150w HPS Club: Inspirational Resource

im going to have to join the club fellas. im running a 150..and im getting another one for a couple of mothers. hell ya 150w rules!

Frosty- funny you say thats pretty much how its playing out. Except the skidow seems to be doing the best, the BAts are growing long and lenghty, still broad leafs ,but 2.5 inch skiny stems like so ll. I even ripped one half way out last night! replanted it and gave it some coke water, and its now growing back upwards.

But there definatly lookin dark and healthy with healthy sized leaf sets now. im going to start giving em superthrive and fish emulsion, and i should probably get em in some better soil. Just do everything i can to kind of supplement for the light eh?[/QUOTE]

Hows it going Micro? How are the girls doing outside? Hope the search for a new place is going ok.

peace man

yeah i'm curious how my beans are performing too.

Ehhhhh.... shity to be honest. Ive lost about 5, one Skidow, and the rest ECSD. The bats are growing the best, there triple the mass of all the others. i even snaped one of the fuckers in half, and gave it a spling, and overnight it was standing upright on its own, vigorous little demons. I finaly have a set up inside and im putting them back on 24/7. Im not sure how there going to play out though, theyve switched light cycles like 5 times. haha, ahhh shit. So will see how it goes, hopefully i wont get any nasty hermies. I should have picks up soon, no wories. actually i could probably get some up tonight. along with my new box plans. stay posted.

so far im happy with my 150 but im only doing 1 plant i think next grow im gonna get a bigger light so i can do more plants i only did 1 this grow because its my first grow but here are some pics of my mini cola growing under my 150

looking reall healthy

Can somebody please tell me what lighting I need for 2 to 4 plants. Btw, the plants are autoflowering, which means they skip veg stage altogther. Ne advice would be appreciated.

Ehhh, hmmm.... nah dude, i think we should keep this 150w. for the sake of inspiring others of what to do with 150w. You could throw a pic out though to make all the 150wers feel more dominating than you. Or maby you can use it competitivly to show that you know your shit, and that 100w light is your bitch..

this is my 100w flowering room

At least im not an internet tough guy! ahahhahahahahahahaha

my diesol has 2 big yellow leaves but the hairs are going wild

lookin good timmy, just a couple under your light there or what? fill me in? please dont throw any more pics, i dont want people associate those to 150w, dont mean to be a stickler. Just want to keep this thread kind of a knowledge base for 150w.

Lookin mean though, how far away is your 100w light?

i have 9 total 4 that are 3 weeks into flowering 5 that are only one 3 days flowering
3-5 inches way

Alright guys got some questions...

I want to grow HID really bad. I've never grown before but I'm pretty sure I could do it. I have been setting up a Rubbermaid clamshell with two 38 gallon tubs. I was gonna go all CFL but I really want the higher lumens of an HID.

If I were to use a 150w HPS for the grow how far away from the plant tops should it be so as not to get burned?

Could it possibly melt the Rubbermaid?

Do any of you guys have a great link to a tutorial(pics included please) on how to re-wire a 150w security fixture to a grow fixture?

The dimensions on the box are 14"w x 22"l x 40"h.
Will this be enough room to grow 2-3 females with the 150wHPS in it?

as long as you have the hot air getting sucked out of your tent you can have it as close as a cfl. 3-5 inches

Budlightman, depending on your space available and inteneded setup You can grow autos using CFL energy saving light bulbs, Use the highest wattage you can find and try to get a mix of Daylight 6500k and warm white 2700k rated bulbs. that way you will have a more natural light spectrum. also bare in mind that you will need a min of 6-8 bulbs per plant for decent yield...Theres a bunch of threads on autos and theres a bunch of threads i've posted on for good results from autos..
just go to my profile and do the search users posts thingy.

Alternatively, you could grow using 150w HPS which are readily available at home depot and such, and will happily flower 2-4 autos.
Hps will require less wires n shit hanging around in your grow space, less plugs etc.. and will emit around 17000 lumens which is enough for the likes of Lowyder 2 and dieselryder etc...
You pretty much need to get a light, dismantle, dispose of the enclosure, retain the E40 type bulb holder, ballast and wiring etc, rig that up in your cab(make sure you have good connections,and no bare wires or anything to get zapped by.. etc for safety reasons) and setup an intake fan and exhaust fan with carbon scrubbers. and youre pretty much ready.
