Hello there I have a ultra grow 1000 watt switchable eco ballast The box says dual voltage 120v/240v. Compatible with MH and HPS lamps. Now i got it as a present and thinking to grow some If anybody can tell me whats that thing is?? I want to use 2 lamps max in my basemant but. Ot sure if i should build a tant or plywood and than use pylon (ive read bout it ob the forums here)
It sounds like a ballast to run your lights. I have two Phantom Digital ballasts that run 1X 1,000 watt HPS bulbs each. You can run whatever wattage you wish, as long as the power added doesn't over-go the max wattage for BOTH! The MH is for Metal Halide and the HPS is for High Pressure Sodium. I use the HPS and I'm extremely happy with the setup! My hubs is a GC (General Contractor) so he actually partitioned off a room and added walls and doors to separate the veg room from the flowering room and give me a work area for taking notes, mixing nutes, etc. I'm a first timer so I am thrilled to pieces with this setup!
So i should have 2 rooms?? One veg andine for fliwering? How many flowers can i set up with 1 hps lamp using this ultra grow and wilk i stilk need 2 rooms? As after 3 to 4 months i will harvest and repeat Also how does the hps lamps consume ekectricity?i dontwant to go all wild and get busted how many plants can i have under 1lamp??in going to start from clones not seeda
