Big update! I just got my ballast, extra bulb and reflector this evening for the bargain price of $100! I tested it out this evening, I feel like I'm on some strange alien planet when it's on :lol: I'm going to be setting it up tomorrow to work in tandem with the CFLs. Gonna have to wear some sunglasses when I'm checking my plants from now on, it's gonna be bright!! :blsmoke:

[quote="SICC";1799639]Damn those ladies are lush green, lookin really really good, nice and busy, i jus updated my journal, some of my babies are having a hard time :([/quote]

Thanks man, I just wanna drizzle some salad dressing on these guys and chomp em up they're so lush!! :weed:

I think your guys are definitely going to pull through. I wasn't uploading pictures of my plants at their worst--they were in way worse condition than your OOG. Did you ever get that pH kit? Everything turned around when I was able to normalize that pH, which was way outta whack!

Thanks man! I'm going to be setting up the HPS ballast and hood tomorrow, it's gonna be sweet!! I'm going to use the HPS alongside the CFLs, figure I can't blast those guys with enough lumens during flowering ;-)

Hahahaha, I love Tim Meadows in that movie. "You can't OD on it!!! It's not habit-forming! It's the cheapest drug there is."

Question??? I just got (2) 40 watt halogens will they help me

I think you want to steer clear of the halogens. They generate a lot of heat, which could cause a fire, or at the least, burn your plants. They are also the wrong spectrum, which will cause your plants to grow poorly. They also use a lot more energy than CFLs or MH/HPS lamps.

Halogens = :spew:

Oh ok thanx I was wondering if I could use them what's the cheapest/ most efficient light bulb

Go with CFLs all the way, they will give you the best bang for your buck. At $5-8 bucks a pop, they're easy on the wallet.

Look for CFLs at 5500K+ like this for the vegetative stage, often labeled "Daylight":



Look for lower Kelvin (2700K) CFLs like this for the flowering stage, often labeled "soft white":
