My suggestion would be to get better lights. What you have is good but you wont get the weight you are prolly looking for. I waould say 1/4-1/2oz a plant (or less). Usually weight is measured by watts. 1-2 lbs per 1000w. I have 3k now and expect 3-6 lbs. More like 4-5 in reality. Strain has lots to do with it to and many other factors including size. The bigger the plant the more the weight will be as long as you have light to penitrate the size of the plant. You do not have enough light at this time. WM

thanks. Very helpful. I am short on the cash at the moment, so I was planning on buying this light NEW High Pressure Sodium 400 watt HPS Grow Light w 400w - eBay (item 150269566806 end time Jul-26-08 12:21:00 PDT) when flowering came around. Im about 3 weeks into growth and there looking very healthy measuring in at about 12 to 15 inches. What is everyones input on buying this sort of light off ebay? you think it would raise any suspiscions being that powerful of a light and all?

After I purchase the 400 watt hp sodium, should I put my sunblaze florescent away, or would it be smarter to use both? From what I have gathered "More Light=More weed". I guess my main question is would it be worth it from an economical standpoint (electric bill) running both lights. I know there are many factors involved when trying to determining a plants yield. How much extra weight you think I would get running both lights instead of just the 400 watt hp?

If running both is a possibility (financially) for you, then the flourescents would be put to better use being used in a separate veg room, and use solely the 400w hps for flowering.

Dude... I fucking hate ebay for this kind of stuff. I urgently advise against it. I bought a supposedly new ballast, dead 2 days later, guy dissapered, at the same time I got a supposedly new bulb.... My plants SUCKED until a few months ago when I bought a NEW Hortilux at a grow shop... That bulb from ebay was not new, it was dim as fuck from start, but I didn't know it cause it was my first bulb...

When my first ballast stoppped working I took it to a grow shop, it ended up being the fucking transformer, wtf. I bought a new ballast, with a 3 year warrenty, from them imediatly. Guess wut? the cap died in it a few months later, I took it in and they replaced it right then for free no questions asked.

So my point would be... This shit is expensiive and it seems to fuck up allot. I see that its from HTG supply so their probably not going to fuck you and honor the warrenty. BUT your spending $150 with shipping, you can get the same setup at a hydro shop for that and then be able to get it fixed imediatly if it breaks instead of having to PAY to ship it back to them and WAit while they fix it, while you see your plants die...

If ya dont have a store then obviously you have to order and imho that sucks...
Online is great for cheaper nutes, cloning supplies and some other things, but with something as crucial as your flower light I just dont recommend it.

I just havn't had good luck with online shit at all and with shipping it usually comes out to the same price. I did get a 400w MH ballast kit (cap, transformer, mounts...) from 1000bulbs.com, it was $50, with shipp, and I allready had an extra batwing reflector, the case and wiring to my first ballast, just needed socket and bulb. I was also broke, as allways. Guess wut about that thing? The cap is dying... So I've got to get a new cap now, from store, still just the transfomer for that price is good and it WAS brand new.

Hope that makes everyone think before buying online... Besides the fact that everything you do is watched...

As far as the light arrangment yea have 2 areas if ya can and if not, maybe if those where the 54w sunblaze t5's like I have you could put 2 on each side it it would help, they dont use much elect. But in your case just use the hps.

You really need to stop thinking like "how much extra am I going to get if I do this or that" Just grow your plant, learn, do it better next time. But to answer ur question probably no difference with those small lights added, Now if you added a 105 watt CFl(20 bucks from 1000bulbs.com on each side it would help, btw cool light, 5000k+ for veg and warm light, -3000k for flowering if ya didn't know, u said you had 2 warm and 2 cool lights, they would be better for veg if just cool.

All my opinions
Hope I helped with something

Buy your stuff from bghydro.com. Generally decent prices, excellent service, never had a problem. And no, I don't work for them or know anyone who does, just a satisfied customer.

Grow lights are in no way illegal incidentally; if you want to buy 10 1k lights and grow peppers in your basement, there's no law against it. I use one of my grow lights to keep my ficus bonsai trees alive and happy each winter.

I've heard people complaining a lot about buying this kind of stuff off ebay, so I wouldn't recommend it personally, but that's just my opinion; I'm sure some folks have gotten stuff off ebay and been happy about it, but you never hear from the happy people, because they're happy and probably stoned. Heh.

Yeah Iam sure REAL stores like that one, discount-hydro, HTG and what not are fine, but there's my point about shipping and waiting compared to going immediately or next day to the local grow store. I say, on ebay just don't get anything from anyone that has under like 10,000 positives lol.

and Yah I know grow lights are not illegal, its just, I dunno, I just think they'll think I'm doing a "big op" with more than a few thou watts going and use that info to get a search warrant. Though I've never sold or never will from my house, there's nobody that knows except for a few other growers, and of course the world on this forum... About my freinds grow anyway. AlsO this bud is for personal... and medical use only ;)
So I guess I should not worry, I'll probably end up adding another 1000watt hps :blsmoke:Like I should.

guess wut, the room I am in has separate breakers on opposite walls for outlets
:mrgreen: So I dont even have to go up in the crawl space and run a new line to that room :mrgreen: lucky me. Though I still might someday do that...

Thats cool keepin ficus alive with an hid light, my ultimate goal for a grow room is to actually have a vegetable garden going with allot of small lights disguised as big ones to make it look like I'm using allot of power but really not. Then have a hidden room though that room with my bud, where all the electricity is really going. Next house though....
