Its a Lighthouse Hydro. Got it on Ebay for $170. I also have the 4x2x5 veg tent, which is also nice. Very well thought out products these guys made.

No, its actually a 600w harvest sun ballast with plans to add another down the road, but this light does the trick for now. Especially in the tent, the mylar is very reflective. And I will keep everyone up to date on the grow. I have more in the works and will post those as time goes.

Thanks for posting this, saved me from having to ask if anyone had that tent. I'm getting the 5x5x7 one in about 3 weeks and the 4x2x5 veg.
We're moving to somewhere I just do not have a whole room I can flower in. making the best of it.

I cant really knock the LED scene, but I know that I would much rather go with a decent T8 or T5 setup instead of LED, for veg. Flowering I would go with HPS every time.

Nice! Just do the "light test" with the back side of your hand to make sure the heat isn't too much, and if it isn't too bad, the closer, the better. I currently use shop lights to veg and do my cloning with. Its really all that's needed at that stage of life. I can put the plants within a inch or two from the light without it burning it. I just have to raise it every day, but it helps give me the indication on how much the plant has grown in that day span. I use general organics. They along with other companies have "starter boxes" and to me, that's the best possible starting point for any beginning grower, especially if there is a small budget. Roots organic is good. Just follow proper feeding schedules and you'll be alright. Are those bag seed or bought?

Yea theyre bag seeds. And i just switched all up on my set up. Now i have found a mh/hps reflector for a reasonable price got mh and hps light. Mh at 600w 30,000lumens. Hps at 600w 55,000lumens. Putting on 3 plants. I dont have the digital dimmer hook up. Got two 6" clip on fans to keep aeration and lights cool. Ill still have to get my carbon exaust but i have a vice versa exaust fan to draw out heat and humidity, also my apartment is made of all big cinder block brick fron to back. So im not really worried about reckless oder. And i have bathroom exaust and all kind of smell goods and blockcage. And im going to invest in general home oder desolver. I got organic everything. Organic Esposa organic seed starte 6 pounds. I have organic tomato seed starter with all 15 nutes. Im going to mix that with the Esposa and see how that turn out. Then ill switch over in two weeks to the roots organic and get some other things just to slightly inhance fir color and taste. And im a newbster on the up rise for the love and protection of the HealingPlant.. to overgrow the world.... oh yeah i have to do a little more rwsearch on ph up and down....:hump::hump:

Im gointo go check cause im one of the truest and i dont lie. I did have a magnectic bulb at $30 and it was putting out 1000w at 130,000lumens but the LORD was like you aint ready for that beside youll really nees carbon exaust so i put that back. You kniw how you be shopping and want something you grab it but your money be like um what you doin?:cry:

Yea ok, i stand to be corrected, i was off just trying to memorize my research but im there you know. So on the mh side/ i have a E39 base 400w mh bulb compatable with magnetic ballast (36,000Lumens) 4200k. And hpsside/Apollo Horticulture GLBHPS 400w (54,000Lument). And the thought of putting to cfl reflector clamps with extentions and splitters with about 9-10,000 more lumens on the plants. 40W four a peice two per splitter. Whatyou think?

honestly, i would just stick withthe 400mh for veg or just buy a couple 48in. T12 shop lights and run them 24/7. thats what i have right now and is quick and easy and cheap. ive grown like that for years, never a problem.
