Hi everyone... I don't think I should add a pic here now cos I've added 4X CFL's and a UV-B tube...which has bought my wattage up to 760W including my 400 HPS... However I would like to add a few pic's of my new 400W HPS lamp :) :) :) After alot of reading etc.. I found that the 'EYE - HORTILUX HPS' is intended for use (only on old school Magnetic ballasts!) and if used on a digital ballast the lamp will flicker and die sooner due to the difference in operating frequencies ...

Any-how, since learning this I have now found the 'Ultimate' 400W Dual Spec HPS lamp.... That 'IS' intended for use with Digital Ballasts :) :) ... Enter : DIGI-LUX !!!

I have just started using this lamp and have to say its the tits !! and I highly recommend all 400 HPS users (with digital ballasts) give it a try :) !! - STELTHY :leaf:

Hi, I'm me and I'm about to join the 400W Club, my 400W HPS from htgsupply should be here Tuesday. I'm pretty excited, but really still have no idea how this is going to affect my area, I'm hoping the heat will be easily dissipated.

I was just wondering, I got my 400W, and I ordered some hi-lo hangers with it, the reflector doesn't carry enough weight on one side to keep it hanging even. Any advice?

Tie the lamp cord to the same place as your reflector on your mover and adjust it until it is even...is what I do...works swimmingly ... Hope it helps

Namaste':peace:

ps-I use a pipe cleaner as a tie to hold the lamp cord

It's bagseed, i ended up with 7 out of 7 female but had to pull out 5..i only have two in there right now! Im thinking about .5 lb..flushing now, ill start 48-72 darkness in 4 days..havent decided how long i want to go dark for. That microscope is great, cheap and efficient...hard to get focused sometimes though!

right on that looks like a nice yield you got there man, why'd you have to pull out 5, hermies?? or space haha?? yea on my first grow i got spider mites and snipped some leaves off and looked at em under the scope, watched em suck the sweet juices out of the leaf, nasty little fuckers i hope i never see them again haha. whats the point of the whole extra dark time at the finish?? make her think she's gonna die so she frosts up with trichomes??

They didn't herm out, i removed them because they were just taking up space because my monster bitch in the back overgrew everything else, and they weren't yielding anything. Yea, the whole reason behind the dark period before harvest is because they think they will die so they throw a last ditch effort to swell up in the hopes of being pollinated.

Took about 7 hours but got it all harvested and laid out on the drying rack. Had a taste test, it is going to turn out to be pretty damn good! Great sativa, nice edgy, whole body, no anxiety...Looking forward to the jarred product!

Looks awesome brotha! Try scrog nextime and I bet you increase your yield quite a bit!! Either way very nice job +REP

I'm sitting right around 400 watts, 250 Mh through veg and then a 220w hps for flowering. Plus 200w of mixed spectrum cfl's :) I'll probably be upgrading to an aircooled 400 soon though.

Here's my big girl, still vegging..

This is how my current grow is going. Doing 2 DWC buckets. The big bud pictures are of my Afghan Kush Ryder (on left) that was stressed at birth using B-1 Nutrients and has since become a monster. The smaller bud plant is Strawberry Blue (on right) and both strains are from World of Seeds. I'm using a 400w HPS Light system, Advanced Nutrients 3 part system, Big Bud, Overdrive, Carboload, Botanicare Cal/Mag and Humboldt Nutrients Ultra Snow Storm. Enjoy!!
