Hey my friend started growing for the first time about 2 weeks ago, at the moment he has 5 plants, all looking quite healthy ranging from 2-5 inches in height, but he only has a 20w fluoro 24/7 on them (in a closet). he doesnt have much money to spend right now, so i told him he should try and get 1 hps lamp for the job.. i found this 150w hps on ebay and im wondering if it wil do the job. also, 2 of the seeds wer takin from crappy compressed weed we bought, im guessin its indica. the other 3 are indica/sativa northern lights crossed with haze that he bought from a seed shop. im wondering if growing two different strains together is a problem? any opinions would be great thanks.

threepac that's a FU-KIN awesome light...I've been shopping for lights so I can move indoors and I think I might just invest in that one. mwahaha -dr evil finger to the lip- think it would be suitable for a 9' tall, 6' deep, 5' wide closet space?

that lamp looks perfect for the price as well, only thing is it says it only ships to the us.. thats why i asked about the 150w one on ebay, its in the uk so no prob shipping to ireland. closets only about 2' by 3' and about 7' high.

Just finished framing out my grow room. Took a smoke break and was reading forums. Been debating between this style light and the Lowes 150 HPS outdoors ones.... your post put me over the top! Just pulled the trigger on that auction... NICE


shiet i got a 400W switchable HID, i suggest somethin like

eBay: 400 watt BOTH HPS MH GROW LIGHT 400w w Switchable lamp (item 180046833664 end time Nov-30-06 20:00:00 PST)


problem with 400W+ is the heat x_X...i havta keep my AC on 18/6 LoL or else the closet heats up to 92 degrees. MH probably havta go 18/6 so it doesn't overheat or anything.


growing with different strains shouldn't have any problems, except for your compact stuff (eww haha!) good luck
