Dont be fooled by the pix weve already discussed that pic angles truly didnt bring out the true nature of the original meaning of the thread..

Go to page one...

Highest yielding dried bud grown by hps wieghed in at 22 grams dry......

The other 6 grams for cfls wooooo there are too many people that dont understand but i will fight this fight alone if i have to.

Look if ur growing with cfls and having good results than go with that i did for a long time..

If u want better results then get one of these cheap hps lamps...

will fix my post as soon as i see a 42 watt hps . i think you realized you were wrong and dont want to retype you whole little thread correcting yourself. so yes if anyone can show me a 42watt hps i will admit you are the grow king and call myself a butthead in all of these posts . like i said i just want to grow and have fun not argue but on the web i can find anything...just not a 42 watt high pressure sodium.

sorry but truth hurts good luck with your grows all.

that is not nessacery just tell me the company that makes it or the bulb or the model
# like i said dude i admire your grow and give you mad props i just know commercial lighting im a contractor. i guess they made up a new size of hps since i last went to the supply house , i pick up ballasts and caps all the time. my main reason for not believing is just a trust issue i have with the internet , the other reason is because i cant find one anywhere . if my depot was still open i would have already went and got some haha so ,like i said just shoot me the pics or the company and model or something and no harm no foul .

ps never trust anything that isnt tangeble it just doesnt make sense thats how you get burnt like i have before.

thanks for giving me something to do over the last hour i will talk to you soon !

No problem bro honestly no harm meant... I can remember helping my pops out in field doing electrical work and before he became an engineer.... This stuff is all very complex... Yea Its made by lithonia lighting bro... But ive also checked there site and cant remember finding it there either but didnt try so hard..
It does exhist brothat and has done me alot of good in my flower room..
I think i may have taken pix of the box it came in and posted them in this thread actually or maybe it was a different one haha

Bro i respect ur stuff as well... We are all here trying to achieve the same goals...
If i can help i will.

Dont weary bout that other stuff man just a simple misunderstanding bro smoke on.

Ill have pix soon...But its not the point... The point is they reside at home depot in the home security isle and they are very easy to put together to supplement flower rooms with cfls.. And they are only 22 bux i swear..

Anyways.. Hit HD bro.. If i still need to put pix up let me know thats all i have to say on it..
Wink is cool ive seen him around and respect his knowledge... But lithonia lighting does produce these fixtures and they are sold readily at home depot sorry man. But ive searched google, the web and everything i could think of to find the fixture. Maybe its a secret.

Yea I was thinking that maybe only some stores or areas may even carry them....
All mine in my surrounding areas do..
Thats pretty crazy man.. Never thought of that.
Maybe they will all start carrying them if they are mentioned enuff.
