Here's a chart from sunlight systems which shows wattage,hrs on and cost to figure out your monthly expense for lighting. My bill should increase around $210.00 a month for 2 1000 watt HPS, 1 432 watt T5, 1 150 watt Eco Plus Flourecent and 2 24 watt T5's. This does not include fans, pumps...

Thanks again:hump: Your reply confirms what I've heard from other people. 1000 watts it is!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's a link to my grow report so you can keep track. I will post a lot of pics on Saturday or Sunday after I clean the res...

Quick update. I dropped my lights to 3 - 4 inches above the plants and they are really taking off. The only issue I'm having is keeping my PH balanced. I spoke to Roy at Advaced and he said to adjust my PH every day or day and half. I guess adding lots of PH down isn't good. I will adjust my...

Thanks for the feedback:razz: I've been making little changes every day to get to this point. This is my 1st time growing. I must say that I'm spending a lot more time than I thought maintaining this. I'm growing for my sister who can't get licensed. She had a baby who has severe problems...

The main light is a sun systems new wave 48 with 8 54 watt t5's. I just bought a Sun System Bright wing with a 150 watt Eco Plus flourecent to supplement the main light. I have a 4x4 ebb and flow tray. I have a smaller 2 tube 24 watt flourecent i'm also using but there's some. The Sun System...

I have a total of 40 plants. About 25 of the 40 are really healthy and robust. Should I take these plants and place them in the best positions under the lights?

Sorry I forgot. Make sure your breaker for the circuit your running is at least 20 Amp. Also make sure you find out what else is running on the circuit. Switch the breaker off and see what doesn't work. Happy growing

I'm a newbee and have been doing a lot of research for the 8x8 room I'm setting up. One thing I do know is your power use is minimal with your system. No worries from a power use side.

I was leaning towards the Lumetek, but the rep at the hydro store is trying to sell me the digital ballast from Global Greenhouse lighting saying they use better parts. Once again your input is greatly appreciated:hump:

I know I want to use 1000 watt HPS with digital ballast in my flower room. Now the question is use a standard 6/8" cooling reflector or cooltubes? I will have a 5x8 flower area to use and will be using a Can 100 carbon filter with an 800 or 1000 cfm fan driving air through the lights and...

Just bought it. Great price free shipping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not from Hydro store so I felt comfortable using my CC. Thanks for the post Yak:hump:

I'm just setting my system also. Veg room I'm currently using a 4x4 ebb & flow tray with a 40 gal res. I'm using a New Wave T5 48 flourecent for my main light. I just picked up a Sun System Bright wing with a 150 watt Eco Plus flourecent to supplement the main light. This light will be used...

What do you guys think about the Ebb & Flow buckets. I think it a clean system which allows us to move plants around pretty easily if we want. There are 2 systems I've seen one made by Greentrees and 1 at Custom Automated Products. www.capcontrollers.com Multi Flow Hydroponic System -...

I have a total of 12x5x8 available for flowering. I'm probably going to use an 8x5x8 area for flowering. I just don't want to grow any more than that. I'm concerned about ceiling height and 1000 watters growing my plants to tall for my room. Thanks for the feedback.

I love your thread. I'm using the advanced nutrients following the sensi 2 vegetative program. This is my 1st grow and I'd love to grow some buds like yours. YUMMY:hump: I'm having problems balancing my PH. Went to bed and PH was 5.6 - 5.7 and got up this morning to 6.3 any clues? I have a...

I calibrated last night and my measurements were the same. I have'nt checked my batteries though. I'll check them.

I mreasure and adjust my PH 3 or 4 time a day. Roy at Advanced told me to put my nutes in and wait till the PH is stable for 1 hour then adjust. That's what I did. Do you think no cover on the res could be causing this?

I forgot that I did take some pictures on 1-6-08 when I planted the babies. Now he a 1 week comparison.

I woke up with a revelation in the middle of the night. I can't grow those monster buds in my room because my ceilings are only 8' tall. DUH!!!!! My plants can't be any taller than 24" going into flower, They should double in size in flower and with a 1000 watt HPS light needing to be 36"...

Well got up this morning and the res was back to 6.3 at 6:30AM. I left the room last night and PH was at 5.6-5.7 at 10:45PM. I'm using an RO. There's only one thing that could affect this on my side. The hydro store was out of lids for my res. So my res is open. Here's a pic of the res and a...
