I appreciate the detail of the build-out. I am still some way off
from Vert, but will try it in time.

Hi DST and all 6ers! I am looking at 600w HPS and was wondering if it is ok to ask what the best bulb, ballast and reflector is? Or if not the best then maybe everyone's favorite combination? Please and Thank you! :) :peace:

i am not one for anything fancy when it comes to lighting, i've always just used what was cheap at the time. maxibright, powerplant,sylvania, philips, blah blah blah. they all worked just as well as each other. never tried adjustables or digi's however but i can't see how they help matter much in my situaton.

one thing worth noting is :there is no best anything, period!

Thank you ghb! I was hoping someone would say just that. The eye hortilux must be all hype I suppose. I can buy about 10 bulbs for the price of one of those. :)

they may be the market leader and have one million people saying they are the best, but it is all a matter of opinion.

as you mention for what they cost you could buy 10 bulbs, are they really ten times better then the cheap bulb?, of course not but to some people they are worth every penny.

start cheap and then decide whether you want to "upgrade".

I try not to buy super cheap stuff it always seems to cost more in the end wether your replacing it sooner, getting unsatisfying results, or even running the risk of it malfunctioning because its a cheap piece of shit. That said I try not to get caught up in hype and throw my hard earned money away.
I use digilux bulbs I get for 60$ a piece, I also really like the galaxy ballasts Iv never had a problem with them.

Thanks Whodatnation. I too never buy the cheapest anything. I tend to go for the middle ground. I feel safer that way. :)

Doob, you'll need to tie that thing down in sure as the plants will just take it skyward. Looks so cool in there.

The bottom has been anchored.
:-)

The plants are in place, and today I take apart my light hood to get the socket out of it.
I also need to splay the branches out properly tonight.
It's not as pretty & uniform as if I'd started training them from birth, but they'll all be getting a lot more light than previously.

I got it all from you....it all starts with the light for me,and I only go off of my eyes,the ones in my head.that digimax was a 1000 and it was just as bright as the 600 hortilux<<<not right at all.after that bulb went bad,i put a 1000 hortilux in....you could see the the diff.with a more blue hue to the room.
