Morning cave man :-)

I am really pleased to read that you have decided to carry on, stealth style. I can totally understand your dilemma as I went through it myself once. Way I see it is that we are doing nobody any harm at all with our little stealth grows, and whatever the law says, there is no victim, so how can there be a crime?? Maybe, just maybe if it happens again we will find ourselves in court presenting evidence of bonsai style plants producing small amounts of bud for our own personal use, and asking how the CPS can justify the huge cost to the public at a time when there are calls from many prominent figures to end prohibition and decriminalise cannabis.The chair of the Bar Council himself has recently publicly called for an end to criminalisation for personal use, so we're in very good company :-)

A good mate on here called 'tamjam' went through the same thing recently too, but had to call it a day, and while I fully understood his reasons, I was sorry to read that he made that decision. Only YOU can decide I guess what's best for you.

cave man, I look forward to watching you build your case and getting to know you here. :-)
Good to see ya maturesmoker :) Thats brilliant news about that, i looked and found the news article on it that bloke should be our PM lol i decided to carry on as this aint gonna get me put in prison so whats there to be worried about :)

That sucks about tamjam but im guessing he made the right choice for him and his family, gotta play it safe in this harmless hobbie that we all love whilst staying green :)

look forward to chatting to you dude, and if i get hid power soon looks like i will have to start a new thread lol

yeh man i look foward to watchin this too glad you decided to continue on homie!
Im here for the long run simplybaked as im totally lost without some plants to tend to :)

cheers dude

quick little update :) the bagseed was potted yesterday so should have a sprout in the next couple days, im looking forward to this because the bud it came from was the best stuff i have ever seen in person and the hit was lovely apparently its some sort of dutch passion but thats all i know, i was given a couple spliffs worth and just happened to find a seed :) its gonna be good.

And a new addition a nirvana white widow, this bitch is already a sprout and has a very long story behind it! im not gonna go into any detail.

And a dutch passion blueberry is germinating, i wouldnt have germd it yet if i knew i was going to "acquire" the whitewidow seedling so now as shes been germinating for 12 hours theres no going back! case is gonna get filled very quickly

You are pretending to use them pots for the all the plant stages? Untill the harvest? If yes.. tell me if this one its good for all the life of the plant for a PC case grow.

Yep these are the pots they are gonna spend their whole lives in, This is gonna be a perpetual grow and planning on as many regular harvest as possible so must use lots of small pots. that pot you showed me would be good if you only wanted to grow 1 plant but i would say its way overkill it will only be a small plant so the roots wont be able to take full advantage of that pot

i disagree with that, thats the perfect size for a pc case lol ive seen people pull 2 ounces out of a pc case before and on here RIU so i know it can be done, the more root space your plant has the more it has the ability to grow, of course wattage, temps, and training come in to play but with all of that taken care of you'll be good. Ive been growing out of my case for about 2 years strong now with a few successful grows under my belt.

yes what you say is totally true but im not growing one plant so i have to use smaller pots, if i wanted to do a one plant grow im sure i would be able to hit 2 ounces. but now i will be happy with 10-14 g's a plant

perpetual is the game ;)

hey captain, here is what I found. you will have to find the g12 base for it though.
this is the ballast you found, looks good.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OSRAM-PTi-70-220-240-S-Electronic-Ballast-1xHCI-HQI-70W-/170538677772?pt=UK_Light_Bulbs&hash=item27b4e5b60c

and here is a light like v12 uses, just 70 watt and 4200k. i know they say 4200k is not the best for flower, but almost all CMH growers that use the philips brand prefer the 4000k color. i have the 4000k philip mastercolor, but i am actually gonna buy a 3000k philips mastercolor for a flower chamber.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Osram-Powerball-HCI-T-70w-HID-Metal-Halide-Light-Bulb-/330476422415?pt=UK_Light_Bulbs&hash=item4cf1ee050f

I would def still run it by v12. i tried to track down what ballast went with what. but I think these lights are european by nature, so the information doesnt read the same as I am use too. i would almost bet money these would work together, but cant be 100%. these dont have the UV either, which the philips mastercolor does. i search Ebay UK for mastercolor and the only lights they listed had the UV block also. so maybe they dont have a lot of lights with UV in the UK. good luck buddy

here is a very long, very informative thread on CMH, https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=72215. maybe you can find more information there.

wow gumball :) thanks ever so much for taking the time to do that, i done some more research and checked a couple ballast codes and on the listing it states which bulbs are good to use with each ballast and i think i have found a good little combination :) its not gonna be cmh so will go with a MH with a lower kelvin temp. looks like its gonna work out super cheap, will post the links in a minute

+rep ;)

EDIT i have PM'd you the links gum, and gotta spread some rep before you can have more lol

It was no problem at all CCM! I will check out those links for ya after work.

No problem on the rep, glad I could help. And who knows, you may be able to still get a CMH later with the same ballast. I'll check for ya later.
