So my plans 4 the future is to grow maybe about 20 plants, with like 10 150W hps lights for flowering, its the best i can do, what ya think, is it ok?..I know i should have like couple of 600w but it would be cool if i had 10 150watters hanging all over the place and have some heavy vertical lightning going :weed:





:peace:

It would be cool, but way to costly. Remember, each ballast uses power too. More 150 ballasts use more power than fewer 600 ballasts.
 
Hey do u guys think u can check out my 150w hps grow. I've got 2 of them in a 2ft by 2ft by 5ft tent indoors in soil. Just bag seeds but its my first grow and any advice would help.

well thats only 2 plants per light but your only going to penetrate about a foot or two then anything further than that wont get enough light. i seen a 1000w on a light rail with ten BIG plants in a row!

i added a cfl for side lighting last night and left it hooked up to mains so it didnt turn off with the hps! one week into flower should it matter too much? only 1 hour before lights back on just gonna go straight thru...

Ofcorpse i am planning to use side lightings , cfls, fluros and i will mix some mh lighting, like a 400w spectrum in there as well..it will not hurt, but will only improve.

First time grow

150 watt hps - sun system
18" deep, 2 ' wide, 4' tall
120 volt pc fan taking air out at the top
a passive intake near the bottom.
Made of wood.

I am wondering if the small pc fan will be enough to keep it running cool. Not sure how hot the 150 watt gets when running in a enclosed area. Since its a wood build I would hope to avoid fires.

Also wondering what i should cover the inside with? just paint white seems to be a option? maybe there is something out there which is heat tolerant and reflects well?

I am planning on growing mellow, just a plant or two at a time.

Any advice, tips or think this set up sounds alright?

If anyone takes the time to read this thanks in advance!

Day 46 of flowering. Used Advanced Nutrients Sensi Grow A&B during veg, Dutch Master One during flowering, and supplemented with Humboldt Ginormous and Honey Hydro Cards. Planning on hitting them both with Humboldt Big Up powder on Tuesday at week 7 flowering. Gotta love these little 150 watt Sun System lights!

Yeah, the 150 watt Sun System lamps are not half bad as long as you know your limitations. They're fine for small grow areas. I imagine you could realistically grow 2-3 plants per light, but I wouldn't expect great results if you did more than that. Plus, you can keep them fairly close to the tops of your plants without burning them. Good luck man.

Sorry man, I never did SCROG or SOG so I don't know anything about that. I'm sure someone else on here can answer that for you though.
