Okay so this morning I went to check on my baby. My balast took a shit on me and my bulb wouldn't start up. (was using a street light. Like a light 250 hps street light like the ones on the road.) going to order a balast on Friday when I get paid expecting to have it Sunday morning. Will my plant stay alive till then? I have it under the only light I have at the moment. 3 CFLs i really don't want to lose her.

Just worried about keeping her alive for the next week or so. The street light balast was from 1993 (date on inside) rusty af not worried about that just going to get a new one. This is also my first grow

she will stay alive - give less water and maybe improof kind of a reflector for your CFLs,
as they are radiating 360°. Less light less weight

I will be getting a 600w hps Friday off Amazon I got 2 day shipping 105 dolla. You think it will stay alive till then though?

 

[mahiluana]

yes - no problem.

 

[Jon E. Doe]

You wasn't bull sheeting. That's a real life Street light. +1 for making that happen.

Craigslist got ballasts and hoods combos starting like 15-20$ just saw 20 melonhead hoods and ballasts for 15 each set. My last magnetic came from there was 30$.#Random

I have two of those street lights and bolth glass cups that go with it. They are older then me by 2 years?

That looks like 1975 right there.

Did you check Craigslist? I got a 600w Lumatek ballast in perfect condition for $50.

 

[jeffrey r]

No I haven't.

 

[Chunky Stool]

No I haven't.

Highly recommended. Reflectors are cheap too. Hell, I'm getting ready to list a couple of complete 400w MH rigs for $40 each. Ballasts are old magnetic but they work fine. Hoods are very nice. (I got em for free from someone who switched to LED.)

 

[Cx2H]

No I haven't.

Look in farm and garden. Pretty sure I could gear up an entire room phat for 150$ or less off that list.

End of the month and storage and rent is due. Cash moves items
