150w HPS Club: Inspirational Resource

Mine were stinky the entire time, btw, just harvested.

Lol, right on, but while they were young, and i mean stinky like fresh bud stinky. Dont be shy now, post some pics.

I only had females, 4 outta 4, so ya all stinky,

Dude *high five*.. Alright, you raised my hopes.

Thats gotta be like 4 - 6 zips man, good job.

I am pretty fond of it, i dont get how no one thought to make one long before, but hey its on now.

I feel ya man. I'm shopping around now for one. Me and the bride loves our toke. Goal is one day, to be able to grow some good toke man. I can't wait!!

how much you looking to spend?

J/s cause i have an extra maby. ill give you a pretty good deal, it just needs a ballast box. i can make on for ya too... inless your looking to get a sexy set up with the whole 9 yards... pm me if interested,

Where can I find a 150W bulb with internal ballast that is ready to be plugged into a timer and put in my grow box? Can someone help me out deciding? Willing to spend up to fifty (but preferably cheap).

one word for ya, EBAY, dont know about 50 though, good luck with that. Any light can plug into a timer. i might have one for ya for 60 if this other dude doesnt pm me back by tomorrow.

Ya man ace. The closer the better, but id say thats good, i heard that its good for up to 12 inches are something very close to that and anything past that is 'useless'. Something to keep in mind. a computer fan right under it would do wonders.

Econ is the used and replaced ballasts right?

i have a ? i have a 150w hps light with a s55 ballast. i also just got another 150w hps with a s55 ballast but this one the socket is bigger and the bulb is bigger. even the filament is alittle longer inside the bulb. will this light cover more area?? is it the same?? what's the difference if any??

i think it all depends on if the lumens are higher or not.. which is dependent on the bulb... i would say that its prob the same

ya i agree

Looks like ill be joining the club boys!

Just ordered a 150w HPS from HTG. Once i finish with these 3 clones i have going now (looks like ones gonna die) im gonna throw about 6 Lowryders under the new lamp! Cant wait!

Also, i have a 4" Vortex fan hooked up to a scrubber, with that, and a small osculating fan pointing towards the bulb, do you think it will be enough to keep the temps down? Thanks!

ive been monitoring my grow since i got my 150W HPS setup this afternoon... so far the temps have went up to 82.. nothing higher... here is my setup... only im keeping the door closed

EDIT: im actually going to get a small scrubber and a smaller ocilating wall fan to point at my lights... might get another light in there soon
