Have you guys seen the shit going down on icmag.com for 150w hps set ups, I think its called, 150w club and resource guide, well godamnet, who am i kidding, i obviously ripped that shit off! hahaha. :eyesmoke:But for a great, great cause.;-)

This is the place to show your 150w hps setups, and give detailed pictures and descriptions as far as what it takes to function, (Intake and Exaust cfm, temps, strains trying, method of growing, yeilds taken in, dimenssions, Ect ect..) :eyesmoke:I want to make this as magical as the site over on icmag.

Ill try to post my Hps rubber maid 150wer grow box, and join this kick ass club by tonight. Thats right, it can be done. The bitch stays cooler now then when i had 5 cfls in her, 4 25wers and 1 45wer.

Please be my guest and post away..

icmag has some awesome content. There is also a 250w club and if you're into cfl growing drBudGreengenes two main threads on there are amazing.

Alright, hopefully this kicks this thread off...

Those are 120mm Thermaltake silent cat fans, i highly recomend them for stealth growing, they move a lot of air, and are very quiet. Temps inside are same as ambient. Im going to add one more themaltake to my exaust before i put this in use for max air circulation, and mount that bathroom fan inside to help also.

Hey mr mic... just a thought i would pass along ... it looks like your using a standard mogul base lamp fixture .. all though most fixtures can handle 100 + watts make sure you dont have a plastic or lexan base .. they just cant handle the temps and may give it up when your not around.. heavy duty mogul bases are available at any hrdwre. store cheap ... .good luck

ok, i know u know my 150 setup MM, but here's the skinny for anyone else interested.

PC hideaway storage cupboard - dimensions (H)128.3, (W)74.8, (D)53cm.
gutted it of the shelves etc, lined with reflective sheeting..
2 x 4" 12v fans for inlet with voltage adjuster so i can speed up/slow down the fans, fitted with home made filter from cooker extractor hood, running 24/7
Remote 150 hps ballast,150 son-t plus bulb, ceramic e40, dutch barn style reflector fixed to the roof of the cupboard,
4" bathroom extractor fan above the reflector to draw out the heat, and act as the exhaust, again homemade carbon filter on top...Not sure bout the CFM of the 4" fan.
I do also run a 65w Cfl in there just to even out the color spectrum a lil for the younger plants, seems to work out just fine too..
I only use organic soil and nutes as a rule, altho i am trying some tricks out using Dr hornbys big bud and bud blood, but thats in the other grow space...I dont like using synthetic nutes,but i thought i''d give it a whirl..
Temps are maintained around 73-77,

The whole setup is run 12/12, so yes i do go 12/12 from seed in there too.
And generally end up with 3ft plants with 2oz plus per plant.

The lights will be on soon, and i'll get some pics of the setup and the current UK cheese x sour diesel that i'm waiting to chop.
Its getting cramped in there at the moment while i wait for the chiesel to finish.

This setup works great for me, i tend to do my experiments with my autos in there but i often grow regular strains in there too and theyre happy as hell.

Yes ive heard of such things.

Love the pics, good call there. Very intresting method aswell, very profficiently done.
Seems you have something of a perpetuall thing going on.

Ive heard that son agro bulb kicks ass, im going to need to get my hands one of those, ive read that the added blue improves trichome development as well as veg growth.

Thanks for adding as well. I cant wait to try those strains you helped me with, the Skidow (Skunk #1 X WhitewidowXSour Widow), Bat (Hes refusing to give me the secret but i know its a potent indica cross) , And East cost Sour Deisel X LR2 cross that is, There all germing as of now, so well see how that goes. Im so stoked to work with these Insane genetics and get some reall results. I would of otherwise been working with some seeds from some down town brown (vahmets a lilttle).

How many cabs you got going there? Id love to see more 150w cabs.

Perpetual harvesting is the key to keepin me happy..

I didnt kno they did son agro bulb in a 150w??? i've only seen 400w, poss a 250w..The 65w daylight CFL (apparently equiv to 325w or some BS) has def helped with the short veg they get until theyre mature enough to show pre-flowers..and yes the trichs seem more abundant, but that could be a result of this strain

Ha Ha i know i'm a tease , but the bat was ALOT of hard work, but its SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO worth it.... Hell i've even sold the males to some of the other growers in my area, so they could do their own mixes... so even if you do get males COLLECT the pollen, you wont be disappointed with its offspring..

Just the one cab with a 150, but our study also has 2x 1.6X1.6mX2m tents.
