So I put a $3 bid on a grow light at a police auction website, and low and behold I won the damn thing. My question is, does this light need a remote ballast, or can I just wire on an electrical plug and it will be good to go?

here is the info that is on the hood

its a hydrofarm grow light
120V 4.05A 60HZ
use only 430 watt hps S51 type lamp

I attached a pic (I think)

I am hoping to use this lucky find in a small setup now that I have it.....just dont want to burn anything up in the process.

thanks a bunch!

I would think it's similar to rockwool. I've only ever read about it being used to start seeds and cuttings.

1 plant (feminized seed) 3x2x2 (ft) height/length/width box. 100watt HPS, 24/0 vegging, 12/12 once plant gets about 12" tall. Will use 1 pc fan for exhaust and 1 for intake. 750ml pot for the plant in Nitrogen enriched soil (still need to search for this).

Has anyone used Floralicious Bloom? I've just start germinating and debating whether or not to pick up some of this FB for when I start adding nutrients.

I really think the inlines are going to be loud for some reason. I purchased insulated duct-hose...

But I was trying to think of a cheap material to put on the walls prior to putting up my mylar.. here are some of the brainstorming ideas I had...

--soundproof material used on dishwashers sandwiched between cardboard boxes then covered in mylar (Con: alot of construction for an unknown)

--some sort of cheap corregated board (con: most everything I have found is just too thin)

--Material that is sold as application specific to soundproofing (VERY expensive)

--foam sound unsulation in the walls (con: was told that when it hardens it could actually amplify sound because of its rigitity)

I am new to the growing but not to the smoking. I thought after years of paying someone else more than I should I would invest in a kit of my own and try it myself.

I purchased a BudBox (75cm x 75cm x 200cm), a light with ballast, and some rockwool cubes of varying sizes. I am going down the hydroponics route, but though buying some nutrients I may not use them. A colleague of mine grew this way without any chemicals and had a great harvest.

Yesterday I soaked the cubes in water and placed them in a propagator to warm them through. Once warmed through I placed five seeds (Nirvana Northern Lights) into the cubes.

Tonight the lights go on for a 18/6 period.

I have read through BudBaron's Northern Lights grown and found it very useful and I will be using this as a point of reference going forward.

Any comments or advice will be greatly appreciated
Cheers
GrowingHeaven

PS, how do I post pictures?
