Hey 2Rusty go check out my first sig, everything there is from there store online, great email response's, they helped alot, they also helped me cancel an order cos i didnt see the 'package' items, it saved me hundreds, i cant comment on there quality of ballasts or lamps, as its my first time to. they're tent is very strong and sturdy, material is great, mine is the mylar one.
they shipped it very quickly, great concealment (box was wrapped in full black plastic if ya concerned).......how ever just after i bought it i found there online ebay store under ozponics and some items were cheaper

http://stores.ebay.com.au/ozponics?_rdc=1
http://www.aussieponics.com/

i contacted them and the dropped the price for me...but i also noticed another store called:

http://stores.ebay.com.au/Discount-Hydroponic-Supplies?_rdc=1
these guys are really good in fact so good i praise them, so much selection you can call her up and she will phone you back number is in the main text on front page, tent packages are a bit more pricey but more advanced with cool tubes (sorta need it if ya go a 1.2mx1.2mx2m one), but other smaller items are a littl bit cheaper than ozponics, both are great IMO

forget about all the others just go straight to discount hydro cheapest by a long shot and you can actually ring em instead of ordering through ebay and save even more money

you dont like them huh?

 

[odlaw]

growlush ballast are known for not being reliable man they use cheap arse parts and then when it does stuff up unless you got a good hydro store that will sort it out for ya and deal with growlush you will get fucked around for ages

cool well i will continue to cool my ballast down (24/7 actually) with my fan and its only ever like a glass of warm coffee to touch, hopefully that'll keep it going till i decide onna JB or a lumey in the future

 

[odlaw]

dont get me wrong man im not saying yours will fuck up and i dont know how good there digital ballasts are but i would assume they have cheap parts like there magnetic ones

Damn sorry to hear bout your ballast man. I had a grolush magnetic and yer it was absolute shit

In the end i had to change for a JB. With any luck the digital isnt AS bad, but as Odlaw said probs the same cheap parts as the magnetic ones. Is it possible to run the ballast outside the tent and IF you can just build a little box with a bunch of 120mm computer fans in it to keep the air moving?

hey Skiz, there is nothing wrong with it it has only ever done about 20hrs use so far and this was for me to just run tests for my set up (setting up climate,and overall tent condition), i spoke to Odlaw a while back about them, so this is just a preventative measure, as i said it can only help, but i applaud your enthusiasm for caring, thats a nice trait you got!

O sorry buddy i didnt read the last 5 or so pages so kind of just took the last comment and ran with it lol.

Well it does vary as one of the shops i use (and where i got the ballast from) said they have never had any issues with them so were more than happy to exchange mine for a JB one instead. Discount hydro however said they would never stock grolush ballasts again due to too many complaints.....so you might not be as unlucky as i was and get a decent product

Mine was shitty and was too newbie at it all so was not allowing the thing to cool down before powering it back up so would of REALLY tested the circuitry on it.....so i was a little to blame for my ballasts death lol.

Well either way seems like you got your stuff together as does Odlaw so im sure can work out any issue you come across with it




@Odlaw:
My jock seems to be going into flower now so will be about 11 weeks away from having some nice fresh trim to make goodies with. Is there any books you can suggest for making LOTS of different cana products from? (not just butter....things like lolipops, etc) as my GF MUCH prefers to eat than smoke due to some dodgy lungs

Hey skiz, grab some gel caps from a health food shop or from eBay, make up cannabutta but use Copha instead of butter (higher saturated fats), and fill the caps.
If you make them not too strong then your GF can accurately control her intake by taking however many she wants (needs).
It's a lot more efficient than having some horrible tasting edibles that may spoil before you get to eat them - with gel caps you taste nothing and the copha will last pretty much forever in the fridge.

O i have seen you mention this idea before but forgot what to fill them with (i was thinking hash or trim), because i thought the butter would start dissolving the caps from inside?

That said i still wouldnt mind a few eadibles as she LOVES the brownies i make and said the after taste of the butter is kinda nice. Managed to go through half the batch so couldnt of been too bad

As for storing, yer copha seems to pretty much store forever!!!! I had some copha last for 5months before i threw it out (due to other house members getting pissed off with it being in the fridge) and it outlasted the butter by a LONG shot. Butter was going rank i think after a month or two.

... as long as there is no water present the gel caps won't dissolve, just to be safe - drop a silica gel satchet in with the CannaCophaCaps and they should be fine.

What brand of globes do you use

i am currently using powerplant mh superveg400w retro fit globe (works on hps ballast) for veg and powerplant superhps400w for flowering

im not sure how good the growlush globes are compared to there other stuff or other brand globes but i just refuse to buy anything growlush

hey guys, for outdoor growers its only a few weeks away from harvest, was just wondering if anyone had some good tips or ideas on drying and curing your bud properly down under.

i normally hang them in my garage and block all light going in, hang all the buds upside down with a couple of fans on low. it seems to work but i think there would be a better way.

cheers guys
