thanks man yeah this is from my last run of dairy queen its fantastic smoke but the yeild is poor.
next on my shopping list is a UVb bulb but their bloody pricey for what they are and getting a lower watt lamp is pointless for penetration really.

I discovered the ballasts my local guy sells run both HPS and MH bulbs. The only thing is he doesn't sell metal Halide bulbs. I have found a grow shop but its on the border of Belgium...next business trip I am stopping by that shop for sure..Will check out basementlighting as well. Witht he €-£ conversion things in the UK can be reet bargains!!

Hey Don, Thanks for that link to the BasementLighting!!! Nice one. Don't mean to hump your leg but I have also ordered one of the 300w enviro cfl's. Cool 6400 (instead of the dual) I have seriously been looking in NL for ages. The cheapest one I found was a 200w from the place over here at €59.
I also purchased myself a 400w metal halide bulb, will pick up a balast and cool tube from loca shop. I re-arranged my potting shed outside to sort out my cupboard and nursery. Plans, plans....
And, they only charged me £6 for delivery (the growshop in the south of holland charged me 12 euro to deliver 3 packs of seeds - robbers!)

Hope y'all don't mind if I bring a little southern sunshine from florida to this thread?
I'm new to using hid lighting, this is my first grow with them so I was real happy to see this thread. I'm curious to see the different methods of growing people use. This grow I decided to basically leave the girls alone and let them do their thing. I'm growing indica dominant strains but next grow, which I plan on having my seeds in the dirt January first, will be sativa dominant strains.
I have a couple/few weeks left before these are finished. I start my seedlings with a four tube t-5 so I can get a jump on my next grow when these are finishing.
I have one thc bomb, five thc bomb seeds from a previous grow and the father is either a caramelicious, another bomb or a crystal. I also have four crystal seeds from a previous grow.
Here they are at the end of week five.

Thank you. For the record, I'm using two six hundreds from high tech garden supply (the states) with digital ballasts. This is also my first grow in a real grow room. Being in a hurry to get up and running I did not put this room together very well. Before I start my next grow I'll be changing my setup around. Right now I'm using a four inch inline fan for my lights and will be upgrading to a six next grow. I'm also going to reposition my lights for better coverage. I can't complain to much. I'm hoping for a decent yield plus I got some much needed experience for my next grow.

I'm using fox farms tiger and big bloom and grow big. Actually I went very light on the nutes this grow. It's only been in the last couple of weeks that I've been feeding them full strength nutes. I also gave them a few doses of advanced nutrients big bud and molasses. I have also decided to not flush the plants the last couple of weeks. I've been reading up on uncle ben's threads and I'm trying my best to let my girls tell me what they need instead of trying to stay inside of the guidelines that most people seem to think they need to stick to. I'm trying not to get stuck in a rut doing the same things all the time. I'm giving my girls a dose of grow big this morning which is high in N even though I only have a couple/few weeks left. I have come to realize that the key is having healthy roots and leaves. If one can manage that, the buds will take care of themselves.

seems the dutch guys want to make as much out of their industry full stop last i heard grams of the good stuff were going for 20euros and more in some of the tourist geared coffee shopsHey Don, Thanks for that link to the BasementLighting!!! Nice one. Don't mean to hump your leg but I have also ordered one of the 300w enviro cfl's. Cool 6400 (instead of the dual) I have seriously been looking in NL for ages. The cheapest one I found was a 200w from the place over here at 59.
no worries bud helping folks out is what this place is all about man! do you need a different plug adapter to fit the 240 plug? this would be my only concern?! easy fix tho i guess
I also purchased myself a 400w metal halide bulb, will pick up a balast and cool tube from loca shop. I re-arranged my potting shed outside to sort out my cupboard and nursery. Plans, plans....
Get your grow on D!!
And, they only charged me £6 for delivery (the growshop in the south of holland charged me 12 euro to deliver 3 packs of seeds - robbers!)

I guess there are many ways to skin a cat. My buddy is an Electrical engineer and works on lighting systems for buildings, etc, etc. He was talking of designing me a low powere LED light system, using different powers levels being supplied to the different lights, he reckons he can cover the full spectrum easily....I guess there are units like that already, but nothing better than a cheaper home made imo. lol. He did say he would try and get me a liquid cooled fan, they sound the biz.
