150w HPS Club: Inspirational Resource

Thanks frosty how do I sign up lol. Lifesaver sounds really nice. Im thinking about doing some grand daddy purple as well..Whatever this is. i heard it doesnt yield well..Purps look nice but not a fan of the high. Anyways ill look into these things.Thanks man.

anybody else here use the econolight $20 or $25......if so How far away from plant is good enough?

it was the best investment ever!! I bought 2 and made cooltubes, and keep them inches away.

When is a good time to start using it during veg?

yes you can use it for veg, just fine

i can get my non cool tubed 150's about 3-4 inches away with a top plant temp of about 83 degrees.

how?? i have an industrial blower fan on each and its like 62 in my house all the time so............it can be done

As long as you have a little $12 box fan blowing on the bulbs, you can get them as close as 3-4". Probably would suggest 4" to give you some wiggle room in case one of your girls has an overnight growth spurt.

#16 wire is safe to use for 1 150w. that is the standard .99 cent extension cord you'll find at home depot. You do NOT need to spend $9 or $10 on the orange heavy duty cord unless you're running 2 of them off the same cord. peace...

Nice looking cooltube bro! I got one of the candle shades off a crafts site for $14 delivered & the damn thing is too short to fit a 150w bulb in each end for a 2x150 cooltube so I gotta order another tube & secure the 2 together to get adequate length. I just hope mine looks as clean as yours when done.

It doesn't give off much heat at the bottom
