I had some atlas board left over from a project. It's a reflective insulated vapor barrier and goes for almost $20 a sheet. I built a 2' x 2' x 30" cabinet from it and put a 150W HPS to start plants in before putting them into the vegetation room. Right now it's about 110* F with four 4x6...
I just thought that a 33" photo reflector cost $7.50 and is designed to reflect as much light as possible evenly. I read somewhere that a 40w cfl will cover a square foot. You can find them for $7.50 a piece. E26 sockets cost around $10. You end up with a pretty clean set up for $60.
Has anybody tried using photography reflectors to direct light on their ladies? It would be cheaper than lamp reflectors and are designed to do the same thing.
I bought them today. I paid $40 for all 15 of them. They are 175W hps lights that run on 110. Some of them had bulbs in them and some didn't which is fine by me. The guy had them on his business but they were using too much electricity so he switched to more efficient lighting. I think it...
The ballast is in them. I don't know what wattage they are but there are 15 available. At $3.50 a light I don't know if I can pass on it. I've been thinking about starting a new indoor grow also... (evil giggle)
I just stumbled across a bunch of used hps parking lot security lights at a ridiculously cheap price. I'm pretty sure these would be great for growing but wanted a little input first. What do you guys think?
I was planning on mounting them all on a sheet of plywood so I can adjust the height right down on top of the plants. I have a discount at a local lumber yard so I can get the sockets and bulbs at a discount. I was just going to use more of them. :) Also, how many plants could I fit in a 3x6...
I'm thinking of using my crawl space for a grow room. I've done a closet grow before but this will be stealthier because there's no way anybody could ever see it. I'm thinking of building a 3x6 tent down there. I only have 4 feet of clearance though. I have grown in 5 gallon buckets in the...
I'm planning on doing a guerrilla grow in Wisconsin this year. I tried doing one in Pennsylvania when I lived there last summer but it didn't turn out well. I did save a few that turned out to be really good indoor plants but due to some circumstances (Watering system failure, Police Eviction...
I just went in for a job interview at a really good construction company. It went GREAT and I'm really excited! As I was about to leave the guy said "Give us some time to run a background check but expect a call in a couple days." Hell Yeah! But now I'm going to have to make an effort to...
I have this beautiful plant (Cindy) and she hermied on me. Now I don't really know what to do with her. I was just going to keep growing her and see what I ended up with but I left for a week and the auto watering system I built had an air bubble and vapor locked. She got a little dry. Now...
I started a outdoor grow this year and it didn't work out. I saved four of the plants and brought them in to my grow room and have had three of them under light (16/8) ever since. The last one died before I could get it planted. The remaining three were named Cindy, Jan, and Marcia. The...
