My best explanation of why you don't want hermaphroditic plants for your smoke. They have the potential of seeding themselves and others. This is bad not only because your smoke will have seeds but much more importantly when a bud becomes pollinated it stops the process of producing THC and...

Why choose Electronic Ballasts? More lumen output up to 30% more lumens output than some old style magnetic ballasts ... More light equals more yield. Test this yourself with a good quality light meter. Also check how much power the ballast is using with an ammeter as many so called 600w...

Thank you Ratboy. That is what I thought. Running 240V would not serve much benefit. So I would see no reason to buy a 240V ballast vs a 120V, especially if you don't have 240V outlets. Rather then replace my 120V ballast and run a 240V line I should just run another 120V line once I come to...

I know chunkymunkey, skoolzone and I asked those questions before you ever posted in this thread and the response seems to be in regard to our questions not yours. That's why I was trying to see if bricktown's response was in regard to our questions, which are both basically the same, or your...

I never considered, until reading your thread, adding my power consumption. My room is on a 15A 120V circuit, while my two 600W electronic ballasts are running, that leaves 600W which should run safe on that circuit, if I'm correct. Item------------------Watt 2 x 600W HPS----1200W 12 x 26W...

-I see a response by bricktown I believe to these two questions- If I understand what your saying, using Lumatek ballast as an example, a 600W 240V Lumatek ballast uses half the wattage of a 600W 120V Lumatek ballast? So then it must cost half as much to run a A 600W 240V Lumatek ballast vs...

I only have 120V outlets and I use two 600W electronic ballasts @ 120V. Is there any benefit to using a 240V electronic ballasts vs a 120V? I never considered, until reading this thread, adding my power consumption. My room is on a 15A 120V circuit while my two 600W electronic ballasts are...
