Really nice setup, this is exactly what I want to do.. Thanks for the pictures, give me an idea of what I can do. how many plants can you get under that 400?

Now correct me if I should re-post this Q somewhere else, But I was curious as to what the quality difference between one 1000w light and another....I have a 1000w with switchable (MH/HPS), and i got it as a package deal from HTG...It's magnetic ballast and i know the difference between magnetic VS. digital, but I'm curious as to to HOW MUCH better as well as what are the advantages of the system in which the ballast alone cost 400$...

-I'm assuming it's more light intensity being produced/Watt
-Longer system life overall on digital
-Also the difference in Energy consumption

Again, If this is off topic I'll ask it somewhere else.^

drgreentm, Plants look nice and healthy def gettin a 1000w in there or even 600w is gonna pack a lot of weight on those buds, I never grew the same caliber bud(density wise not quality) off my 400w as I did w/ the 1000wer

I'm Curious on where to get cheap Ebb & Flow Tables...they seem so redic expensive everywhere I've seen them....just gonna build my own but if i could find one for like 15-20 it might be cheaper in the long run.

That's enough out of me....Awesome setup Brobi-wan, seems to be working out nicely!:bigjoint::bigjoint:

whats up moose first of all thanks for stopping in and checking out my grow op now as far as i know from a magnetic to digi ballast are all basically what you said supposed 10% less energy consumption,quieter and my favorite if you wanna pay for it is the switchable voltage and MH to HPS.

dont worry about it lol i dont mind the ?'s at all I might get a digi 1000's switchable then i could run any bulb i want my reflectors are good to 1000 and my fan should be able to handle it as well. now for the ebb trays the botanacare trays are definitely pricey but they are made of better plastic so they dont bow under the wight of large amounts of water when flooded but i have used mason trays from home depot for trays in the past that and they worked pretty well as they are built to hold some pretty heavy liquid's
thanks again for the comments and any more ?'s are welcomed.

There really is not much of a difference other than they run super cool. The electronic can sometimes cause RF interference so having it sitting near a tv or a radio will make it a problem.

ok just harvested 5 of my best girls tonight and looks pretty good for only 5 my other 3 plants of another strain have a longer flowering time but they had to come down too so they are going to be making hash and eventually only going to be doing white widow until i can find another suitable strain.
