    red flag

    depends,are you in a tiny studio apartment? it will. if your in a 5 bedroom 3000 sq ft house, then no. rule of thumb is 1000watts of light per bedroom is no problem.

    flowering and MG soil

    MG is loaded w/ chemical ferts so for the first 3 months or so, be very careful about adding anything, especially chemical ferts. I use organic MG and while I use some chemical ferts, I go very lightly w/ them and rely on organics as much as possible. local big box stores carry alot of organic...

    just got a new box, wondering about size of light I need

    HPS lights throw an oblong light pattern w/ less light coming from the ends so mount it horizontally w/ the base at the back or front and the sides facing the longer area. since you are only planning 3 plants& only have 5 feet of height, you probably wont use all 4 feet wide.I would consider a...

    Venting outside a bad idea?

    with a good carbon filter, you should be fine.if you are really worried,go ahead & vent into another room. venting into the same room w/ a 600 watt light will lead to overheating

    how many lights? if its large enough, it may work but if your only running 1k in lights, the heat signature is a joke and you are wasting your time.if your running 6-8 1k lights,it might work but you would need a long run & a large pipe,(1-2 feet) and leave the far end open so the air has a...

    co2

    read it again you only need the extras if you want data logging, remote use,ect. out of the box, it will give you a low current short to ground when CO2 levels reach 1000ppm and open when levels drop below 800. a low current draw relay and a power supply is all you need to give a signal to your...

    push or pull

    pulling is more effective but it creates a vacum inside the light fixture and ducting that could pull in smells,pushing will create pressure blowing air out any leaks in the ducting & fixtures

    Some questions about lighting for small grow

    yes, you need the ballast. also need a reflector and a mogel socket and a some wire to attach the light to the socket and a male plug.depending on where you plan to place it, a metal can (w/ vent holes)to mount it in would be a good idea. general rule of thumb is to expect 1/2 to 1 gram per watt...

    Ballast Issue

    my cheapest guess is that it could be a loose wire (or loose bulb) so open it up & check for a loose connection. >>> be careful!!! -even after being unplugged, the capacitor will hold voltage like a battery! enough to bite! for weeks. next guess would be the capacitor & since that is the...
