Here's my custom 2x 150W HPS reflector made from a PC side panel. I bought RAB security lights from Home Depot and just detached the bulb from the rest of the case and re-wired it.

My tools

Thanks brother. I also use another 150W HPS in conjunction with 3x 27W Daylight CFL in my veg box. I'll get some pics up of that setup later.

I'm growing in a suncast utility closet, I started with one 150 watt HPS but I added another at 30 days into flower. I also have three 26 watt cfls (1/6500 & 2/2700) for under lighting. I currently have 2 plants on their 61st day of flower. I started with 6 plants 3 were female and 1 female hermied on me like a week and a half ago. I started in 6" pots and now their in 2 gallon pots. I use miracle grow soil for flowers and fruits, and use Better Grow Nutrients for flowering. The plants are from bagseed, but so far I'm very pleased. I'm going to invest in better soil and nutrients on the next grow.

Not sure what people average, I only get a few ounces here and there but I never had a setup as good as my current one. I like the 150s, but if I had to start over I think I'd get a 400W digital ballast and use the 150 for veg with some CFL.

sounds like you want to grow for more than yourself so just get a bigger light, at least a 400 watt.

a 150 is great for small scale personal grows but for the weight you want to move, you need more lumens.

Well hello everyone this is my first post and first grow. Ive got a 150 watt hps in closet atm and was wondering what other growers out there thought of my set up. My plant is planted in foxfarm soil and thrives in about 80 to 85 degrees and I think ive dont fairly well with it. I just started it on a botanicare pureblend grow but kinda having trouble with ph and in my location the closest hydro store is like 2 hrs. plus money is kinda a issue. Well back to my plant i think all is well once i figure out how im gunna bring up the ph a little. As far as next things id like to buy are of course some ph up and ph down but after that id like to get a next gen 600 watter so we will see if im smiled down upon in this next month. well let me know what you guys think heres some pics and any advice or questions id love to answer thanks!!
