The Galaxy DE ballast is out for delivery today.
You're gonna like it! I still have not been able to get my hands on any agrosun 750 DE bulbs...I did get some 1000 watt Agrosuns and am running them dimmed to 825 watts currently.

I ordered 2 more used Galaxy DE ballasts off EBay. The seller lived in NY, like me. So tell me why they are in Wisconsin and have been for several days...I'm a little annoyed, especially since it was supposed to be FedEx 2 day.

Did you order a bulb & hood? I have 2 DE hoods and debating whether i want more than that. They make an air cooled hood for DE bulbs but I wonder if, or how much it takes away from the lights output? https://www.ebay.com/itm/114239249232?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5338683863&customid=114239249232_11700&toolid=11000

Funeral potatoes???

I made a green bean casserole for my brother. He loves the stuff, and he doesn't cook, and it's our grandmas recipe, plus I got him a nice glass rolling tray and a new winter coat....plus some bubble hash and magic cookies. I called him to drop the stuff off and he's in a bar :-( I guess I get corona germs in return!

My buddy just replaced all his 750w bulbs with gavitas 600/750 bulb. They work too. Looks like Ushio does now too.

i had a par meter before the fire and compared allot of different stuff but not the 750w agrosun so wouldn’t be able to tell you which 750w bulb that’s out now is the best.
I ended up running all phillips and ushio bulbs in my last setup. Currently running the gavita bulbs that came with the fixtures and they kick ass.

Nope, a private seller on EBay...a sloppy one apparently. So now these ballasts have been bounced around wayyyy tooo much!! If not in great shape they will be going back.

Kind of wishing I bought the Gavita all in one DE's lamps now...and I may still.

Christmas dinner is coming together. I cooked a 5-lb rib roast sous vide, 30 hours at 132 and then 18 at 134.
Pulled a gray chunk of meat out of 11 fluid ounces of a dark red-brown liquid.
I turned that liquid into gravy (roux of flour and butter), which will go on the meat and on the mashies.

I seared the meat in a 500-degree oven on a rack. For an oven roast, a 5- to 10-minute hot sear is called for. I gave it a full 20 since I started with a lukewarm piece.

The wine is a ‘90 Hermitage (though Chapoutier has chosen an archaic spelling for this flagship cuvée), one of my cellar monsters.

@Singlemalt it smelled faintly of alcohol when I cut the bag :joint:

Hopefully they are packed up good. Back in the early 2000's I sold a lot of items I had dropshiped on eBay.

I actually conversed with the seller before i bought them...They claimed the 2 ballasts were used for 1 grow, and they came with a 90 day warranty. And I said "I'll buy them both if you promise to pack them real well, because you know how stuff gets handled this time of year" and they replied "I am the queen of bubble wrap, no worries" so we'll see! Took them 3 days to get to the PO, so not the queen of shipping! You know how it goes with EBay...They are late so I can force them to refund me if I want to.

I bought from this other place recently who is a drop shipper....Grow Generation, and they have been mostly terrible.
