150w HPS Club: Inspirational Resource

KawiZZR · May 24, 2011

Max size is probably around 30"x30" and whatever height you decide, but probably no less than 30" is ideal. They work best with lst, scrog or sog, basically anything that will keep the plants low and even.

Weird seedling? wtf?!

ok so here's the plan for the next 150w setup...
1 x 150w HPS (originally from Lowes) that has been converted to remote ballast gear(refer to my post in DIY or very early on in this thread for remoting procedure) - with pc fan blower to cool the ballast - HPS will be hung vertically in DIY glass shroud/cool tube...not sure whether ima use the bake-a-round i have, or i may use 4mm glass and allow ample space around the bulb so as not to stress the glass during use(its fine so long as you have sufficient cooling and ample space)
1 x plastic barrel with sealable snap ring lid (850mm x 480mm)
1 x 120mm 12v exhaust fan driven by 12v variable resistor transformer (3-12v ac/dc) Fan to be mounted inside the barrel at the bottom of cooltube setup, blowing up and out of lid through diy scrubber.
1 x DIY automobile bulkhead steering shaft grommet wrapped with carbon oven hood filter for inlet mounted on bottom section of barrel for inlet.
1 x DIY exhaust scrubber mounted to 120mm fan outlet in lid,made again with oven hood carbon filter(smell is not too much of an issue for me,but any minimization is a bonus)
The barrel has been painted FLAT white inside(drying as i type)
The strain is to be a freshly imported UK Cheese clone

thx buddy, youo know who ya are if yer reading this)..Itll be topped several times during its brief veg time(poss only 3wks)
It will be a 1.5 gal hempy bucket grow using ionics grow/bloom nutes and ionics boost in final phase.
Hempy buckets for the uninitiated are a LO-FI static hydro, consisting of a bucket filled with perlite/vermiculte 1:1 ratio, 5mm hole drilled 3" up on the side of bucket, which acts as your Reservoir, the rest of the bucket whilst absorbing moisture also allows mega amounts of air to the upper roots, whilst the lower rootball section sits in the water/nute mix and drinks what it wants when it wants... works like a charm, yields well, and is soo simple you wouldnt believe.

This is to be my last indoor grow sooooooo i hope it goes smoothly....although i do have a guerilla planned for this yrs season...

wish me luck n i'll post pics of the barrel build as i do it next wkend

later yall

doing a vertical barrel grow? Sick dude, sounds amazing. Never thought of that. Im currently looking for a place to make a prototype of a vertical 150w setup ventilated with smalll ventilation tubes and a isolated cool tube. Its going to be wide and squat and im gana mount a functional speaker in the front. Cant wait.

Looking foward to some pics frosty, ik your a crafty mofo

woa its a mutant, definatly a keeper. Mayber it has a mutated thc gene that is like 50% thc and you become the sole person of the mother of a 50% thc plant. You could sell the clones for atleast 10 000 dollars and retire at the age of 30. Nice dude good luck.

Is this too small of a space for an 150 watt hps? Dimensions are 25-3/4" L x 19" W x 35-3/4" H. The exhaust fan cfm is 110, and the intake is at 72 cfm. I'd like to get this and be able to grow at least two in this space, and I'm wondering if it would get to hot in there. Also I have an feliz 250 watt cfl, would this be a downgrade, or an upgrade to the hps? I see the hps lumens are usually rated at 16,000 lumens, almost the same to the feliz 250 watt cfl which is rated at 15,000.

Or do you think I could actually use a 250 watt hps?

irieie · Jun 4, 2011

that space is very short. heat will build up pretty fast and you wont have that much actual grow height for the plants once you got the light and pots in there. if you have more height then i would use both of the lights or a 250.

Well the cfm is rated pretty high on the fan, and I was gonna lst it, and flower it after 3 weeks of vegging anyways, I'm not trying to let it grow too high. So you think I could pull off a 150 watt hps with a separate ballast and keep that out of my cab, so the temps are not too high?

I'm pretty sure we are using the same cab, I'm actually gonna fit 3, but 2 will fit comfortably and probably be better in the long run.

Mechanical · Jun 9, 2011

Thought id go ahead and throw my box in there. 150w hps and 156 watts of 2700k and 6500k side/extra/veg lighting. I was going to make it look like a 6 drawer dresser with fake drawers and stained but i dont need that amount of stealth for my current situation. You still cant tell what it is standing right in front of it and its in the laundry room with the exhaust pumped up the dryer vent. These are my two 23 day old northern light x skunk plants. First grow.

danschwo · Jun 13, 2011

hi guys hope you all are well ...
new to this forum so all help is much appreciated

under a 150w HPS in a small wardrobe something like 2x3x5 i'm gonna keep the plants small prob about 2-3ft as it is only a 150w. anyway here are a few pics 3 days after sprouting . happy smoking!!!! :eyesmoke:

thashyt · Jun 13, 2011

Alright here's the plan I have 4 4ft t12 fixtures with 8 bulbs. The bulb specs are 3150 lumens and 4100k color temp. I am building a custom box for these with Reflective Mylar Sheets. My question is will that be enough lighting or should I add another fixture? I also have 4 green bulb cover and 4 red.

KawiZZR · Jun 17, 2011

Here's my current setup, 8 plants in veg currently, no idea on sex yet. Last grow w/ the 150 I got over 2 oz from one plant. Hoping to get 4 females and at least 4 oz dry at the end. Probably another week or two of veg then throwing them into flower.
