Thanks Davey Jones. Figured it was fine, there cheap too. Upgraded my light (234w cfl----> 150w hps+cfl as needed) and soil (Hyponex cheapo ---> FFHF and FFOF) for this grow, perhaps FF nutes too, depending on cash. Got a WW bean in the soil a few hours ago. :peace:

Cool. Good luck with that white widow - one of my favorite strains even if it's old school. Smoked the shit out of the WW in Amsterdam!

Let us know how that tent works out man. I plan on ordering a 3' x 3' tent to keep a mother plant in. They have one on Amazon for $89 plus shipping. Looks like a great way to keep a mother and take clones.

Hi I have a question about heat. I'm looking at a 150W HPS on ebay from htgsupply and I really want to get it. My question is how much heat will it produce? It has a glass insert for the hood. Here is my closet grow. I have 221W in my closet right now on one plant. Set up like this View attachment 1156649. Right now I can get my temps down to around 70, probably lower. You can get at least 2 plants under one light right? How much warmer will the HPS be with the glass and vented hood and the fan blowing across the canopy?

I had to build a cool tube for my 150hps, was way to hot without it. I had no heat problems with 234w of cfl's. Temp. maxes out at 83 degrees 6" below the bulb and the glass is cool to the touch. I'm lovin' it!

Yeah the plant has caught up to the light its about 8 - 10 inches now. i did it cause it was just introduced to the HPS for the first time and i didnt know what would happen. The last thing i was is a burt top. had that problem before!!! SUCKED!

Very excited to get my 150watt set up running again. My new box should be complete within the next week or 2, so until then I'll just be running the light in my closet. I have 3 seeds germinating right now; white widdow, white russian, and purple kush. Hope everyone's grows are doing good!! I'll be back soon for updates and pictures of what I have going. Peace.

I have also seen it for 77 with free shipping on ebay from htg supplys. I'm using cfls right now but hear 150w don't put out that much heat and the one on ebay has a glass lens cover and a 4" flange attachment for a fan.
