Whatz up ICMag ? Ill try to make this quick and painless, I know how these intro threads can be a bore and most members on canna sites just ingnore them anyways. I have been joining a shit load of canna sites lately for some odd reason, so if you see me around using the same intro on other sites thats why. I think Im bored from being laid off from my job. So, I have been growing for like 4 years now I think, and I love the cannabis plant not just for its high or taste, but also to me its a beautiful looking plant when done right. I really like to see plants in their fullness and natural state as possible, not all butchered. A well grown cannabis flower is just an amazing looking thing to be hold for sure.

I pretty much have a full seed vault, and I dont know how the hell Ill ever grow them all out, but for some strange reason I always want to get more seed. I grow in organic soil with #5 or #7 smart pots,but now Roots Organic has them in 100% recycled material and a tad cheaper, so Ill be giving them a go. Also use only organic nutrients. I would like to get to the point where I could get off the store bought stuff and have my soil so rich with the goodies and teas I wouldn't need them.
Anyways, this is turning out longer then I had intended so ill end it here and say to anyone that reads this greetings and peace.

One more thing. I have been wanting to switch over to Quantum ballasts and Magnum XXXL 8 in. Air-cooled Reflectors from sunlight supply. So if anyone as had good or bad experiences with them I would be jazzed to hear from you. Late...!

I have heard good things about quantum ballasts.....

I would like to see how those magnum reflectors work out.....my experience with air-cooled reflectors has been that less of the light is reflected downwards and more is reflected out those big vent-holes.....so, a 600 watt air-cooled performed the same as a 400 watt non-air-cooled.....i know that sounds strange, and maybe it is not typical results, but it is nonetheless true.....maybe if you really had a tight ventilation system it would help (cool air intake and hot air exhaust) the plants get closer to the bulb....

Lots of people just enjoy growing this particular species of plant.....

:ying: kind regards from guineapig :ying:

I own a Quantum and so do a lot of my friends. We have had 0 trouble with them.
They run great nice and cool and have fans at both ends of the ballast.
