morning peeps, off to a shit start, blown either the ignitor in the ballast of the e40 socket for the bulb but either way were not cooking on hps today, nowhere open to replace e40 and sparkie buddys not about ... cant be trusted not anyways so looks like an investment in a lumatek dimmable and new reflector....

had been useing a dutch barn type reflector might go for a parabolic this time, used cool tube etc before never tried a para..

anyone here useing them...

Also 80 quid for an omega dimmable ballast ive had one near 2 years and hasnt given a bit of trouble

brand names not important at this stage been honest, i`m a cheap and cheerful kinda fella just seen a deal on the lumatek, sick of hold upafter hold up, see never had these issue`s when grows were fire toogether overnight, do a litttle bit of planning and everything goes to shit.. suppose its like the random nights out are always the best ones...murphys law...

germ update:: 3of 12 have popped give them another few days and call the rest fails..

@Spud, the sun king parabolic (small) is what i was looking at..

could really do without the outlay, one birthday last week, another next week, crimbo, birthday just after crimbo... changed car in summer, went through test last week cost a few hundred to put it right, sooner the better were up and running...

getting there dude, only a slight leak over the door, had to cut the ply with a half blunt hand saw, the little rip saw blew a fuse when i pulled the trigger, hence the crooked cuts...hahaha, its plenty big enough for veg box and all.... love to have a few hundred quid to throw at it abd build it right straight away but this will be a work in progress, pain in arse hanging lights and what have you then working the diamond reflective liner around evrything but needs must....

i like the challenge of putting it together, first time i`ve actually built a grow room tho, always used available space, and as the whiteish walls in the pics will prove its been done in there aswell, ages ago now tho....

i`m on a run of bad luck... gas went while was doing the kids dinner, last few quids gone now... but its official were growing in the shed...
