Yeah the local hydro shop has a galaxy digi 600 ballast for $99 but it's 'as is' and I haven't asked him about it but am going to see if he's open today and go ask him. If it's new but just has no box or something I'll be buying that today. If it's used I might pick u a new magnetic 600.

Anyone use Artemis bulbs? There's a dude selling one on craigslis claiming it's new for $50 and I was considering getting it but have never ehard of it. Nobody around me sells the sunmaster ones (which is the other 600 I have is) and I can't exactly wait for shipping right now. Local mainly sells hortilux but he's pricey on his bulbs so I don't know what to do here. I need to get something today to avoid messing up some plants.

Yes Dez. It's all I've been using since I started growing about a year ago. If you check out the beginning of my thread you will see info on the products I got. I pay 15 bucks for regular 80K HPS and 25 bucks for Super 88K bulbs. I'll pop a link on where I got them. off eBay, will ship worldwide, great rates. Not sure of quality because I never tried anything else. I had one issue with a dual arc bulb that blew. I explained about that when we were talking about customer service with Nirvana I think. Then I ordered 2 88K bulbs and put one in to replace a regular 80K (stored that as a back up), but the other day I had a power surge and the bulb wouldn't fire back up again, though it was trying. Not sure if it was just too hot butI didn't wait and threw in the other 88 and haven't tested the other yet. I will for you if your interested in the link, not the guy cause he's robbing someone or just paid too much himself. This guy sells ballast and stuff too. It was hard to find info on Artemis but they're a division of Britemore Lighting, or something like that.

Looks like they're having a sale too. 6pc 600watt HPS for under 140 bucks with 15 bucks shipping. http://cgi.ebay.ca/6pc-600W-LU600-SUPER-HPS-HYDROPONICS-GROW-LIGHTS-BULB-/270658441978?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item3f048012fa

Well it will be better for me to just pay dude for his since I can get it today. The plants need something asap. I didn't see anywhere in their store where it said that any of those were artemis. The ones that just went out were those LU600 no name ones too. That's what came with the ballasts I bought so that's what I was using.

Thanks for the link though. I'll be calling the hydro shop in 15 minutes to see if he's open today and then hopefully heading over there to see what he can do for me before I go buy a bulb that is claimed to be new.

Ah. The old gotta have it yesterday trap. Well if your ever looking to stock up on some backups check them out again, they are definitely Artemis, Ive got pics on my thread of the packaging. Another Britemore brand is X Brite, which is what my dual arc was.

I'll definitely check them out and will probably order up one or two to keep on hand. I picked up a 600 magnetic andhortilux bulb. I'm going to see if I can get any warranty help on the ballast that went bad.

The light situation has me concerned about hermies. They weren't in total darkness but it wasn't exactly lit up in the 5x5 either. Considering putting the 12 that are in 1gal pots into 3gal bags and flowering them now. Worried that if I just pit a light back over them and run 18/6 that some may hermie when I do flower them in a couple weeks. I'll keep the bigger plants under 18/6 though so I can take cuttings from them later.

What do you guys think? Are they likely to hermie if I keepvegging the 12 plants for another couple weeks?

So let me get this right Dez, you got a bulb down and are putting in a replacement? If they are in a veg state just now I don't think 1 day with low light, or even without light will do a massive amount....I would keep veggin if that is what you wanted to do originally. It's going to take a few days for the plant to start chemically changing due to photoperiod, imho.

as long as you had some light during your normal time it will have the plants thinking daylight (heavy overcast) and should be no problem. my 2 cents

Word bru. Thanks. I'll be pitting them in the bags today and will put the 1k HPS back in the veg until the growbright shows up. I'll put the new ballast and bulb inthe tent where the 1k is.

I didnt think light interruptions or fluctuations during veg would matter? I hope I dont get any hermies then! Mine get 19/5, but sometimes I get up and piss at 4 am b4 they turn back on.
