Your gonna have to read bro. Their is to much data and varied opinion on the subject. Were talking books of info. Some data is fact and some is fiction. The LEDs people are using are grow leds. Not just any led will do. The technology going into LEDs is unreal. Some lights hook to a computer...

I do have some picks of that plant fully grown almost ready for the harvest. I have to post them from my desktop. That plant turned out really well especially concise ring how it started. All tee freakish growth died off and the stock slit before the dirt lateral as a result of the mutation and...

Please tell me your joking and if not then I don't know what your talking about. If you mean illegal drugs then my response to that is, I don't do drugs, I turn people in that do that stuff.

Oh shit didn't read the second page. I see u got it all figured out man. They do look really nice good job bro! Two thumbs up

DonPaul is right dude when the edges of the leafs start to look wilted, curling up, and the leaves look kinda wrinklely it is WITHOUT A DOUBT cause by too high temp. The leaves are perspiring. If it is not remedied then the leaves will die starting from the edges. It's often confused with mute...

Holy shit! I did a little research and found out that fucking with these bulbs is dangerous as shit! I found out that when a bulb breaks it can spontaneously combust. The sodium touches air and it can explode. Apparently garbage trucks have caught fire in this way. I had no fuckin idea. We...

A couple of months back I dropped one of my 1000 watt hps bulbs. It knocked off the screw fitting and broke the glass where the 2 leads go into the bulb. It definitly broke it where it's wasn't vacuume sealed. Well today I used some liquid nails to close the hole and re seal it. To my surprise...

In my case it doesn't matter. My ballasts are outside my house in a fire proof metal box. I'm not too concerned about fire.

Re: One ballast, two bulbs. I wasn't trying to get you upset bro all I'm saying is is that it isn't that big a deal. People do it all the time. I mean they sell dual fixtures to do just what I'm talking about. When you say "surge" I'm gonna go out on a limb here and venture to say that you are...

Re: One ballast, two bulbs. How many novices u know that could even begin to tell you what series or parallel wiring is? It can be wired either way I just don't know how low u can drop the impedance on a ballast transformer. U say it can't be done but then u say it can. I've seen it done so...

Your asking for trouble if you don't follow the manufacturers feed schedule. I can already tell you that your gonna burn them. Less is more my friend. It's not about how much u can force feed the plant. It's about giving the plant what it wants when it wants it. It's all a balance man and with...

So I'm thinking about running two 600 watt bulbs on a 1000 watt transformer type ballast. I know they sell Y adapters to do this but I'm kind of a do it my damn self kinda guy. Lol. My question is do you wire the second bulb in series or parallel? Anybody know?

Like I said before, you completely changed my outlook on led. That's some really impressive ladies u got their.

Yeah that's exactly my strategy. Hopefully some of it will get cured properly before it all goes up in smoke.

Na, I ain't mad about it! Lol. It worked out pretty good. Far better than I expected.
