Growin' chillies by the window....in scotland

well it is a misconception that having 8 lights that emit 10,000 lumens put together equal 80,000 lumens. each one emits 10,000 lumens and that is how many lumens are getting to the plant. increasing the amount of light only spreads the area that can be grown in.

Have you tried here Daz ? http://www.growmorehydroponics.co.uk/epages/es132723.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es132723/Categories/Plants

Scroll down to the bottem item on the link i provided , its got a complete set up , 600w , reflecter,bulb and ballast all for 119 quid , its less than i paid for 400w

what does that relate to us dollars

$179.32 today , looks like the dollar rallied a bit today.A week or two ago it would have equated to about $130.

damn i may get a few of those that is a good price

Its a UK site EP , i didnt realise you were there ?

ha def not, but i can still order from it right? had a look at the ballast. i dont like it lol. i would rather get a higher quality one. but no im in america sadly enough.

I would imagine so but then youll have the same problem Daz has with a step up/down transformer to adjust voltage.Plus the shipping will be whopping,i got the shipping note for my light and it says 35lbs weight.

Ive got a sneaky feeling i might get the lights tomorrow , i noticed hgs have a outlet in Pa so if its sent from there..maybe , its coming ups and i ordered a box of topps 2010 baseball cards from the suppliers and it came ups in 2 days from NY.

Meter users , what do you think of this one ?http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280519140830&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT


I see ones on ebay for a dollar too..pretty confusing.

soil ph meter are horrible. get a water ph meter. and ph the water before you water. make sure its a ph of 6.2-6.6

Ok..i thought because id be using soil this was the one , ill look at the hydro ones ..they are the water ones ? Sounds good.

get this one, its what i got, inexpensive and works really well

I found it on Ebay for a little less , apparantly theres various calibration solutions and cleaning solutions ill need to look into.Hopefully ill find a package deal with everything included.Im not swayed with the seller i found as its only a 30 day guarentee and theres all kinds of warnings , dont do this and dont do that and buy this solution and that solution and never let the probe dry out..with 30 days warrenty..dunno.Ill see if i can find another seller , i prefer using Ebay as i use paypal anyway , thanks EP.

it comes with a calibration solution. ya you can find it pretty cheap.

Yep , sorted , one more item off my list..i noticed the list has 5 gallon buckets or pots..why do i need those ? Its dumb question time , initially i thought ..oh yeah..to put the plants in..but in all the indoor pics nobody is using 5 gallon pots.

im using 5 gallon pots. the bigger the pot, the bigger the yield. you can get 5 gallon buckets at walmart in the paint section for like 2 bucks. they work really well

Cool , i seen my butchers was selling 5 gallon buckets for $1.50 in a corner of the shop , ill snag some.
