    Rusted Ballast - Still works, but is it safe?

    Hey all, A bud of mine has a 1000W hps ballast, and we were digging into it and saw that the ballast itself seems to have gathered a sight dash of rust. I know what rust and corrosion looks like and how it can do damage, but it does not look like the components or anything would be affected by...

    150W Hps Socket ?

    Hi all, I would consider myself moderately experienced in this field, yet I cannot figure this one out. Does a 150W hps, medium base, require a 5KV start rated socket? I know it cant be screwed into a regular light socket without a ballast, etc etc, so thinking past that... Needing to mount a...

    250W HPS vs 400W MH

    Hey all! So there are these two fixtures, already owned, but I am wondering which one would be better? I am fairly experienced, yet this one racks my brain constantly. I have always been afraid of using the MH because of no glass below it in the reflector. Does anybody use bare bulb - no...

    1000W Hps Lowryder Idea/Help

    Hey all, I have searched and searched and cannot find a lot about 1kw grows. If one could get an area that is quite large, with nice ambient temps of 60-70, why would it not be possible to simply hang a 1000W hps over a 4ft x 4ft area of 16 - 5gallon buckets? Using fans in the room to...

    50w Hps

    Hey everyone... If you had a 50W hps, what size of an area could you productively flower some decent nugs? I think there is a cabinet that is around 12"x12"x24" So about a square foot of canopy area. Would that light suffice for one or two small potted clones? What would be the best...

    1000W hps

    Is there anybody who uses a 1000W hps setup? Is there anybody interested in a 1000W hps remote ballast (fully functional)? I have seen these bulbs running and the heat is insane. It seems it would take quite the setup to operate something of this sort. Some task I would not like to take on...
