Digital 600w HPS
before that i had the magnetic ballast version- had that a while
before that i had a 175w mercury. Bloody expensive to run and the ballast hummed like a mofo
and it was shite. OK for veg but shite for flower.This was back in the days before growshops and internet
Still have it somewhere. Must pull out the magnets for the young lad and before that i had 2x70 watt MH
well at least i was told they were MH but the more i think of it they were prob just Halogen.
No wonder they were shite

They are talking about the 2010/2011 model i have the 2012 flowering model it has improvments from the older versions, i wouldent need to change the fans or heatsink cause they arent loud and they dont get hot so no point in fucking with them

evening fellas...
no magnifying glass, every shop i went into looked at me like i was robbing them, found standard ones but there useless..
theres grants and i`ve put in for one, but the way they work is you pay then they pay you back when work done and reciept in hand for it, with the kids its a serious thing, and for anyone that suspects go to radon survey ireland and they`ll send you test kits to hang on wall for few months then send them back by post and they tell you the readings, they have a map of hotspots on the site...

How much do they charge for sending the kit and doing a reading ae? so what do they do to the house to stop the radon levels?
My area has a very low radon it says less than 1%

test kits are (were free).. to lower the levels we had to have channels built under the house and pipes fitted into them, this is connected to two suction pumps at either side of the house, the new system will instead of trying to suck the gas out it will blow fresh air under the house....
trouble with either system is we have raised floors on one side of the house and solid floors the other so it will throw off either one they use..
its a quagmire this gaff...

Very bad am afraid mate all the fan leaves and big leaves have burned off and the only ones remaining are the little leaves on the buds, and they arent growing at a quick rate so its gonna be my worst harvest to date i think but lessons have been well and truly learned

i have had better results cutting back on the nutes in my second grow than my first when i was throwing everything at them 86. im sure if you cut back on the flowering nutes for a couple of waterings and just give them something like superthrive they will pull through. they still have a lot of green in them.
sorry to hear that kang good luck with the grow next time around. learning where you went wrong will pay huge dividends next time around.
im just watching gold rush series 2, bleeding deadly show, that prick frank who stole the hoffmans claim is having lots of bad luck. karmas a bitch, anyone else watch it?

Unless it improves like a miracle i dont see it producing more than a quarter, i hope am very wrong but i dont think so as theres no leaves to catch the light and it dident enjoy getting its leaves all burned off, it was close to death
