hey gc Well after last night when my lighting fell and destroyed the tops of one of my plants, ive decided to upgrade my lighting early. im going to buy this 250w hps system. The link is http://www.hydroponics.co.uk/Compact-System-Product-626.html I rang them about details and its a 250w hps bulb but its dual spectrum. I dont kno anything about this. Jus wondering if anyone has any experience with dual spectrum bulbs and if there worth it. Thanks guys
Hey dude those dual spectrum bulbs are around 60% of the red spectrum and around 40% blue. Great for vegging and then flowering with but I use mine just for flowering. They are groovy, I just treat mine as a normal HPS. Good luck
I have the 600w and Im very happy with it. 75 quid is cheaper than my local shop, they are 100 there which ever size you choose so I'd say grab if it you want one. Just be aware that they run hotter than CFL's if this is your first HPS
well its 75 for the 250 and 4 quid extra for the 600w =/ but with my restrictions i cant use it but it seems a waste lol And im already constructuing some ventinng and cooling for it Im so excited! Thanks forthe input =)
ive been wanting one for ages lol and i have a 6ft x 2ft x 2 wardrobe for it. Im gonna section off so it will be 4x2x2. Will that be enough room for the hps
Leaving it full size would be best of course but you could LST them, I'd look in the journals section and see what other 250 user as doing. Remeber you have the height of the pots and stuff to deal with to but I have not run a 250 so I don't really know. Good luck
i realised i need to have it like 10 inches away haha thanks again =) it'll be here in 5 days. My ryders will get some better lighting and my la woman can flower in style
yeah easyryders are 35 days in but last night a cfl fell on top off one and destroyed the top of it =/ so i have to cut off all the burnt stuff and it looks like its doing nice =) My la woman is now 7 days old and im going to top and clone so i needed an upgrade on lighting. Cant use cfls forever haha
