[h=2]Re: My Jd 600w ballast review, and grow.#2[/h]
JD light ballast is the shits, been hot the last 3 days.Temp was at 87f at the heat of the day, had it at 75%, drooped it to 50% temp drooped to 84f.Nice having a mh, hps, all in one, plus I can veg or flower at 300w, then blast them with 610w in flower.
I was going to get a hortilux bulb $75, and read the High times digital ballast bulb report, and they talked to hortilux, and they said not to use a digital ballast with them??????WOW.aND THE BULBS THEY WANT YOU TO USE IS A PLANTMAGNEM?iTHINK for digital.
Well if this is true then I'll just use Interlux bulbs $35.I used that brand bulb on my last grow, with great success, and are for digital ballast too.

Got 5 mango clones in flower and one tangerine dream.Will be switching to hps soon on the JD ballastView attachment 2181272 the othere mongo is not in the pic.
Lately I've been using fox farm grow with tiger bloom, and well pics speak for them self's.Also went back to earthgro, and perlite.That mix has been working good lately too.
Just sprayed my plants too with neem oil, to help get rid of mites.That stuff work way better then pepper spray to me.

[h=2]Re: My JD Lightings 600w Ballast Grow Journal and Review #2[/h]
Well I was in my flower room and checking my plants, when I looked at the JD ballast and felted it, and was very, very surprise that the JD Light ballast was very cool to the touch vs my 400 mh magnetic ballast which gets petty hot to the touch.I even had to look at the dimmer switch to make sure I had it at 100% output!
Was going to switch out the mh bulb, but going to leave it in for one more week.Plants are doing great.
Now for my clones.Wow what a learning experience on clones.I dont know what I did wrong, but they don't look to healthy
I think it had to do with my 400 mh in my clone room--now mother room.It was heat or two much water in the dome, because I seen some clones roots turning brown.So not excess water sitting in trays!!!
my other plants are doing great!So far earth grow soil with more pelite, is really working out for me now, with fox farms nutes.

I'm, also doing so more clones, and moved them under my bathroom sink in my bedroom with a 20w cfl light.
I just looked at them under the sink, and wow there so much happier in there, also the temp stays at 78f no more no less vs the 7 to 10 degrees, drop or rise spike they got in the mother room.

Well some update pics, man all I can say about my 600w JD light ballast is it doesn't break a sweat!I can put my hand on it, and feels cool to the touch. View attachment 2186597
Plants are doing good.Two need water but light was about to go out.
View attachment 2186599
love how my plants can touch the hood glass and not get burned, like with my 1000w.
Mother plants are getting big, need to do some more cloning, when the others have popped roots.
