Reliable HPS and Metal Hylide equipment?

Tolerance Break · Saturday at 3:28 PM

I'm refining my methods for winter grows. I dont want to do anymore LED + an oil radiator if I dont need to.

I'm wondering who's making quality ballasts and hoods these days? I have some old hardware in my garage, but it hasn't been touched in 5 years, and Id like to have backup bulbs and ballasts for contingency. Plus, I have no clue how to troubleshoot as I've never ran a non LED grow. Just worked in one.

I just bought a Hortilux 1000w HPS Bulb, Ballast, and Reflector, off of Amazon a bit over 2 months ago, and they worked flawlessly.

I wanted one of those huge Hydrofarm 8in XXL Raptor reflectors, but they dont make them anymore. I found a used one, but they wouldnt send to Kentucky.

I vegged under a 1000w MassMedicalStrins 1000w 6000k Halide. Flowering under 1000w Hortilux HPS.
That Ballast will run HPS/Halide, and is dimmable.
Not recommended to dim Halide.
