I love the stuff, 15 bags in the last 2 weeks and only got 1 left unopened. :wall:
All worth it in the end. :bigjoint:
My goal is 3 in and 3 out every week to pay for all this and take care of 5 patients and of course myself:cool:
Well 5 mins ago I ordered 2 Northern Lights Auto's 5 Vertigo and and I got a free bubblelicious.Theyre all Autoflowers. Im gonna crack all of them in 2 weeks when I get my HPS 400 Watt light..... What do u think of this?? I'm gonna buy it.It's not a brilliant brand or a'thing but all I can afford.It should do the trick.Oh and is it ok to use dual Spectrum bulbs 4 the whole grow??..........

I have a 400 ushio dual in my veg tent. I didn't convert the money but here I have ordered from Amazon light set up that come with reflector, mh and hps, ratchet hangers, ballast, and timer for $120.
I don't use the mh that came with it tho I upgraded to the Ushio. It seems to work great for me.
I have never tried dual band for whole grow. Right now I'm running 2 600w hps and a 400w hps all air cooled on digital ballast. My 400 is set to super lumens.
I have not had any problem with the less expensive ballast. The bulbs you run make the biggest difference. :D

BTW I've never heard of that brand here that you posted from ebay. Mine are all Galaxy and Apollo ballasts.
The reflectors that style are inexpensive and with plug in to any ballast although you may need adapter but them are inexpensive also.

Yea mate should do the job it's needed for but I counted 8. Seeds don't think that 1light will cover 8plants just a thought!I've got 5 running under a good maxibright and I'm constantly moving them about think I would've been better with just the four I`ll attach a pic and u can judge for yourself gl
Cool looking plants. I'm not gonna plant all the seeds in one go but IF i do Ive got 2 massive CFL bulbs and a whole lot of smaller ones for supplemental lighting if I need them.5 is enough for me I think.I bought the materials to build a Panda film growtent and Im a carpenter by trade so theyre going in there.

I'm not a Carpenter but I figure it out when I gotta lol. You have to post pics. I would enjoy watching your set up and grow. I started out small building boxes and what not but outgrew them quick so I moved a wall to build a whole room. Lol:D
