Looks like I'll be joining the 150w HPS club soon. I just got the HTG 150w HPS and it should be here by Wednesday! I can't wait. I've got 500w of CFL's on two flowering White Widows and plan on adding the 150w into the mix and keeping however many CFL's I can without heat becoming an issue. I've read a TON of pages in this thread and needless to say; I'm inspired.

That depends on your setup Shef, If you have sufficient exhausting, and/or fans pulling the heated air from around the bulb you can prolly get around 5" to make the most of the 150w.
If you dont have good venting and/or fans pulling the excess heat from the bulb, you should aim for around 8-10", which will reduce the risk of heat stress/burn, and will still give gret Lumen/watt ratio..
See how they like that distance for a day or so, and maybe move it up an inch at a time every day or so to see where their limit is.
hope thats a help

Well, i just checked in on 'the victims' and theyre perking up alot, and are now starting to flower properly.
Theres still an issue or two that i need to solve, but i'm gonna see how they fair for the next wk or so first.
The Clone has darkened a lil, and looks alot happier than when i rescued it..Its starting to throw out 'real' leaves instead of the horribly warped things it was growing before, and has started the first real phase of flowering.
The Indica is certainly better too,its growing quite vigorously although its still got a few hooked leaves,but i think that will rectify itself now its in fresh compost, and i've got to try n get a fix on a better watering regime for it.
Altho i think it may have had a slight calcium def, but i'll get around to fixing that once the watering etc is all under control.
Of the 6 Auto ECSD x UK cheese, 3 are now showing their cotyledons and first leaflets, and seem pretty happy so far.
The other 3 are trying to free themselves of their seed shells, hopefully will be at the same stage as the other 3 in a day or so.
Will post some more pix tomorro, i got a busy schedule today

Not much heat at all...but it depends on the dimensions of your grow space and the efficiency of your intake/exhaust,and also whether the ballast has been remoted....
These will all affect the temps of the cab.
In 150w grows utilising a cooltube, you can generally get the plants around an inch or two without fear of burning,they could prolly touch the tube for a short while without any adverse effects but its not advisable, Also note, higher wattage bulbs will make the glass hotter, therefore more risk of fire/leaf burn if plants touch the tube.

I just got my HTGSupply 150w HPS and I must say, I'm impressed by how little heat these lights produce. First I used just the HPS and my temps were 69.1F even with the HPS 7 inches from the canopy. I decided to add in four 42w CFL's; two on each plant placed around the sides. This knocked my temps to 75-77F depending how long I keep the closet shut. I don't have any intake/outtake fans. I basically just leave the closet door open most of the time while the lights are on and then shut it during the dark period. (I realize this isn't ideal but I'm not able to cut holes into the wall.) I was under the impression HPS lights were much hotter than CFL's but I'm already regretting not having this HPS sooner. My two WW's are already 3+ weeks into flower but on my next grow I'm going to purchase one of those $42 econolight 150w HPS's for side lighting and get rid of the CFL's altogether since heat doesn't seem like much of a problem.

aww shit guys...so i found a 400 setup for 70 bucks on the list so i had to go check it out(the ballast alone is worth the look) and needless to say it was a good setup with horilux bulb and all...I couldnt pass it up...problem now i have to figure out a whole new cooling and exhaust that old chestnut. Not to mention it fucking lights up the whole closet since i cant keep it in my little containment area. Oh well back to square one i guess(How many times have i redone this, I dunno like a million)

Well I just finished my 150w HPS sunsytem setup and wanted to show some pics for review by people far wiser then me.
They have been started under 42w cfls (x
and now have just three but I have turned on my HPS. The light is high for the pictures....and so was I.
Oh ya my blue cheese fem is growing eb and flow hydro I keep ph at 5-6 and my PPM is 500PPM. I use Nova Grow with spring water.
My church fem is in Lime, perlite, worm castings. Both are two weeks 14 days old and seem to be doing well. The church was transplanetd today. Box was just expanded so polly will go up this weekend. Planing on using 30-10-10 on her this weekend. (at half strength)
50cfm bathroom fan seems to work well with a 9" clip on fan and holes in the bottom for intake.
Light cycle is 20 on 4 off.
My thoughts were whether hydro is really worth it over just potting them.

Well I'm think I got lucky...the temp seems to stick around 34C with the fan setup I have. But the addition of the 150w hps has made a big difference to my plants. Even my pepper plant is spitting out tons of peppers since I have turned it on. Still these plant are going to be four weeks old tomorrow, thats from the day I planted the seeds, and I thought they would be bigger at this point. Both plants have very thick stocks and lots of growth but they are just not that high.
Here are some more pics. Blue Cheese is in rockwool doing the hydro thing and Church is in "soil".
Oh ya one more thing...can I use a 15amp timer with my HPS system? I am hearing conflicting reports. Can I even use a timer on my little hps or is that bad?
Is there a conversion lamp available for my system?
