Nope......that's the 1st rule when to comes to ballasts only use the same wattage that your bulb uses....

I have about half that size space, I use a carbon filter/fan combo from HTGsupply for $199, it's plenty big enough for my space, not too sure about your space

hahahaha I was thinking the same thing.....

no way, no ballast is supposed to be able to do that safely, major risk....no reward

I have one grow under my belt, I have a600W to veg my plants in a 5x5x6.5 space.....I add a 400 watt hps when I flower....in your setup, I don't know about the lighting, it may be a little weak.....IMHO I think the less plants the better in our sized grow rooms.

AI got a 5x5x6.5 area and I do what the guy above me said I boguht the htgsupply.com $199fan and filter combo........424 cfm, more than pleanty for my little area ,works like a champ, a little loud but get controls on it and you are fine...

I would agree, just relax, my bro is a cop in the town where I work and I know for a fact they don't do that shit here, in the mountains east of me they use a helicopter to see rugged sites that can't be reached by land...#1 thing to do is not tell anyone about it.....talking lips sinks ships...

I would check out HTGsupply, I don't know if you are in the market for a carbon filter as well but they have a killer combon on a fan and filter, both high quality worksmanship, for $199...the downside is the fan is pretty loud, but I am in the process of building a box to knock down the noise

agreed....I have the 6'' fan and filter combo from HTG supply...and it's 424 cfm too much for my 5x5x6.5 room but it's better to move and remove than not enough

I think co2 while vegging helps the plants grow but what do I know, I'm a noob.....everytime I grow it's a science experiment, you can do a bunch of shit till you find out something that works for you...

I'm pretty new to this myself, but I do have one grow under my belt, when I use Co2 I only use it when the lights are on, and in about 10 minutes at a time, 2x a hour in my 5x 5 grow tent(plants don't need co2 during dark time).....I try to keep it around 80-85 when the CO2 is on.....if it's...

I am kinda of new to this I have one grow under my belt, yes you can use a HPS, some people say that they cause the plants to stretch, MH gets more bushier and shorter compact plants, I have also heard if you do use a HPS , use a Eye Hortilux becuase it has the best color spectrum for vegging...

I just ordered this same combo....I haven't set it up yet but I have a 5x5 grow tent......will let you know in a few days how it turns out

yeah it's an air colled reflector that came with the 600 watter, another thing to consider is how hot it gets here in the summer...100++, maybe the A/C is the way to go

yeah...my first steup will be around $1,500 I need to get a portable ac or co2 filter.....I don't have money for both...awesome setup Jerry.......I'd be happy if mine looked half that clean...good luck

Ok I have almost purchased everything I need I had a budget of aorund $1,500.....dr-150, 600 watter (got a 400 already) couple oscilating fans, inline exhaust fan, carbon filter, nutes soil, ducting everything....I have a $400 left,,, since I'll be growing in a 5x5x6.5...should I go for a co2...

If I run a 600w light and ballast, a 400 w and a inline fan, regular oscialting fan, and the AC will kick on here in the summer, is that too mucht o run in my spare bedroom in my brand new hosue, thanks for the reply..

Thanks Vi, I appreciate the input, I believe I will try the Lumatek out

Hey guys, I am somewhat new to this, I had one horrible experience with a closet, so this time I decided I want to do this right....I have about $1,000 setup costs available for the major purchases ie: ballast, lights, inline fans, grow tent. I am about to order the majority of these items...

anyone?????
