What are the temps in your box? With 150watters I try to never let the plant get very tall because they don't penetrate very deeply and the lower buds don't fill out. Hope you end up with some nice nugget!

For sure man gotta keep them short and 150s will give you great results. I highly suggest you get one. I used to do the cfl thing too and it made life much easier. with the 150. If you mod it with a cool tube its very easy to control the heat, and adds a lot of density to the nugs. Especially if you found it for 77. I paid 130 for mine but thats including the glass light sheild so make sure you get the glass too for heat control.

I put 4 150's together in a square see pic, now I am interested in building my own cool tube, any suggestions? My 4 150's worked but I never got around to putting in an extra mod to keep the wires from over heating cause I bought a big HPS. See the pic of my 4 diy 150's, I like it cause it spreads the light, but stays compact.

The idea worked, getting all four of them hooked up back to back, it was a start!

When I got the lights they were phasing them out, according to customer service, that was at least a year ago, they were CHEAP, I think I paid ~25 each. Anyway happy hunting for the lights, I was turned on to it by this thread towards the beginning of the thread someone was recommending e-conolight. I couldn't believe how cheap they were. Also Craigslist is good, I bought a really nice high power hps with hood from a pond enthusiast for a very good price but it was just luck, haven't seen such a deal before or sinse.

You know.. I've been thinking the same question here lately.. wondering if Lowe's or Home Depot carries the correct bulb for my HPS system. I've currently got two 150's side-by-side for top lighting and then I have 4 125watt CFL bulbs (both spectrums) for my side lighting. It's a simple setup.. but I'm a simple guy so it goes with my personality. Plus! I never grow more than 3 plants (3 Max) per grow. I only grow and smoke.. I don't sell any of it. Never have and never will because I'm not a drug dealer. But back to the main subject here.. with my current setup, I get around 2 to 3 Ounces from a two plant grow (strain depending) and that's enough bud to last me at least a month to a month & a half.
But yeah.. I think I may get the answer to this question today by calling home depot and lowe's to see if they carry the correct bulb for my two HPS systems. If they do.. I'm going to the bank before I go get them. I plan on stocking up on them.. that way I have them if needed.
I'm off to smoke my morning bowl.. my 'WAKE-N-BAKE'.
peace.

I've got a cabinet (33" of space under my light, 22" wide and 11" deep) with a 150W hps doing a 24/0 veg on my girls. It was more of an experiment but I never put my timer in. They've been doing great, but recently some of the dark green is gone from the top leaves, I almost wonder if the 24 hour light is bleaching them. What do you guys think?
Also, these babies are still in veg right now. I'm thinking of flowering the clones and biggest seedling soon, and putting the seedlings in a little stealth PC box I have for a while to veg more
First is a Romulan clone I got 10/27 (same day as the Super Silver Haze). LST'ing, and literally every single possible location for a node has shot out a new top, so I'm working with about 10 tops and trying to spread them out to get light haha. Crazy plant!
Super Silver Haze bought at the same time as the Romulan, definately a strong sativa dominant plant compared to the romulan.
And 4 of my seedlings from random bagseed I've collected over the last year or two. They popped through the ground around 10/26. The very first girl is biggest by far!
So what do you guys think about the bleaching/discoloration I'm getting on the upper leaves?

I dont think its to much light, i keep my ladies bout 4 in from my 150hps an 175 mh 24/7 with no problem. The main thing with close lights is heat, but they dont look heat stressed.
Its hard to see whats going on in the pic ,the hps light makes it all look yellow.
Id get beter pics up in the plant problem forum before it gets anyworse.
But ill take a guess at it, just get a 2nd opinion or 2.
Have you been giving em fertz? Im guessing N defeciency if you havent fed em anything.
Or Mag defeciency if it started at the top?
Are the veins in the leafs still green?
