what im trying to say is right now my white widows are about 3 weeks old and i have both 6 daylights (blue) and 6 warm white (red) they are on dual sockets hanging from a clamp shoplights was wondering if using the reds during veg is
ok??
 
wow i think it would just be cheaper to save like 50 bucks more and go with hps they are pretty cheap on e-bay thanx
 
yeah Id just go to Maryland Hydroponics ad get a digital 600 watt ballast that run mh and hps bulbs gives 30% more light and uses 30% less power then old ballasts for $119 get a super enhanced spectrum bulb with 95000 lumes ( witht the digital ballast 126666 lumnes enhanced) for $25 and a sunleaves lightwave refector for $29.99 so under 175 for a whole new setup with awesome lighting
 
sorry about that:

md hydro system
600w 120v $119

bulb enhanced 600hps for $39

refelctor universal for $20
 
i am going to order the system tomm but what i am going to do is keep all my cfls for veg then when flowering start throw up my system hopefully i produce good yield i ordered to a mini air cooler for 13 bucks with shipping
 
Good choice tech you can use your cfls as side lighting also during veg to help the lower stuff get more light.Hope you like it I know I luv the ballasts from them light as can be also like 5 lbs
 
Depending on the reflector you may have to grab a mogul socket for like 5-8 bucks.Some come with them some dont.Its 2 or 3 wires to hook it to your ballast cord
 
damn man sorry for all the questions man which reflector would you suggest so i dont have to get that socket because i want to keep it as simple as possible
