400w Club-Show Off Your 400w Pride And Joy

I'm kinda in that category. I have a "Large Convertible Hood" by control wizards. It's 24"x24" but I'm running 2 - 400w CHM bulbs in it over a 4'x4' area.
If you have a good hood that disperses light well with a 1000w then it will show the same caricaturists with a 400w. If using a 400w hps ballast I'd highly recommend using CMH bulbs they are better in veg and better in flower. If you've read 1/2 the pages in this thread you've seen this link but here it is again http://advancedtechlighting.com/cdmed18.htm with this bulb you can leave it open no venting (heat is much lower) My bulbs are less than 12" from the canopy with no heat stress.
I'm sure a single 400 will run a 3x2 screen, your hood shape and light dispersion pattern will make the most difference in a rectangular pattern of your space
So the cmh bulb really has a big difference in heat compared to hps bulbs?

I do know it's supposed to have usable spectrum then the hps bulbs.. I aam in the process of ordering 2 maybe 3 and get a free one lol

CMH IS DA BOMB!!!




And please check out the following and lets MAKE OUR MARK!!

I was reading a thread and someone mentioned giving Ron Paul a contribution and that they was going to give again. He or someone goes on to talk about the stoners voting for him and thats why he's getting so much support from the young crowd.

After I read that I had this bazzar idea that just might send a message to politicians like never before between now and the election.


WHAT IF EVERYONE THAT SUPPORTED THE LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA CONTRIBUTED $4.20 TO THE POLITICIANS CAMPAIGN THEY SUPPORT?

They say money talks and since its not a lot of money we might just get a huge number of said, "STONERS" to send a real message about how they feel about legalization thats totally undeniable and untainted by beaurocratic lobbyist bullshit!! Whatcha think "Stoners"?

I suggest we support, the man that suppots MMJ... Ron Paul!
Donations ($4.20) can be made here; https://secure.ronpaul2012.com/
For $21.00 you can say it 4 times and make your voice louder. I am!

Props on the grow Illumination, so what CMH bulb are you using? I'm about to embark on a small 400W closet grow and based on the research Ive done the Philips MasterColor CMH Retro White seem to be the best. I also hear you get better results if you throw in a HPS with the CMH, supposedly a 600W HPS and a 400W CMH produces INCREDIBLE Results.

Just taken yesterday almost 10 wks into flower, and only 16" tall. This was bag seed by the way, and also my first indoor grow.

Ing good bro.. Bagseed huh came out good.

can you use CMH in a electronic ballast? and is it much different from MH?
No u cannot put a cmh bulb in a electronic. Allast.. I mean u could buy its not recommends and u might destroy the bulb. Cmh is a big difference from my. With cmh you get almost every spectrum u need to when mh is just for veg with white and blue spectrum
