yessssssssssssss.... i was just talking about that with a friend.. im going to do away with the whole fixture, just get the ballast and other needed items and i was thinking exactly that.. just run them series and i can actually have 2 whole 750 watt fixtures.. easier to cool i imagineCool find. But I hope your spare room has 10-12 foot ceilings. Your right on the 4-5 ft. distance. We have a 1500 in the greenhouse with the bulb and reflector mounted at about 11 ft. I am 6 ft. tall and I cannot stand directly under very long without the top of my head getting hot as hell! Unbelievable heat emitted from these bulbs. Better get 2 airboat fans! LOL keep us updated! Also you know you could fire 2-750 watt bulbs with this ballast. It would make it much more usable in an indoor enviroment.
im thinking a month down the road is when you should expect a grow journal, this grow that i just started 4 days ago is my first.. (growing under t5's) so as soon as i get this light set up i will start the journal. i dont think people wanna see my crappy 2 foot 4 bulb t5 grow in a closet. but i know 2x750watt hps lights in a 10 by 10 room with 20 plants will be something worth posting.^No doubt man, I wanna see the bud density that thing produces. Keep those plants around 3' tall, and even the popcorn buds should fill out pretty well. Use a little LST to spread open the foliage....*drools some more* Add some CO2....*drowns in drool*
thanks so much cowboy. and i will do that you can count on it. im going to put some pics up of this light tomorrow also just so you guys can see what i got hereOn standby Sour. If you dont mind drop me a PM when you start it up. Enjoy buddy!!!! And WELCOME to RIU.
your right, i will do that. ive taken pics so far so eventually the journal will be a complete seed to bud (if i make it!) haha^Do you plan on using a light mover? Two 750's won't cover that much are, about half. I've never seen a 750, but a 1000 is good for anout 5' x 5', so I can only assume that a 750 will be a little less than that.
At any rate,...you should still take pics every week, to show your veg progress. News guys like to watch veg, because it gives them an idea what to expect, should they happen to be using a setup similar to your's. Even if you don't start the journal til week 4, you could still post the veg pics, to show how the babies started out in life.lol
I would stake out a 8x8 or so area in the middle of the room. Even shorten the growroom ceiling 8-10 inches below the actual ceiling. Access from all sides for both tending and cooling. Maybe a few movable panel for directing light inside the area. Light it up!your right, i will do that. ive taken pics so far so eventually the journal will be a complete seed to bud (if i make it!) haha
as for the light mover, no i will not. if i have to i will just shrink the room size. I dont want to get that involved unless i truely need the item to succeed or if i do succeed and the movers would truely enlighten my yield.. for now i just have to get a grow under my belt.
Welders glasses would be cool.i got the master blaster 1500 going right now!!!!!!!! in a 8x4 aero ill tell you one theing if you can get the ocho!!!!!!!!!! magnumxxxl wear long sleeves when messing with the plants and wear sunglasses youll get welders flash from looking in to it!!!!!!!! its works for sog or scrog style!!!!!
well oddly enough the fixture does not say what spectrum the light emits, i would guess its very close to what a 600 or 1000 emits, i dont see why it would change? hps emits 2100k unless you get horticulture its 2050k..What light spectrum is the street light?
be careful dude, i think thats major state charges.oh god guy I got one of those in front of my house. I'm bouta have me one too
