mh/hps

I was curious how many t5 florescence would equal out to a 1000w MH. I had been using the HID, but I found a good deal on 3 decent 4'x2' 4 bulb T5 fixtures I planned to use for a garden or vegging but was curious how close they equal out to my 1000w

Hey growers, I'm just choosing light for my 100x100x180cm tent. There will be probably 4 plants with scrog. Options: a) Simply MH 400W for growth and HPS 400W for bloom. b) DIY led panel (I can't afford much so I want to DIY) I was thinking about 9x50W chips 370-780nm (link here...

Im runing to 600 watt mh in my veg room would it be best to mix spectrem And add a hps instead of 2 mh.

Got my third grow going finally, super happy with how it's coming out! This is my first time growing in soil my last Two grows were dwc. I had a few problems at the start from low humidity wasn't a huge deal, just slowed down the growth a bit at the start. Feel free to post i always like...

Title pretty much says it all. Will a 400w MH/HPS light be too much for my 24"x24"x48" Grow tent? I was looking into some kits on eBay and found some with a cool tube that fit my budget. My set up would be as follows: Carbon filter > cool tube > 6" inline fan Passive intake Let me know...

Soooo... my 1st grow I only got 12g's.. satisfied with the quality but not the amount..... I had a grow log of it "Bagseed Grow log".. but..... I built a grow box 6.5x5.5x8 (Right)... I have 2 Fem swiss cheese and 2 random OG kush growing in Coco Coir under 600W Mh for veg, plan to use Hps for...

So I'm trying to start my 2nd grow.. my 1st didn't go so well so I'm upgrading.. I want to build a 8ft tall box that is 6.5 ft long.. my question is how wide should I make it.. to fit [4] 5-Gallon buckets in.. or how much space should i leave between each bucket..

I started 8 female White cookies on Sept 29th in Fox Farm light warrior seed starter. I then moved to Fox farm happy frog soil 5 gal smart pots. I am using a viparspectra 900 (418 true watt) and a yield lab 600 (MH for veg) here is a current photo I will update the thread later.

Would a 600w metal halide hood cook newly sprouted seeds to a crisp? I have heard in the past that you don't want to put them under a full strength MH/HPS setup until they have reached a certain stage of their life; I do not have a dimmable setup but it is air cooled.

I had one HPS and one MH bulb. rotating girls to give them a variety of intensities at different wavelengths. (mature vegetative state) Recently my MH bulb stopped working (i think due to some unintelligent methods of plugging and unplugging ballasts and such when rearranging. not the current...

I was at a pawn shop and stumbled across a growlight with reflector, digital balast, fixture and 6500k full spec. MH 600watt. This thing scares the shit outta me. At first it was making this holow matalic clank, but once the lamp warmed up it smeed to just do its thing. just the fan on the...

I am using two hoods, would running a MH and HPS side by side work out alright for my ten plants rather then buying two of each kind; just run both throughout their entire growth cycle?

I have recently relocated to a state 1500 miles from my old home and had to leave all of my equipment behind. Instead of buying a grow tent I have been building my own wi th a very simple design and for at least 50% of the cost of a premade tent of the same size The frame is made from 3/4"...

Hey guys! As you can see I finished my first batch of autoflowers a few months ago. You can go to my profile and check out full progress! Anyways I'm looking for some growers in the New England area (ct,ri,mass) to share thoughts and check out your led gardens. Feel free to PM me too. Always...

Hi folk, I'm doing a wardrobe grow, I have 1 good plant that I have lst'd (got over 5 tops) the heat with one 400w mh in cooltube is over 90 so looking at changing. I started with a 125 blue cfl and have at my disposal 2 cool tubes, 400 +600 balasts and 1 125w be cfl. Would a 600w hps be...

Hey guys I'm growing a single plant of a feminized Holy Grail 69 from Samsara seeds. Originally in a blue solo cup filled with Happy Frog soil then transplanted yesterday to a 5 gallon fabric pot filled with Vermifire soil. So far so good. I let them veg outdoors ever since they broke ground...

I'm just wondering if I could put a 150 watt mh bulb in a magnetic ballast and socket intended for a 150 watt high pressure sodium bulb?

My first grow, self taught, pretty damn proud if i must say so lol. Aurora indica femenized mh/hps an led advanced nutes topping, fimming, lst, supercropping, defloration vegged for 2 months 2 weeks into flower Any questions, comm criticism etc. The pics arnt recent theyre about 28inches...
