Dna lighting solutions true 900 watt cmh flower room

What can I say I'm update crazy! Day 28 4 weeks just about half half way oooo eeee can't wait. Had to post some shots with my fiance's canon for some nice macro shots, first pic is all white russian clones at two weeks flower, enjoy!

Looking great. Another question

Have you used a kill-a-watt meter or multi meter on the dna's? I'm just wondering the amp pull. If its based on the ballast or bulb

Its around 905 for mine, based on the bulb and ballast, because i believe the bulb itself is 860

Im just wondering more on the amps. Its a 248 volt bulb. I would be running on a 120. If the amp pull is based off the bulb. It would be just over 3 amps. If the amp pull is based on the ballast it would be just over 7 amps. I want to get 2 . I have a 15 amp breaker for the room. If that's an issue I may go wit 4 330's. I don't think 2 330's will match the par of 1 860.

Even though years ago I got better results from 2 400w hps than 1 1000w hps

Nice grow and set up! Would you consider swapping out the HPS for another CMH next run? What ballast are you using for CMH? I want to come over and touch your equipment.

Absolutely No way can you run two 860w CMH with ballast on a15 amp circuit Hyroot!.....don't even think about it, lost enough good people around here.

Nice fucking grow coccocola!^^

well that answers that. I pm'd chaz too. oh well.. I do have 3 15 amp breakers between 2 bedrooms and a living room.

Are you sure you aren't growing those with the sun?

Thank you! I do have a 3rd cmh being used for veg, but after what im seeing I am prob going to switch out the hps to use all cmh and use my quantum digi ballast to run an mh for veg next run

It looks like the sun in there lol, I told the sales rep that it looks like i cut out my roof! I don't think 3k watts is overkill for a 6x 12ft room tho (its an honest 2800). Based on a 1000 watts per 4x4 area I actually have more space than that. I want more light lol but i doubt i need it.

Those 860's put out about the same par as the sun. Highest par bulb out of any kind of lighting.

Subbed. Very interested in CMH. Great job sir, looking forward to updates. +rep

Much appreciated Keif, the more the merrier

I just talked to DNA to try to get a deal on bulb and ballast. Laughed at her when she told me the price. I can get the bulb pretty cheap...just need to know the proper ballast to get the most out of bulb with longevity.

1000w magnetic switchable ballast......if the 860w Philips all start bulb doesn't fire on the mh setting switch it too hps and it should work. Make sure you buy a quality remote ballast! And these bulbs are vertical position only/vert hood or bare bulb are your options.

I hate horizontal unless it's an Area 51. I want a vert bulb 3-4' above ground. +Rep for ballast links..sick of googling for hours.

Quick update day 33 flower, I must say first, I got my hands on some buddhas tree pk 9/18 and right now its only available to the uk area as far as I know (for now) and I don't usually mention too many products I use but with that said this stuff rocks!!! I've used bloombastic , hydroplex, and canna pk 13/14 in different past runs and this stuff has worked the best so far. I started using it about two weeks ago and didn't want to mention it until i was convinced how well it works. And it works! I have only had the balls to use it half strength at 1/2mil a gallon every feeding because it is very concentrated. Even at such a low dose I'm seeing results that exceed previous runs. sorry to ramble but I figured I'd share my experience in case anyone was curious. Thats what this forum is about right? On to the pics!!

Bloody good job mate!!! I was going to wank off to this CMH porn until I clicked on your hand pic

Great job man, I wish they made them in smaller sizes. I run a 150w HPS and I am upgrading to a 250w but the heat from magnetic ballasts are a bit too hot for my stealth setup... Someday, someday..
