It's very likely that you have already made a choice, but I didn't see anyone who mentioned the new Lumigrow Pro 650 models, which DRAW 650 from the wall, have an adjustable spectrum and a 5 year warranty from a company that's based out of Cali., and been around for a while. Price has gone down...

For humidity, go to walgreens and get a humidifier/nebulizer for about $40. They work great for increasing humidity in small spaces. Even putting a few buckets of water in your room will increase the humidity as they slowly evaporate off. It looks funny, but it works in a cinch. Quick question...

A rule of thumb is 200 CFM of filter per thousand watts. That is basically a minimum though. I would also do Phresh filters over Phat filters. Neither have replaceable carbon, but they last up to 2.5-3 years in less humid areas...haha, not grow rooms, but in really humid grow rooms they should...

If I were you I'd try one of the new Hortilux super blue metal halide bulbs on a ballast with super boost, like the solis-tek or lumatek. The new hortilux super blue metal halide is expensive (usually between $140 and $200), but it's one bulb you can use throughout your entire grow and it's...

I'd consider just continuing with the T5's you have and supplementing your flower with red dominant/flower spectrum LEDs. Try out the Kessils like dolamic said. They have a H150 Magenta (36 watts actual draw) or H350 Magenta (90 watt actual draw), which would be the right spectrum for the...

I'll be keeping tabs on this one! Continue please....

If they're a cool company, ask them if they'll still help you out. If the don't, focus on LED companies with 2+ year warranties. My 2 cents. Good luck and let us know what Blackstar says. I'd like to know what their customer service is like.

400w 6" Air Cooled Reflector -- https://growershouse.com/400w-package 400w Wing Reflector -- https://growershouse.com/400w-economy-lighting-package Spoke to my friends at teh growers house saying they need inexpensive 400w and 250w packages. Looks like they didn't make the 250w packages...

Nice!!! I've been waiting for one of these to spring up. I'm staying tuned for sure. Keep us updated.

I guess many induction grow lights up until this point are bunk (what iGrow said). I stumbled across this company, but they're new and I can't find any info about them anywhere. Has anyone here heard of them/bought one in the last couple weeks? I totally recognize the guy from those sure to...

Jumpman301 tells the truth. The unit is 800w by the definition of 5w diodes and there are 160 of them. 5 X 160 = 800. Actual draw on these units is approximately 620-650 in flower depending on whether you have the UVB lights on as well.
