Nice Vid. Jig, i need to pop over to you'r thread for a peek, rather than post stupid q's. Im deff dizzy from watching that, is your light vertical ? Nice stash to mate, ive tried that banana Kush. My mate know's a guy who grow and came to me with a bit cali kush, and i was like ???? But later saw there's a seedbank called cali kush, and they do all the different kush pheno's, and then eventually found out it was the banana one lol.
Nice, sweet with the dankness from the kush creeping in halfway through the toke.

p.s would'nt know on the light fitting bassman. Would be handy though :)

I need cheap lumens for vegging
Ace Hardware has what you're looking for. There's a Satco 85 watt bulb-5700 lumans-regular base for $24.99 among others.

Thanks cof. Nice choice. That's my Heri X Extrema. Her, the C4 and a Deep Blue/JTR I have are all day 46 12/12. The C4 and the Heri/Ex are turning milky in the trichs so I'm thinking a week to two on them.

Hey all. Well a guy that I know offered to give my a 400w MH bulb but I turned his offer down for a few reasons.

1 - To much power draw and they are gonna be installing new smart power meters so I have no idea what they are gonna do.
2 - No room in this house can easily handle a 400w light
3 - There's a bunch of people around here that grow and I know there's 1 on each side of me so the last thing I need is to have my house look like theirs.
4 - I live close to a helicopter place and I know there's some cop copters there and they have been flying over head lately.
5 - There's been fires around here and my setup is built to be able to take down and not have to worry about having it up and possibly starting a fire if some thing happens or have a person brake in here last fires around here every single one has had a bunch of people's house broken into it. Same reason why I also like to have a seed stock because the last thing I want is to lose a strain that I paid for and or worked hard for.

WoW... I'm really surprised by everyones growing experience. I thought I was one of the newer growers... and it seems as if I started before most of you, lol. But I guess I win the prize for most sub'd threads. Woo hoo, hehe.

Cinders, my light is vertical. And it would be great to see you around my journal.

Duchie, those are looking nice and frosty. Awesome work!

cant find higher than 68 watt there tho
Huh... they got like 200w ones at my Home Depot. Sorry for the bad info.

EDIT: What???

Some times going for lower wattage CFLs for veg and more of them can be better way to go depending of the area that needs to be covered over a high wattage one to cover a smaller area.

toolage you need to pack up a bowl n burn it down, then call your bud and take that 400 lol sounds like parinoia to me...i could fit a 400 in any closet in my house much less a room lol

No. Around there I would have to get a guy in here to rewire the whole house because the wiring in this place is messed up big time. Also I don't wanna take the 400 because I don't want him to know if I might be growing because I take the lamp but also I don't want to shell out around $200 to $300 for a ballast. I'd rather buy 2 or more 70w HPS lights to cover more area and get a higher yield over a 400w lamp. The less people that I know don't know that I grow the better. ;)

Jig, my local HD doesnt sell the big ones. I live in a shittyy city I tell ya!!
The 85 watter I showed is special and has no ballast I guess and will pop if used in a reg outlet without its housing with the ballast.
Toolage, what would you use for cfls....several 45 watters?

Edit** I want to veg 9 plants for 2-3 weeks, normally I would used the 400 watt mh, but it is used for the mothers right now, and all I have besides that is hps

Man a 400 watt light doesnt draw much, compared to a toaster hair dryer etc...I live in a mobile home from the 70s and I run 2 600s a 1500 watt heater and a 1000+ watt dehumidifier from one breaker

Bass, those bigger cfls dont require a ballast i thought... its built into the bulb!! I have a 68W cfl; mogul socket that I got at Dixieline for 12 bucks, they are pretty strong IMO.

The one I posted was a replacement for a security light and has no ballast, hence the cheap price. Looking at it I see the base is shorter thn all the others. There are plenty of them out there that dont need a ext ballast though. above 85 watt I think they need a bigger socket though

Well I have no idea how this house is wired because there's almost an entire house on 1 panel and because there's a main power source out side is a fuse box and when the power exceeds the breaker box inside the house on any slot it bypasses it and blows a $20 fuse. The if any thing over 1 washer and 1 dryer and 1 more high power item even on a different rail it will bypass the breaker box and blow the fuse. I had to downgrade from a desktop to a laptop because that was pushing the max draw.

2 60amp fuses but the way the park is wired pretty much I barely get around maybe 40 amps before it blows a fuse. In the summer 2 a/c is max the fuses can handle ontop of the regular fridge and freezer. If the hot water tank kicks in there goes a fuse. The park owners refuse to upgrade the electrical wiring for the park witch is bs so everyone in this park don't get the max amp draw that they can get.

To make things even worse the landlords that own this part are completely anal and snoopy when people blow fuses since they have to lock the fuse box cuz of the people in this park were opening up the boxes when they weren't locked and steal people's fuses or turning people's power off.

ok I gotcha. My mom was in a park like that. They had outages all the time from bad transformers all the time too. Good luck bro!!
