100 watt hps

[Nike617]

haha yeah get rid of that shelf how much space are you going to have left? because once you put it into flowering its going to get alot bigger. and rememeber your going to need about 10 inches between the light and your plant you might need to take that out of that box you have.

 

[Nike617]

also I would get rid of the tin foil the box is all flat white which it the most reflective thing you could possibly have.

that wont work with an hps if your talking about what i think you are. hps doesnt just plug into the typical wall socket.the timers ur talking about will fail you even if you could somehow get them hooked up to the hps.

 

[Nike617]

yeah he needs a ballast plugged into a socket that goes into a timer

i got rid of it already..lol when i get rid of the shelf the whole thing will be open to grow.

 

[Nike617]

oh ok cool yeah just get the light and a ballast and your good believe me the 250 watt will be so much better.

 

[THE DOJA MAN]

well i kinda figured that out..lol how much is a digital one?

 

[brokeandwise]

A simple formula for figuring out the cost of your light or anything else

1.Multiply watts by hours used
2.divide by 1000
3.Multiply by KW cost

So for example a 250w hps light used 12 hrs. per day
250
x 12
--------
3000
divided by 1000=3kw

3kw
x 12 cents (guess. Just look at your bill)
--------
.36 cents
x 30 days
-----------
$10.80 per month average.
Hope this helps ya.

yea i think im gonna invest in the 205 then. too bad i can use my 2 120 ballasts

 

[darkdestruction420]

imo you should invest in a 400w hps/mh switchable ballast

 

[Nike617]

haha yeah he should but only if he can do it he was just going to get a 100 watt so even a 250watt would be a big jump. So yeah dude if you can get a 400 then do it up lol.

 

[darkdestruction420]

I would never buy from them ever again.. I suggest no one else does either.. There products are crap.. There bulbs dont last a week and there ballasts are faulty.. After 30 days you can kiss any return goodbye as well.. Your stuck.

 

[420OldSchoolDJ420]

a 400w hps on a 12/12 schedule shouldnt raise your power bill much at all.. It depends on your power cost in your area though.
