Thank you Joe. However, Im not sure that you answered my question in the previous post. It seems that digital will run both MH and HPS bulbs as will a switchable ballast (the latter of witch im VERY clear on,which is why I asked the question in the 1st place). However. The digital ballast tend...

1.Do plants need to be surrounded on all 4 sides for Mylar to be effective? 2.How close does a plant have to be for Mylar to be effective? 3. Can ANYBODY plz answer my question regarding Switchable vs Digital Ballast?

@That Boydean. dont mean to hijack the thread but could you tell us the diffrenece btween a switchable HPS/MH and Digital Ballast. It seems that the Digitals will run both HPS and MH but I dont want to purchase one and be wrong.

If I use one do I still have to invest in a switchable ballast or can I just stay with a HPS and be ok?

I plan to veg w a 1000w MH and flower with a 1000w HPS. I was of the thinking that I wanted to use the same ballast for both and was about to opt for a switchable. However. Ive seen several digital ballast that seem to be able to support both bulbs as well. The digitals seem to be considerably...

Am I to understand that this Deep Water Culture system is NOT or CAN NOT be used for a full term grow? It seems that Everyone inevitably makes a transfer to to 4 or 5gallon pot (usually with soil). I could have been on the meds but Im almost certain that I saw or read that someone used it for a...

Im a VERY independent self sufficient paraplegic. That being said. I DO NOT want anyone to drill holes in my ceiling to hang a refelector/lamp.Ive searched online and have been able to find a few Light Fixture Hangar type stands.Will they support the weight of the lamp? Does anyone know of any...

Would anyone be willing to offer suggestions on a good air cooled hood reflector that they have actually used or seen used? AND how does a air cooled hood refelector stack up against a cool tube refelector? This is for a 1000w switchable MH/HPS. I understand that I may lose a little light with...

From my searches Im of the understanding that one should allow between 4k-5k lumens per square foot of grow space.However everyone knows the corrrelation between Lumens and plant growth. So my question is this. Should one expect a greater yield or faster flowering from using a 1000W HPS in a 5x5...

Thanks. I agree with you about the grostar. The lighting package Im about to order doesnt offer one though.=( When I become an advanced and more knowledgeable grower like you Dean, I wil most definitely invest in one.

LOL! Its the medicine. Yes. I meant reflectors.(I need to put this stuff down.)

Are there any benefits to this lighting that I should be aware of? How does it compare /contrast to a regular Lamp? Does it generate more or less heat? Provide for more light? Any answers /explanations would be appreciated.

I was just going to inquire about that. Maybe a MH bulb for VEG and then go to HPS. ALL at 1000W. I have seen SO MANY mixed reviews regarding LED. It makes alot of sense to VEG w them it seems. I would NEVER even entertain using them to flower.Thanks for the input.

I did consider a 90w LED UFO for VEG but it seems that 600HPS to 1000HPS will do the trick for the whole run. Thanks Everyone!

Thank. @ Be Irie. Ita a either or for me becuae I dont cant spend for both. NOTE. The 400w 600w combo consisted of a MH for Veg and a HPS for Flowering. I was afraid the a 1000w HPS would be too much on the plants given the set up but Im now assured that they will be fine. So @ 1000w HPs i...
