Listen, not to be an asshole, but WRONG! I had a dispute with people over there regarding a discount I felt I deserved but I do use their carbon filter along with one of their imitation can-fans which is like a third the price of an actual can fan on a bad day, and I have 8 AK-48, notoriously stanky, that I can hardly even smell when I'm in the room-- and that's with the fan barely on, like set so low on the fan-speed control that it is just barely pulling air from the filter. I just 100% disagree, perhaps you had a bad experience but I am having a very good one.

Then consider yourself lucky. i had the same experience as hemp but it was almost 2 years ago now. I had one for a 6" fan. forget the cfm rating but it was what they recommended and holy fuck my driveway stunk like a skunk the first day I got home after using that thing. I went with plantlightinghydroponics set up with the valuline fan and it was WAY better.

Well actually it just worked and that made it way better lol.

Thats a 53 Volt DC motor, not a 120 Volt A/C motor as you would need........
That 17 amp draw is on 12 volts dc, not 120 volt ac as you are assuming.

I found a great deal at harvest moon hydroponics store. They have a Carbon filter for 38$ + tax so like 41$. I know where I'm going to get a carbon filter if my DIY does not work well enough. Sorry this deal is for people who can get to harvest moon via vehicle. Pretty honest store, their lights are overpriced along with most of their ferts. The odd stuff that you need in a grow is at a good price.

My buddy is wanting to set up 4 light systems, he is getting great deals on everything but the ballasts... he fell in love with the Sunlight Supply Galaxy 1000w HPS/MH but I cant find it less than $320 with shipping...
Anyone know of a secret code or site I have missed :eyesmoke:
Thanks for the help as always

How about portable air conditioners? The ones that don't go in the window? I can't find one for >$250. Putting an AC in the window isn't an option- light leaks etc. It's gonna get hot as balls in the room this summer and we're just going into flowering with some Blue Cheese and Early Blueberry. Next round is already chillin' in the unattached veg room and will go in around late May/ early June, so... Any ideas guys?

Pretty sure you can get one at Home Depot for the same range, looked pretty cheap though. I found mine on craigslist, look soon though cause prices are going up fast every where.

Hmmm I would like to agree with this but the way stores work now stuff is cheaper in season because of the abundance. I got mine last year and ended up paying like $234 at Home Depot after a coupon and I think is was on sale for $250ish. That same one is still being sold but it is now $299. It is weird how things work now huh.


And that was shipped.


No more supply and demand with some things with Walmart and Home Depot like companies out there. And they do not care because they know it is all Chinese crap and we will be back soon to buy another. lol

does this look like a good deal? i was thinking about driving there tomorrow to pick it up? give me some info please:D

see if i can get it for 250 cash. also i have a 400 watt balast from home grown hydroponics but it is makes a loud buzzing. maybe i should just get a reflector and bulb from these guys for $35 ? After all it is my first indoor grow!!!

No thats not a good deal. Find a better price on 600w lumatek or a phantom. and buy the reflector seperately. It will cost you about 80 dollars more but any money you spend on chinese digital ballasts is a waste. Their just not up to spec.

And always make sure something is ISO certified. If not and it causes a problem like fire or something I hear insurance will not cover it.

I meant that the ones on craigslist are going up in price, cause demand is higher, they get snapped up faster if they are cheap. Your right on Home Depot though, gotta wait for the season with them, but on craigslist it is best to get a jump on the competition.

Anyone know why 250w systems seem to cost the same or very close to 400w systems? I assume it's just because the parts can't be lowered anymore in price. Guess I will just go ahead and get a 400 and hope I don't overheat my cabinet.

IF you use a CMH bulb it might help, produces less heat, and you can use the one bulb from seed to harvest, best used with a magnetic ballast only a few of the digital ballasts can run a CMH bulb. Get the philips brand the one HTG supply is using in their CMH package is an inferior bulb.
