Yeah, but having already purchased a 150w setup do you think I should splurge on the 250 now? or wait a little while until I can dial in temps and go for the 400? I mean my space isn't that big so 400w maybe going a little overboard. 2ft wide 2ft long 6ft high. Also if the 250 does give a significant boost of temps it could be used only during fall/winter as here it is usually fairly cold. Easier to raise temps then lower them if need be
I got mine today, YEA!! The 100 watt bulb is so teeny-tiny!! Is your 150watt bulb small too? That's cool cause I made my cooltube from a lantern globe, it will fit perfect!Well. I sure feel like an ass.I went to see the Ansi of my 400W Ballast to check what it would take to change it. It had a MH Bulb when I "freed" it from storage a decade ago. It was a S51 and looking it up it is a HPS, and I can order the bulb from http://www.lightingsupply.com/CDM400S51-HOR-4K-ALTO.aspx
Who I have had great relations with and FULLY recommend them. It's my veg. table, so now we'll see how one does there. It's my B-day on the 15th, So Fuck it, for my first B-day with M.S. I'll buy myself the bulb and 150W Pulse Start Ballast Kit.
See above
and I can't wait to see it.
As you can see from my A Medicinal Refridgerator I had a Loop really fuck me up. I hope you can get your hands on one too.Thanks for bringing it up, so I thought " Hey, can mine be converted?"

Still can't believe I never even checked that "MH" Ballast
Yeah well I got a 150w from htg supply with the grounded magnetic ballast (the one that sits outside the grow room, at least outside mine) so really you don't think there would be too much difference for the 150 and 400? Or is that just overkill for that space?
A 400 in a 2x2 space would not be overkill. It would be a grow monster. At least some really tight fat buds. And I bet you would be surprised at the heat difference from a 150 bulb vs a 400. A little 130cfm dayton blower, can be found for under 40 bucks if you shop around, would be more than ample to move the air needed to keep that space cool. I am assuming the ambient temperature of the room your closets in can be kept under 80. Or your 'lung room' if you will.
Well https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/5986/BS-MH0150MT.html is on it's way.
Yeah well one of the reasons temp is an issue is because I don't have proper ventilation. It is a closet with no door on it and an oscilating fan inside for circulation. I wouldn't have prefered to do it this way but it was my first grow so live and learn. I can put the door back on (which I plan to do) and cut a hole, insert fan, etc. but I just don't want ducting going all throughout my surrounding room.
NL #5 is an actual strain, tilda was a NL Special and my next grow will be the strain that kicked this shit off many moons ago NL #1, and after that gonna cross NL #1 to NL special
I think the NL#'s were different pheno's he had. Kinda like if you put in 15 beans and labeled them NL1, NL2 and so on. I remember his favorite was #5, but the missing, could have been males??? didn't make it or he didn't like them?? I read that story somewhere, maybe one of the bud books or cannabibles or hundreds of magazines I have in a drawer.
Thanks for the update on your friends drowning victim. About ready to give homicide another go myself. And how could you ever go wrong with NL. Its the backbone of the buzz community.also got a sample of my buddies drowned pot, drowned for 10 days, dried, in jars for nine days taste and smokes great as if it had been in the jars for a month, gotta say I was impressed
also got a sample of purple dragon (different friend) was not impressed, looked great but the high was not all that
and yet another sample of G-13 which was ok, great look, kinda upper midshelf high
must admit my northern lights has me spoiled
