hps. i got my scrubber with a 130cfm fan thats exhausting out of the box (scrubber is in the bottom of the cab though and its connected by duct hose so the air is being pulled from the bottom portion of the cab) the only exhaust is whats being passed through the scrubber cuz im paranoid, but i realize i need more exhaust. i also got a 100 or so cfm fan blowing around at plant level and smaller 80cfm above the 150. i just got the hps and added it to my previous arsenal around 4th week of flowering. i have been watering more to make up for the heat, it doesnt seem to be bothering the plant (only got 1 now, 1 died RIP)


im growin The Church also, just finished 5th week of flowering and its lookin good

forgot to add, grown in soil (pro mix) and all organic

I just bought those same candle chimneys today, found them at the local Michaels craft store for $6ea after someone mentioned that store.

Now I need to find insulated ducting...

I'm thinking about connecting them with muffler tape. Think that'll last?
