Yes 2 hydrofarm ballasts. I don't have a receipt and the normal grow shop guy quit. Looks like I'll have to buy the next one when its needed. I still have one light going now for veg. I'd like to get a se-450 in there instead and put a pro9 in the middle of my 2 450's now

I suppose it would be safe to say the se 250 would do what I have in mind & do it well especially if I put it all in a 3x3 grow tent my growroom is in an outside workshop along the north wall I have a small electric heater with an adjustable thermostat I used it in my old room (4x3) in the winter I'm in the California gold country about 1200 ft. elev. winter is not severe but that tent would give me a smaller area to heat right now my room overall is 4x6 I have room for 2 of those 3x3's

I'm so jealous of the pro9 users. Big time! I was talking to hybrid earlier. My plan is to take one 450 and bring it into my veg room and toss my cmh. Then put a pro9 in the middle of my other 2 450's. Jack the bitch to the ceiling and have its footprint over flow on to the 2 trays beside the middle one. Can't see the third 450 but that's what I'm working with.

Yea dude I'm starting to think it might be a little too much fir my gorilla tent I got it over 12 ebb buckets in a 5x5 section jacked all the way up

I'd go with 2 se-450's and use the 4x6 room. It's overkill but you'll never have to question your lighting again. 5 year bumper to bumper warranty and in my eyes one of the best lights available. Besides the pro9 lol. Check out the threads on Autoflower.net he is also offering a discount for members.
I know a lot of guys don't sell this stuff but my first Amare run I could have paid for 12 se-450's at face value after expenses in 80 day seed to chop autos. Meanwhile I was vegging a smaller run at the halfway point and made enough to buy 8 more. I didn't buy 20 lights but you get the point. I feel relieved that I don't have to worry about lighting anymore.

It could be the strain. Another subject hybrid and I talked about today. My hbbs are sensitive little bitches. All these auto growers are used to Mars hydro and I think the plants are scared. Yours could be too. Give it time. It's your first grow under it and believe it or not it takes time to get used to.

That's good news man. I hate to see people struggle. I have been doing it for the last 3 months and know it blows big time. It's a little late but what about changing nutes?

I was running veg/bloom and I changed it using flora 3part last night and they seemed to purk up already. Only thing I don't like about flora is the salt. I'm running it on my flood table and like it but it's leaving a thick ass dry layer on the table that looks like sand

@Hybridway my only goal is to get you to drop some autos. I'll even buy the seeds. If I pull 5lbs in 80 days and 10lbs in 120 days with the perpetual veg going on in the next room You have to do a full auto journal. With the title thanks big smo. 
Wadda u say Paesano?
Day 15 since they broke the surface.

I guess I'm about to start buying parts here and there. I'll go cob but probably still have a t5 tube or two with them.
Good looking, clean and professional grow and room.

I think we are pulling 3 harvests to his one. I messed with photos earlier before I went on my own. 2 of my good friends were growers and they needed help. I was more of a bitch than partner. Learned a lot but never really was hands on making decisions. The yields were great but the time it took didn't seem to pay off like autos do. For me atleast. This is only my 5th solo grow. Third one under Amare. My first was Mars hydro and my second was Mars, kind and hps. All decent yields but lighting disasters.Looking good bro! Yeah hybrid needs to run some auto's I'll donate to that cause as well

This Blue cheese was my second run ever, never worked under anyone. I've had HH Pro Gro LED, Tasty, T5's, 315 CMH, Spectrum King, and 600w MH this last one. Gonna shake some shit up soon and we will see what's what. Well at the very least I will for my needs.
