    Nutrient deficiency or worse??!

    Hey guys, n gals? thanks so much for all the advice. To answer some questions, HUCK: trying the potato thing now, thanks for the advice ill let you know how it works CANNA/ISMOKE: im using the "GO BOX" and that does not include the flora series, but I do supplement the cal/mag+ from GH but I'm...

    Nutrient deficiency or worse??!

    sorry cannabineer, Soil, hps, like ~4/5 week of flowering last time i checked the pH was on the level, and I'm using the GH go box(heavy feed reg) temps are in the low 80's during day, dont know about humidity. I don't feed by spray. It could be a pesticide, I've been spraying (on the soil...

    Ive bought a 600watt hps set up with a 600 ballast, Can I use a 450 for veg?

    thank you for clearing this up.....instead of using wiki answers

    And you use wiki answers , so I doubt your a professor... Listen, I'm not here to start a flaming thread. But yeah, i'm not an electrician. I build computers and robots for a living. I don't manufacture HID bulbs, it is possible for them to have some sort of resistor inside. And when a...

    The ballast is just a fancy capacitor, it will draw 600w to fill the capacitor but after it did, it would run under 600w but would still draw more current than a 250 ballast would (maybe 300 and some change). I would recommend it, it would be the most efficient cause your seedlin's don't need...

    well, as I stated before "AS SOMEONE WHO PLAYS WITH ELECTRICITY EVERY DAY" (like as a job!!!) I know that hooking up High watt current to a low watt draw component WILL cause the component to overheat/burnout/eventually catch on fire/explode. Unless resistance is used to stop that full Wattage...

    Ive bought a 600watt hps set up with a 600 ballast, Can I use a 450 for veg?

    How sure are you? Cause as someone who plays with electricity every day. In like every case, hooking up a lower W thing to a high Watt input will just blow up/burn out the lower W component (unless resistance is used).

    Ive bought a 600watt hps set up with a 600 ballast, Can I use a 450 for veg?

    NO, I would not advise this. You should be able to put a higher W bulb onto a lower W ballast, but not the other way around. The ballast controls the electric use, not just the bulb (if you were thinking of this to save money) Also I heard something about being able to put MH bulbs onto a HPS...
