riddleme could you recommend a good supplier for a CMH Bulb + ballast?

I posted a link where I got em in my balls to the wall thread, there are a lot of other sources, but DO NOT do the new HTG setup as the bulb is inferior (not the good Phillips bulb)

No digis except for one truly expensive unit by GE

here's a great deal on a mag coil setup...is what I have and I love it

Bulbs:

More cmh info than you could need...lol:

https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=72215

There are vertical versions as well as horizontal: there are also some out for regular metal halide ballasts

Also you do not want to use them in sealed hoods or cool tubes as the glass will block the uvb produced which we truly want for potency accentuation


Hope it helps and I love my cmh setup

Namaste'

Or another good site for a Ballast, but their CMH one has an inferior bulb from GE.

for what??? lol
 
Thanks for the explanation Daniel. What are your thoughts on growing with a CMH in a grow tent (say 3x3x5)? Do you think the heat would be a factor even with 2 fans?

Funny you ask that.:mrgreen: I use a 400W CMH in the same size tent with a DIY hood with 1 fan for exhaust, and 1 for intake.
It's in this thread for the fan I use and how it's working. I use all CMH, except for mothers & seedlings.
Well Here Goes Again

Good to hear that :). I'm thinking this may be a stupid question, but until recently I was going to grow with LED. I just can't afford it and I havent seen amazing results as compared to the CMH/HPS grows. With using one of these ballasts will I need to do some rewiring in my house or will it simply plug into an outlet?

Most outlets can handle about 1400 watts (120 volt * 15 amp = 1800 less overhead get 1400ish for safety) So just makes sure you dont plug the vacuum cleaner (mine uses 12 amps at 120 volts, and I vacuum A LOT, fuck dyson) into the same circuit of outlets.

It would depend on if you got a 240v outlet, then it's wired different. But simple answer is, it will plug in just like a normal 110v outlet. LED's are a waste of money to me.

Have you checked outthe Kessil H150! I've seen several youtube vids of grows with it from seed to harvest it's pretty good. I'm using one on seedlings in my veggies and I gotta say it's way better than 3 or 4 26w cfl's I have a couple of pics in the gardening section in the thread I started what ever it was called, I forget, lol Grumpy old dreamer did a grow or two with the Kessel H150. They just came out with the Spectral Halo it's a 350 equivilent I don'tremeber the wattage 90 maybe something like that. I'm not going to say it can compete with CMH but they are pretty good lights.
