may I ask which marshydro light your using? I was just on ebay seeing how good the prices are now. I run 2 1000 watt hps lights and the electrical bills are just ridiculous. getting sick of those and the vent fans running all the time.

Well I have been using the same HTG 1,000 watt HPS / MHS HID light / fixture / digital ballast X two kits ( 2 lights ) for about seven years and this past cycle I decided to try out something an old timer told me to try. This past cycle when it came time for flowering I set up two of these
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-SYLVANIA-Sun-Lamp-RSM-H-Ultraviolet-Sunlamp-275W-Lamp-USA/231328073990?_trksid=p2047675.c100010.m2109&_trkparms=aid=555012&algo=PW.MBE&ao=1&asc=25880&meid=2e6dc9c8148a4d7988101d087efc311c&pid=100010&prg=10819&rk=2&rkt=24&sd=111481112028
Accept mine only have 100 watt ultraviolet bulbs. I only ran them for to start for 4 hours. I had them set so they would be on in the later hours of the cycle so I wouldn't be in the room (got to wear eye protection when around these mofo's loll) and after about nine days all my plants started stretching towards these lights! I had to start rotating them around every few days and lower them with a 2 x 2 half ass bracket.
I ended up leaving them on for 6 hours a night and am designing a better system. That past cycles harvest was 30% more than any time before and it was the first time I've had indoor girls growing real thick very hard stems! I'm thinking the vitamin D that outdoor plants naturally get thickened up the stems making that nutrient flow highway from root to cola the auto bond! I told the old timer about what happened and he smiled and snickered "Wait until you see what happens when you add one of those newer red and blue LED grow light to your set up and you’re finishing with twice the crop". So that's what brought me to the mars hydro page.
One of those mars hydro lights centered in my room should give that spectrum change that's so important and from what I’ve heard they use very limited power and kick little to no heat. I'm going to try out a new jacks nutrient solution with half my room ( which is six five gallon DWC buckets ) and stick to the three part AN no PH worry system with the other 6 five gallon DWC buckets. After that cycle I'm going to see how adding one of those mars hydro lights to the room makes a difference so if you’re interested look out soon for pictures with a grow journal. Will be starting next cycle after first frost and I harvest the outdoor gals so keep an eye out!

Ok that's very interesting reading. I don't seem to be able to connect through the link you posted. Very interested in doubling my crop lol. I'll keep an eye open for your journal.Well I have been using the same HTG 1,000 watt HPS / MHS HID light / fixture / digital ballast X two kits ( 2 lights ) for about seven years and this past cycle I decided to try out something an old timer told me to try.

Ah sunlamps. I had heard of using these but the cost of running them put me off. Being a cheap bastard led me to leds lol

So today I notice that the Bulldog chronic plants are showing further signs of k deficiency. There is even a small amount of def on one of the pineapple chunk. The BC haven't really performed anywhere near as close to what I had hoped for. They have been very disappointing. The PC are outstanding plants. So much so that I have bought more seeds. The IB is starting to show signs of fattening but I had read it's a late bloomer so will have to wait and see how it does in the last couple of weeks.

Try that link or just lookup Vintage SYLVANIA Sun Lamp RSM/H Ultraviolet Sunlamp 275W Lamp - USA - in eBay USA. I don't know about how serious he was when he said double. He said that when I added the UV AND the LED that the two would double my crop harvest. Today I asked him a little more about it and he said that I only needed to run the UV lights for 3 hours before dark hours to have the effect. I did a little research because I had borrowed the ones I tried and was able to fine some energy star rated lamps that would have a very small effect on my power bill.
I was just hyped because when I had those running I had stretching for the first time in years. Who knows though I guess it could have been the new bulbs in the HID lights, not so sure. Just thought I would share it. And yes I will be starting a new grow journal. Going to throw a fresh coat of white paint in the room and put up some of those super cheap Wal-Mart emergency Mylar blankets! Like to keep it fresh in there.

Well, I pulled the trigger on the MH Reflector 600 watt. I am pretty excited to get in there and throw some autos under it in a bigger tent than I am currently running.

that's cool how much did it set you back altogether? I found an extra scope and was able to cover mt outdoor ladies with monster black garbage bags with 4 1 gallon milk jugs filled with the hottest water my sink would produce! I pulled the bag over the lady and tucked it under the jugs. We had a decent frost and they were totally unaffected! When I pulled off the bags and was draining the jugs the water in them was still kinda warm

That's really interesting man. The 600 watt MH Reflector was 311 altogether. I found a 4x4 gorilla grow tent for like 95 bucks on ebay so I just went ahead and decided to upgrade my whole shindig. I grow Autos so I don't need the kind of space you guys do, but this tent will quadruple my grow space. I average around 2oz a plant as a total noob but now that I'm getting better and switched to hydro I expect a lot more.

That’s awesome dude. Yeah I started out running 5 gallon DWC buckets instead of soil because it's just way easier for me to just be able to send the old used medium down the drain. If I had to re-use soil I would have had to buy a lot figuring it's been 5-6 years. I'm using the same DWC buckets I started with. I just modeled them and built them identical to the spider ones off eBay. I just built one extra bucket so I'm able to rotate all of them every so often and give them a good cleaning. Check them out man I've seen people put three plants in one bucket. You could fit 4 fat girls in that tent and once you got your nutrients dialed in you can literally watch them grow! Loll and if you’re going to grow auto's, and ever need help, ask a member in here named Loki. He grows plants as fast as and bigger than mine in soil. He advertises a help link for autos all the time to. I don't use them because I don't have access to a steady seed supply or I might.
