GO GET YOURSELF AN HPS and FINISH YOUR SOIL GROW...

I really really want to. But I also want to never deal with soil indoors again. Plus that damn 12 hour electricty spike keeps getting bigger.
Then just keep the extra as a spare...;-) riiiight...:lol:

You and I both know, if I have an extra light kicking around, that I'll end up with yet another table and have the 4 stage SOG going.... I guess that doesn't sound too bad. But then i'll have to get more light for my mother room so I can keep up with clones. Annnnnnd build something more substantial than the door held up by 2x4s that my trays are currently sitting on. Its just a big can of worms I'm not ready to open, for at least a couple months...:eyesmoke:

Just go get the damn thing...:lol:

and then.. since you already have it... you can set up another tray... OOhh 4 tray SOG..;-)

And you might as well get a bigger light for the moms too. since you will need them to shift gears......:lol: (wish they a really loud ROFLMAO right about now...;-) )

:o

Just.. just ...

uh ..

Just get'er done Bro...!!!:lol:

Oh. I meant to ask you..

Have you seen the ballast boxes that allow you to plug 2 bulbs in to a ballast, and time the them for opposing 12/12s???

Not even a flicker on the draw.. constant on... 12/12 on room #1 then it switches to #2...

so you could split a room in 2... use 4 bulbs... 2 ballasts... and keep the power consumption distributed 24 hours a day...

Did that make sense?:eyesmoke:

not many will.... :lol:

but it is still something to admire... and learn from...

I would really look into his DIY Icebox thing before dumping cash into an AC...

At least research it... talk to some HVAC guys in the real world...

I HEAT my op...

I burn hundreds of gallons of heating oil to WARM THINGS up... :lol:

So I am really not your cooling expert... but SOG is on to something...:clap:

Now I just wish he would plant something already... I remember in NOVEMBER (fuck.. he is taking this planning thing for a ride eh?!?!) ..

I remember a HUGE pile of shit on the floor...

Have you guys seen these????

I've been meaning to answer. :bigjoint:

I can't say I've ever seen a ballast with that feature built in, but I've seen plans for a flip/flip relay that essentially does the same thing. Heres one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/Flip-Flop-Relay-hydroponic-grow-light-flopper-hps-mh_W0QQitemZ290326261677QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_2?hash=item4398cb2fad&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12|66%3A2|39%3A1|72%3A1205|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50

Just went over whole set-up - obviously not in close detail. BUt i'm pretty sure he is running AC. The icebox is for the air being vented from his lights to cool before leaving the room. Its definately a great idea though and would probably make one if I had a water chiller.

He does have AC...

The idea was originally to use the "icebox" to cool his main exhaust being dumped into the attic...

The thought was that if he lowered the temp in the attic (around the whole op) his AC need in the op would decrease...

But the thing works so well, he has figured out he can use some of that cool air back in the op... lowering his AC bill even further...

I bet he will use very little AC...

And that is something to be proud of, cause he's got a 5k op in an attic that gets to 140F +...

Even if he does have to use some AC.. I bet he is making it well worth his effort not to...;-)

But that is just how I understand things.. it's not my op...;-)
