lol yeah that was on drinko de mayo...but basically he convinced me to take apart my buddies 277v transformer and rewire it :P

I am on day 31 of flowering, and I switched from a 400W MH to 1000W HPS 3 days ago. I had some heat issues the first day, but got them fixed. After a nice feeding and a couple hours of light, they are looking healthier again, but the fan leaves are still a little droopy. I heard that in the last...

that thing looks awesome man! way to git r done!

Wow, what a way to finish reading this long ass thread...I just started crying...

Post #24 has a pic of his nutes in there

They definitely are! I'll upload some pics tonight!

YESSSSS! Can't wait to see em start their flower!

You're the man I'm so happy right now lol

KUDOS KUDOS KUDOS KUDOS KUDOS!!!!!! After a solid few hours of enjoyment of my drinko de mayo, my buddy brought that ballast over, and we got it wired up and functioning! Thank you SO much for telling me to check that out! What a payoff! My babies are freaking out right about now! Thanks again!

Fuckin A man, if you're right that would be so legit. He just bought another ballast, and one for my 1000W is too expensive for my broke ass. Could be primo timing for the last few weeks of my flower :P . I just texted him lol

That's a good idea, I thought about that, but it doesn't seem very practical for a company to make the transformer multitap instead of just wiring it to the rating they put on the box. My buddy ended up hunting down the correct ballast on craigslist and is going to break even anyways. Good...

TOO CUTE! lol...and the reason women don't keep trophies is pretty obvious...not enough wall space...:P Her phones off bro, we're close to the beginning of the month. Maybe she had a hard time payin rent and her phone bill...

Depending on the dimensions of the flowering section, you are going to want about 50W/sqft. You could also look into using MH or CFL lamps for your veg/clone sections. Also, I am only on my first grow, but I've found using Hydroton as my medium to be VERY clean and easy p.s. still laughing...

lol the things you learn at Holiday... Also, thank you for the clarification. I got the ballast that I'm running my MH on from a lamp post from an old local baseball field and rewired it about a year and a half ago. I checked it out last night, and it does in fact have a multitap transformer...

haha good question. I'm certified for residential electrical not commercial, hence my confusion...

yeah ur right I figured someone would say that lol. 5-0 in the house! :P

My buddy just picked up a 277V ballast, and is curious as to how to make it work in his garage. Is there any easy way to rewire his ballast or something to make it work? If I were to just rewire the plug to a 120 plug, would it blow up? lol

Where are you located? I am an electrician, and would love to help you out with your electrical.

Thanks man.

Lookin nice!
