Picked up a Baddass ballast and an rz cloner just as soon as I can drive to the place :\ Spring starting kinda shitty around here but at least it was a day off work!

Not with digital timers, mechanical yes but I've had led remain on, (however very dim) so dim it had to be dark in the room to see the diodes were actually still on with digital timers.

Sun systems isn't the only 315 agro elite option and neither is the genuine philips agro elite. There are several companies making ballasts that run the 315 on a low frequency square wave (which is the reason they perform so well). For instance theres the HF phantom cmh with remote ballast ane...

I'm patiently awaiting the arrival of DE CMH , they're doing low freq square wave over at revolutionmicro but it's mainly DE HPS . Solis is doing some DE MH , not sure that they got all the bugs worked out or not, they were having a problem with lamps and failures with them. They were only...

Had to grab a HF phantom cmh to compare but the reflector I put the phantom cmh ballast on may have an unfair advantage to the SS LEC 315, it's a SS luxor with mogul extension and mogul to pgzx18 adapter.

BUT I'm so far off topic nobody wanna talk lighting with me :( SS LEC I like a lot, I own two of those, low freq square wave driven . A very reliable and safe light to run(although the T9 lamps aren't O rated which is why the SS lec come with T12 lamps). A huge grow here uses the t9 in open...

DNA lighting tried the high wattage cmh on ultra high frequency sine wave ballast. The thd I'm sure was pretty high too compared to a square wave signal. This led to resonance in the lamp and lamp failures . Possibly even bodily injury or fire hazard even though the lamp they used (allstart 860...

I hope im allowed to mention certain brands and gear I use here..... such as sauvecito anejo tequila.....and solis , ushio, HF, SS, hortilux, philips , cree, aqua illuminations (reef light but also works well for the reefer) getting seedligs going. All good stuff worth mention

Solis de 1000, solis 6000k 600 watt mh de and remote for ballast on its way to its new home. Now only 3 more solis lamps to buy then I'll be back to getting a couple Hf phantom cmh for the warm months and I am done shopping! Planning retirement for the day job because ive been at it way too...

Welcome and input is always welcome also. I'm running slightly different than most. Those Igloo team water coolers are connected to an big igloo 20 feet away in my mechanical room so it's rdwc, the only way to fly. Right now my goals are to see just how this cmh lamp works with the LFSW ballast...

Tough crowd, guess I'll talk to myself about more gear I'm gonna buy. I"ve got the choice to buy another Hortilux platinum and run it on 1000 watt DE OR allstart 860 or Horti blues. Or go the solis tek SE/DE route and have the ability to run 600 watt lamps (mh and hps). I'm leaning towards the...

Having discussed what would be the most effective to use to produce male flowers on a female with a professional breeder ( you may know of him , 303 seeds) he recommended silver thiosulfate or STS for short. Even in two part liquid shelf life is only a year or so , I recently purchased silver...

Actually I'm just trying to get my post count up. Not even sure any one has looked at this since it was resurrected.

So like feel free to say hello, I see the views I just don't see the comradery. Speak the fuck up, give me some tips, ask me some questions.....I probably can't answer them but I'll give it a try. Post your best and describe the lighting. I'm all about lighting , even led.

I did however forget to mention an important part of my grow, I've grown to love most all 303 seed companies products and they're due back in business in less than a couple months. I have many 303 strains . The ones under the allstart right now are Lucky charms(bodhi)x Yeti (303 biodiesel x...
