For yrs and yrs the ONLY shit I bought online came from MDhydro.com cuz the guy`s website sucks but his package deals made up for it in spades......well....I did get my carbonaire scrubbers and vortex inlines from plantlightinghydroponics.com but , I had a close friend`s nursery and landscaping supply co. to have shit shipped to and he never knew what the shit was for so it was all good.......

For instance MD hydro Eye Horti bulbs for 65 bucks compared to 100 everywhere else.....but that`s been a few yrs , so the only other thing I`ve got ta say bout e-bay is have a safe addy ta ship to if yas ain`t got a med card cuz all that shit`s logged and looked at by LEO on a regular basis.....bet on it.....

Good luck AD....DHF.....:ying:......

Looking for a 600 eye. Have ta check out that site.
$85 is the best I've found.

Got me a 215 med card and 2 recs that live with me.
Gives me 27/27 veg/flower under the law so leo can suck it..lol

I ya looked at my ebay account you would know whatz up.. lol. Dont care, straight to the house.
It's a different world here..

Wonder what you had ta work with 1st grow DHF ?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/180871864056?hlp=false&var=

fuck the off brand chinese bullshit. 600w nextgen for $127, buy yourself a ushio lamp for $60 off ebay... Wire yourself a cordset or just pull one out of the barn...

edit: just saw the ebay comment above. There's lots of other websites with comparable deals if you look hard enough. It's always better to spend a few extra $$ than get the cheapest digital ballast. It probably has the cheapest parts. Not that I need to tell you... Just saying.

Good info bro, thanks.

Gotz a 5 year plan here. This being year 2.
I only made $600 off of last years grow (seeds)
Hoping for a couple grand this year.

Season 4 will be upgraded permanent equipment.

Just need this chit ta last 2 seasons and I'll be golden...

Wondering thae same thing with u. Bobble.
What did ya grow your 1st ladies under ?

Keep throwing up links ta great deals on top shelp equipment here. Y'all going ta save me bank...

Latz...

yeah the deals are out there for sure.

I hear you DHF about the LEO but really they have to have proof of said action, smell,garbage,waste before they can get a warrant, yeah they can come knock on the door but as long as there is nothing visible and there is no smell there's really not much they can do unless they have a warrant by then they have been watching you longer than you think and you fucked up somewhere other than ordering shit on line. its not illegal to own the gear or there wouldn't be hydro shops popping up every where.

I have some one that gets my supplies for me anyways and If i ever have to go to the hydro whore store I always have a certain family member take me, just safer if my license plate isn't seen at something like that. I take precautions every one should.

So spent the day reading on bulbs and was thinking the Eye.H. was the way ta go till
I looked into the ushio's bobbleHead mentioned.

People seem ta give the lead ta ushio over the Eye H. Though this has somethin ta do with Eye.H not doing good in digital ballast.

Soooo.. Have ta see for myself. Even though the hood comes with a GE bulb. They dont say what mmodel so I'll have it as a back up blub.

600 watt Ushio Hilux Gro Opti Red HPS. $65.00 New straight to the door.

Just another piece of the puzzle....

2/3/13 Get-er-done...

2/3/13 Get-er-done...

Getting more pieces ready for the big show.

5 more PPK totes drilled-glued and ready. Making 15 Im using.

Im setting up 2 totes with 4 air pots each ta use as my SCROG.

Built 2 SCROG screens.




I want more pulse power and less hoses as I will be pulsing a lot of ladies and dont want clutter.

Came up with a way ta use 1/2" PVC.
2 pumps feeding..



Going to run into tent and right up the center. Then branch off using the manifold I already have.

Looking to run at ground level through the tent. (will make for drain if the tent ever floods) I will run PVC through just like the wick in smart pots and glue the same way, making a water proof connection.

The tent has a removable floor that acts as a 6" high tray. This is where the connection will be glued.

Also adding a port for the PPK tote lines.
12 hoses-10 needed. 2 extra since they are glued and permanent. Hose's can be plugged.
