Thanks for the informative response but I guess I did not make myself clear enough because that answer is nowhere near what I was looking for. I am worried about heat temps and will 1ft of space be enough distance for my plants and will trying to keep the cab cool be so ridiculously hard that I...

What size HPS Ballast do you think I should get? I have a grow space 48"w x 36"l x 46"h The 46" height is taking into account total space the plants have to grow until they would hit the top of the box. (IE. I deducted a few inches of room for the planters) I really want to get a 600W AIR...

Will I need a "head" converter to modify to fit this 240v inlet? Or do the ballasts usually come with this type already?

Awesome, I was thinking it may be the ones that look like my dryer outlet. Thing is HUGE and round... is that 240 v also?

I have these spray jets and am wondering what size pump I should get to power them? They say 11.9 GPH @ 25 psi on them but am having a hard time finding the output of a lot of water pumps Primarily considering the eco plus 633 to run 20 of these guys. Do you think that will be enough or...

Hey everyone, Getting ready to buy an HPS Ballast and have this outlet available to me in my room. I was curious if this may be the 240v that I can use with the ballasts?:dunce: Thanks in advance.

Yeah, good news to hear. Thanks for the response! I will probably go with the Digital Greenhouse unless I hear something otherwise. I will probably order in about another week

That would be great. I hear a good way to test it out is to use a battery radio and test it at different distances from the ballast. 3 ft through 30 ft etc. The biggest time for rf interference would be when it first lights up. So listen on the radio during start up at different distances...

Any problems with RF Interference?

I love the digital greenhouse ballast prices but def considering going with lumatek because of the better shielding... anyone with experience?

So the Digital Greenhouse ballasts put out a lot of emissions? Anyone using this particular brand able to comment? I don't really want it messin with my digital tv/phone/net etc.

Cool, I was considering buying the digital greenhouse one as well. The Lumatek one is my other options its a little more pricey but I hear it is a little more quality with the RF emission dampening.. Anyone have an opinion between the two?

I have a little confusion about attaching the pump to the sprayer unit. I have always used tubing in the past. Do you just silicone the pump to the pvc on your original design? I may just use the tubes so I can move the pump around ( to avoid root overgrowth)

Look at this timer I just found! Sorry if it was already posted, but a NICE CHEAP alternative. http://www.plantlightinghydroponics.com/cap-nft1e-1minute-on-4minutes-off-preset-recycle-timer-p-1725.html

Yeah, that is what I had figured. Thanks for the info, I will go with the 633. I will order the pump and the 120 micron filter here now. Thanks a bunch.

While I was at work today, I designed a remake of this system to fit a cabinet I have. The resevoir is already set and all that fits fine, although the 4x4's will cover more of the res. than in the StinkBud design due to space limitations. * Five 2" net pots per 3' post. * Five ezclone...

Cheaper alternative timers with 1 minute intervals available. Anyone have any experience with these or any others? http://www.marineandreef.com/Digital_Power_Center_Timer_Coralife_p/res01692.htm http://www.reefshops.com/aquarium-digital-programmable-timer-wave-maker-light.html...

Lumens do not add up. A 600 watt bulb puts out more lumens than a 150 watt bulb. Bigger bulbs can cover a larger area. Please see table below for a generic coverage; 1000 Watt 6' x 6' 600 Watt 4' x 5' 400 Watt 2' x 4' 250 Watt 2' x 3' 150...

Thanks for the link. It is a little more expensive but it will be good to know I am getting the right thing. I am assuming that the ones I refered to I saw at Lowes were co-extruded ones? At least thats what it looks like from the pictures at the eBay link.

I was originally planning on going with a flood and drain system, but this post inspired me because my space/height is limited and this seems like I can modify it to fit better in my cabinet. So after all returns were done on all the extra buckets I went to my local Lowes. They had 4x4 vinyl...
