im a firm believer in hps an mh(if u have da money plasma). the lumens just arent tthere for cfls. but with hid comes heat, an exhaust fan from lowes (inline duct booster) will cool a 400-600 watt nicely. have a growtastic day

i used to grow CFL and they bud was great, but I am currently in my first grow using a 600W MH/HPS and you can tell such a huge difference... the buds are alreay twice as big as my cfl plants but it still has a month and some change to go!
HPS if you can, but have a plan to battle the high temps

Where the fuck do you live that that would be a standard plug?!? thats like a halfbreed between american plugs and european...i don't remember even seeing that layout on an international power converter set I have...
seriously looks like someone said "hey lets fuck with this dude and make this random plug that won't fit in anything"...at least thats what it looks like to me from living in the US

massah, that's the plug from a Sun Systems hood. I bought a Lumatek ballast ... and had to pay $12.Where the fuck do you live that that would be a standard plug?!? thats like a halfbreed between american plugs and european...i don't remember even seeing that layout on an international power converter set I have...

for the adaptor between Lumatek and Sun Systems.The hoods have a proprietary plug so it's obvious to even pro stoners that you HAVE to run a ballast.
