seems like HTG is shut down for the time being, and was wondering if there were any alternatives for a 250 watt magnetic ballast light kit HPS. HTG has their own going for around 117, complete with the ballast, reflector and bulb. Are there any other sites that can compete with this? Or...

Was lookin around for a pretty cheap package for 250 hps system. It seems stupid to get one at HTG, because they only have magnetic ones of their brand, and their 250 watt is same price as their 400 watt. The lumatek and other digitals are pretty expensive too. HIDhut would be perfect if...

Is there a reason HIDhut doesn't make 250 watt ballast systems? I see 150 to 1000, and all the in between, except 250. I'm really in the market for a 250 and they seem to have great prices, especially since they're digital. :(

So i read that the digital ballasts run cooler, use less energy to run, and are quieter. Also, they can switch between HPS and MH bulbs and you can control the intensity of the light by switching bulb wattages. ex. a 400 watt ballast can use any wattage bulb up to 400. I am more...

I was wondering if you could use like a 250 watt bulb on a 400 watt HPS ballast. And if you do, does the ballast only use 250 watts of power, or will it still suck up 400 watts of power and use the remaining 150 watts of extra power as heat production? thanks.

I read in the FAQ about the DYI conversion of a security light to a grow light. He said you would need to take out the motion sensor because most security lights have motion sensors or wtv. I saw in Home depot the other day a HPS security light that had no motion sensor. Does this mean i can...

why do people use like a 150 watt CFL that costs around 70 bucks and puts out around 8500 lumens, when they can spend like 40 bucks on 4 42 watt cfls and get 10,000 lumens? Larger CFLs dont' seem to be too cost effective. Is there any added benefit to them?

What's it mean when all the fan leaves have fallen off, but it's still only like week 8 of 12/12? basically none of the trichs are amber yet, and the pistils are still 99 percent white.

I was wondering if there's any point in using molasses with synthetic fertilizers, aka non organic. Molasses are used to feed the microherd, or microbes that are beneficial tot he plant, but synthethic fertilizers kill those very same microbes, or so i heard. So, i'm not sure if using molasses...

Which strain has the most heat tolerance and will be forgiving in the heat aspect?

Are you supposed to top dwarfs or lowryder plants? Just wondering, because the seed to harvest period seems to be around 8 weeks. Doesn't seem like enough time to LST in depth.

Lookin for some dwarf strains, and was wondering which walk-in seedbanks in toronto carried any?

any seedbanks you can walk into and view a selection and buy in Toronto, CA? plan on visiting sometime.

Was just curious to know how long before you have to move the males out? How long into flowering will they begin to release pollen? I"m just worried because there's a fan in there, and i'm afraid the fan blowing on them will cause the pollen sacs to open. The reason i don't just kill em...

What happens when u tie the string too tight, and it actually cuts into the plant. The branch isn't actually like snapped off, but it dug in maybe halfway into the branch? i can't get the string untied from the plant without snapping the branch off, so i just snipped the ends off, and the...

I'm just a bit confused. Can someone explain to me how a 250 watt CFl system, something like ten 25 watt CFL bulbs, uses less electricity than a 250 watt HPS system? I see all the faqs and threads saying that CFLs are more energy efficient. But if you're using 250 watts, isn't it the same...

I read that you need to use sterilized soil or else you'll have parasites. I do not want to do the whole oven cooking method as my house will stink like crap. So i went to the local home depot/ lowes and asked which soils were sterilized. They all gave me blank looks. So, i'm asking which...

Is there a way to control odor without ventilation? If i grow, i will need to grow in a portable closet, and won't be able to keep it open for everyone to see. I plan on using fans on the inside to at least create some circulation. What are some ways to control odor without having a...

Hey guys, i just want to know if someone could provide me with a link of where to buy light fixtures for CFLs. I just want to simply connect the bulb, via wire to the outlet. Nothing else. I want to be able to just hang these so that i can adjust them easily. Idk what these simple...
