hows your guys system's look? has anyone built there own box for those DIY ballast kits
i have a galaxy digital ballast and a standard 250 hps, personally i dont think those bulbs iv seen "enhacend spectrum" some for 150 bux or more to be worth that in what is produced in the end, the output isnt that much more and that initial lumen rating is only good for so many hours, standard bulbs seem to hold there initial lumen rating longer
i havent looked into it much, i could be wrong...if you think i am, prove me wrong if you have some facts cuz im intrrested

im just going off of lumens.. when it comes to spectrum im not trippin most HPS bulbs are in the same spectrum and it not all that great. supposly CFL's are in a better Spectrum from what i read.. but im going for lumens 35,000 lumens seems alot better than 27,000. just my opinion.and for as keeping those intial lumens im sure falling from 35,000 sooner.. instead of 27,000 over time isnt that bad unless you paid for it haha only my opinion..]\
dont hate
i would never pay over $50 bux for a bulb i actually got my Agromax free..
but whatever..
i would actaully like to see some graphs or facts that prove that those enhanced bulbs lose lumens.. never heard of this...you should show me..
where do you get your info??

Damn Folks.Just hooked up my new Lumatek ballast and sunlight supply reflector.Damn if it is not brighter in my grow tent than it was ever before.Full bulb output in around 30 seconds.
craigslist is great but its a time game, its all about waiting for the perfect offer at a good price, i wanted a new system anyways, i did find some listing for boxes of bulbs like 10 bulbs 400 bux, thats 40 bux a bulb, in the hydro store they are 100, Eye Hortilux Enhanced HPS

im pickin up a 250w hps from craigslist next week and i have some questions.
How many plants would this be enough for?
Would i be able to have a continuous harvest if i kept the room on 12/12 and took one clone from each female i got so it would be like a sea of green method?
How far away should i keep the light from the top of the plants?
If i think of more i'll ask. thats all for now
All help is appreciated, thank you!
