Whats up all you 600 watters. Im going to be getting

Includes:

  • Yield Master Classic Reflector - 6" AC

I am also getting a few upgrades for my light

One thing i know ill have to do is buy a Blue spec light for Vegging since it comes with only a 600w HPS here is the website for my light http://www.gchydro.com/Lumatek+Ballast+with+Yield+Master+-+HPS+600.html
i was thinking of going with one of the bulbs you can get for 65 on the site but i figured i might be able to find a better deal elsewhere but here are the lights you can upgrade
Conversion Bulb - Sunmaster Blue 600 watt Add $85.00
Conversion Bulb C - Blue 6500 k - 600 watt Add $65.00
There would be for Veging my plants of course the standard bulb that comes with it would work fine for budding right?(Standard 600w HPS Bulb)
If not the upgrades on those bulbs are
GE Lucalux PSL Bulb - 600 watt Add $15.00
and EYE Hortilux HPS Bulb - 600 watt Add $30.00

Grow Tent:
Bud Box (100x100x200)

Ventilation:
As Far as Ventilation im going with either the http://www.hydroponics-hydroponics.c...lation-kit.cfm or http://www.greensea-hydroponics.co.u...tml#a15_2d1600
feedback on ventilation is greatly appreciated.

Im going to be building my own Bubbleponic System using either a 20 or 30 gallon tote

Either of those kits shoulld work pretty nice. I'd go with the 6" one. As far as the tubs, make sure you get the heavy duty ones. The standard ones have a lot of flex in the sides and usually cause problems unless you build frames for them to be supported on the sides. But it is much easier to get the right ones first.

Thanks so i should just go to a local grow store for a vegging bulb?
Click to expand...
would i would do is go to grow shop and get a sunmaster hps bulb or something with added blue spec...they are usually about 95,000 lumens and will say 30% more blue spectrum or something like that ask dude at the shop he'll know...the reason i say to do this is bcause theres more than enuf blue to veg in those bulbs and then when something happens to it u stiil have the reg hps bulb as back up..trust me u always need a back up....i blew a bulb half way thru flower and had to wait a week for another one not cool...ALWAYS HAVE A SPARE

First off welcome to the club 600 Hotsause.

The switchable feature on your ballast pertains to the voltage and not your light bulb. IE 115/240. You can run an MH bulb in a hps ballast. You just need one of these conversion bulbs.



It doesnt necissaraly have to be that name brand. I can tell ya this one is a good one though. Its high on the blue spec. High quality veg bulb. It cost me about $65.00 US.

I have the cheapo china made conversion bulb aswell. That one works great too. Just dont get much mileage out of em.

Hope that helps Hotsauce. :peace: 1BMM

You probably already knew that but just incase.:bigjoint:

Oh well, after checking UPS tracking, my other 600 should be here monday, I burnt the tops of a couple plants with my 1000, going to move them under the 600 tomorrow, after I've made space, growing in a storage shed is a bitch.
