i havent seen many people with them. ofcourse most people have digi ballast now it seems. i think i seen the conversion bulb on youtube first, then thought damn i could one of those. saved some money then ordered it :) and gh3 part and some blackstrap.

Looking great as always my friend. Next time I take pics, I'm pulling mine out of the closet too. The shots I take of em inside just doesn't do them any justice.


Peace bro.

i like it so far :) its bright as hell. just sucks i cant take pix or videos with this light on. kinda figured my pix and vids would suck now. i take them out for pix half the time anyways so i'll just have to take them out every time now, no biggy. i also dropped my light about 3-4" and still running about 3-5 degree cooler now :)

thank you. power just came back on not to long ago. accident in town, some dumb ass hit a telephone pole. temps got down to 55. the lights were only on for about 5 hours before the power went out. so now im running the lights at night now.

so sweet bro, looks nice, did you grow a plant in a 2 liter?
when i first got the 400 watt mh(got from a friend) i did a couple test seeds to work out the kinks in the closet. it had a crappy bat wing type reflector that he made. i started the seeds in small plastic cups then transplanted them into 2lt bottles with tops cut off. those plants went threw hell. temps over 90, over watering, crappy soil mix. and after all of that 1 of them was a female plant. its 1-2 weeks ahead of the rest of the plants for flowering. i fixed the heat problem by buying a air cooled hood and adding holes for intake and exhaust. i still need to order a fan/filter combo. i forgot to add yesterday, i bought a 60-100x illuminated microscope. so i can now take trich pix :) i have to zoom my camera in some but it still works. and i just bought a digital therm. so i know what the temps in the closet are without having to open the door to check. i'll hook it up when the lights turn on at 10pm tonight. i'll post some pix later tonight.
