700g wet, 150w HPS Harvest!

So I have a thread in the harvest section, but to all of you indoor growers out there, I grew 4 ladies under 1 150w HPS ($20 Econolight) with some side CFL's. This was my first grow and it was also all organic. I just harvested my 4 ladies to a combined WET weight of 700g. Here are some pics, keep it real!

wow beautiful purple. pretty nice wet weight too for 150w

Look good man, what strains, and how long did they take to flower?

All bagseed from some dank stuff, somehow I got 4 out of 4 females. They flowered for roughly 10 weeks.

inspiration to all that 150's can pack a punch and some danky bagseeds still produce high quality good looking nugs,nice purple on the buds...good job

awesome grow were didi you get the light from

Great results! I currently have 2x150's on 3 ladys from some bagseed for my 1st grow & if I get what you got, i'll be friggin thrilled! You just made me feel much better about my lil econo's

Nice!! You should get about 6 O'z when its all dried and cured

That's a great looking harvest. Enjoy

sweet i new there was a reason i purchased my 150 watter

Thanks guys/girls! Ya the econolight definitely paid itself off.

man, how hot is it? and how close can i put it to the plants! i want one bad, i want to remote the lamp, but im concerned that irt will be way hotter than my 6 26w cfls in a small space, let me know

It was not hot at all, and the econolight takes 5 minutes to remote ballast. I kept the light about 6 inches from the plants, and if you cooltube you can put it even closer.

damn, im buying one...lol it will be better than 6 26 cfls right?

For sure, 6 26w CFL's put out 1600 lumens a piece (or at least mine did), 26wx6=156w, 6x1600=9600 lumens. The econolight is 150w and puts out 15000 lumens.

your "6 cfl's" are definitely generating more overall heat than that 1 150w hps. Put a fan on it & no heat issues 4-6" from plant tops.

Actually with a fan on the bulb you can get all the way to 2" but I like 3".

Everything said about the heat being less and etc is correct. There is ZERO reason to do cfl's with this $20 light being so cheap and throwing so many lumens with so little heat. No excuses...

The Econolight is 100x better than CFL's for flowering, but I will use CFL's again for vegging, they worked great.

can you show a picture of your set up?

thanks

were can i find this light at???
