overall cost

Just as in your post you asked a question. I had no problem sharing my experience since you "asked" a question. This person just said "i bought this that and the other". Anything I would have said beyong that was for nothing since everything was already bought. I'm assuming no matter what I said to them after the fact they were going to "attempt" a successful grow with this equipment.

Well smokere i have got 3 hps 400w lights for £50 and a selection of mh and hps bulbs and before you say it the ballasts are also compatable with both and just for good measure i had a propogation light thrown in so can you now explain how you come to the conclusion that any weed i grow will be fluff

i'd like to see that auction

lights do no good without the ballasts.

And if you say you got the lights and ballasts for 50 bucks....not on ebay sir. I look for hps lights all the time on there.

Prove it...show your plants with the 3 hps lights and ballasts. Put it on that same wooden tray. I'm sure i'll never see those pics. LOL

What you saying i have made it up? as it happens i havent got any details of the auction as the seller contacted me because the winning bidder could not complete but i dont have to prove myself to you or anyone else ,im not in the habit of lying and what would i gain from doing so ? not to try and earn the respect of someone like you who has obviously got a problem with someone else getting a good deal (maybe a bit of jealousy)

ps i aint no kid

No jealousy. With all do respect when I smell b.s. i call it like i see it.

Those plants are 2 stretched out to be grown under hps. Keep trying.

C'mon guys, I thought this was supposed to be a peaceful place. Internet arguements are pointless. Smoke a J and chill.

Shipping costs alone would have cost the person who owned them at least 20-30 dollars. So he let it go for 20 bucks.....yeah right.

Your right Baked. My apologies.

here we are and i gave him some extra cash as he delivered it to a town near me because im a nice guy
sorry is a big word kid

Tooshay... my apologies

Damn... Someone scored big on those lights. Lucky fucker. ^_^

Apoligy accepted SmokerE now lets just both chill and be friends
as for the two plants in the background you are right they do seem to be stretching a bit but they are under a mh light which i thought was better for veg(i may be wrong) and i am restricted on how low i put the light because of the bigger plant
so any advice will be greatly appreciated
cheers Bifter

I'm not going to say "told you so", I think we all know. Congrats on the cheap pick up on those lights.
