150w HPS Club: Inspirational Resource

Ok I am almost done with one plant and another is about 50% of the way home....

So far the 150 has done great. I don't have any experience so I have not reference to judge by.

I have attached a few of my White Widow plant at day 31 of flowering. Can't wait to roll some of these buds..

So far not bad for my first time. I also have some clones ready to go in as soon as these are complete.

trying to upload pics but the site is not allowing me...

Frosty brotha just got some grapefruit and eeewwweeeee this shit makes your face pucker...prolly not up to the caliber you're puttin out but overall i like the effect,but honestly i'm a taste man all the way and this shit is going on my list!!!!!! man im high not at all stoned and just waitin for the sun to come up...damn it feels good to be a gangster

some new pics of the circular lst.

main stem: 16"
tallest shoot from dirt: 9"

Dude you have to be putting Nitrogen in that baby fast man!!!!

I know, Ive been adding full doses of FF Big Grow once a week but its just wants more!!!

whats the PH at. It takes a min of 3 days but 7 to see real results in what you are adding. When was the last time if ever have you flushed?

I havent checked ph in a few weeks since my meter broke but I use only store-bought distilled water. Havent flushed yet...

What i would do since it looks like your plant is on a month if not a little more... flush the soil with three times as much water as it holds soil...doing this you might want to check where the ph is at you never can be sure unless you actually check...if it were me id flush with like a half tsp per gallon of grow big and just flush with that to ensure the salt build up is off the roots and to ensure you get some nitrogen in with the soil while getting all the other not wanted stuff out...make sure your PH is not lower really than 5.5 Nitrogen at that point is locked out of the uptake and no matter how much you add it wont do a thing

Thanks for the Help Milehigh! Ill pick up some water this afternoon and give it a good flush.

Here are the pics First three are the White Widow at 31 days flower The last is the lone "bonus Seed" plant moving to all H20 today harvest next week.

I got a ?? I've been going through the threads about the 150 watter and its a great idea, I was in lowes and came across a 100 watt hps for cheap and decided to get it. It's an brand called "Utilitech." Well, it's a vapor tight light like the econolights but the base of it is a lil different. I have the black/white and a yellow wire/ green specs coming out the bottom. Okay...i've been trying to figure out how to wired this thing. I just wanted to leave the base in tact so I could mount it. So what im asking is, if I find a drop cord and splice the two wires w/ the black and white coming from the vapor light then shouldnt the darn thing work?

Yes it should. Use a nice 3-pronged cable. White is neutral, black is hot, green is ground. It will work without the ground connected but why not be a little safer? Do you have a link to the light?

Ight cool preciate that response, cause I found a power cord you know the ones that used to work for a ps2 and similar and cut the one end so all that was left was the plug in side. I tried to splice the wires and wire the black and white up but it didnt work once I plugged it in. I only tried that cause the cord was free and sitting around the house. Today I think ima just go out and get a bigger gauge drop cord, one I know that has a green wire also and try. I tried to find a link on the Lowes website but they didnt have one to my light, I just know that the brand is "Utilitech" When I get back home I'll have to snap a pic of the box and light, but it looks very much the same to the econolight just the base is made a lil different. This should def help with my 5 bagseeds I have going right now.

here are some bubba kush nugs i just harvested...I smoked some right now, and it is super stoney!! has that wonderful earthy kush smell too...kush is my favorite!

hey smokey, i don't think you got any pics in that post.

I will be taking down my one "bonus seed" plant she is at 8 weeks and the Trichs are cloudy. She is getting a 7 day water only then down she comes. The white widow has another 3 weeks or so.

Could I grow some crop in a 50cm x 50cm x 80cm area with a 150w hps? I'm kinda concerned about heat issues, as I would only use pc fans...

depends if the ballast is attached or remote but i had mine attached and used two-three computer fans and I could keep it at 78...just depends on how you have the light setup and from there we can position them accordingly

umm not sure about CM

i use a 150 hps econo light in a 2ftx3ftx3ft tall stealth cab. its actually cooler than the 6-23w cfls i was using and WAY BRIGHTER. im at 80-85 degrees no fan, 75-79 fan on. my tops are like 3 inches away, and all around the light...lol
