Ok so I bought this 150 watt hps setup and I was wondering how many plants do u think I can grow with it and how far away should it be from the plant??
It's about 2x2x4.5How big is your grow area?
thatz crazy!! I just bought a 150 watt sun system yesterday and it came with a darkroom fan and the bulb. I'm not using the hps yet cuz I'm using these blue grow lights for veg. I should be flowering n the next week. I have 7 plants. 2 r clones watermellon skunk and white rhino about 3weeks old and the other 5 r bubba kush about 1month n 3 weeks old.ok i got a sun system 150 dood. props on the choice btw. they stay pretty cool, (depending on where u live) but yea i keep mine about 6 inches from the canopy..
heres the ak i hav under it just started flowerin this week...
and the lil indica to the bak is under it during the day but under cfl's wen its dark. but yea everyday i see new growth tho.
it aint much of a light but i personally think they r underestimated. SO in conclusion, KEEP ME UPDATED. LoVe to C good 150 progress.
did u hav a strain in mind?? or even on hand already????
One of mine is a sativa. I thought u can only top onceif ur thinkin of a sativa, or even a hybrid, top regularly, and mayb even look into suppercropping, i super cropped the AK-47xafgani i got. went smooth too.
this pik was taken the day i did it....ummm a week er no two weeks ago. and not theres a lump right there, looks STRONG. ill take a pik in da mornin. shes sleepin
thx 4 the adviceYou can fit up to 4 if you dump the hood and run it vertically in the center of the plants... That also allows you to grow taller plants than a 150 can normally penetrate, and yields VERY well for such a little grow.
They'll be short to zero veg plants, don't try vegging over 1'.
I ran two 150's for quite a while and ditched the hoods long ago, best improvement I ever made to that little grow. I prefer that way to training/topping/fimming/LST'ing the plants and the yield is the same or better.
I like vertical because it's much easier, they're all natural with less maintenance and easily moveable/accessible if you need to work in there.
Hopefully all goes well 4 mei have a 150w HPS and i flowered 2 girls under there with no problems in an area that is 2x2x6
i havent took it out the box yet cuz im still vegging with other lights and i didnt want anything to happen to the hps n the meantimei have the same light 150 hps when you took the bulb out of the reflector did u just use the bulb or did you add another reflector
my hps has a ballace built into it so i dont think i can take the reflector offIf you're asking me Johndoe I don't use any reflector at all, even though I'm running 1kw lights now not 150's the results are the same:
So did mine. It's called remote ballasting it's a modification that's pretty simple you'll find in a search.my hps has a ballace built into it so i dont think i can take the reflector off
