Does anyone have some pictures of this strain called Gorilla Glue #4?
great info PF! i forget the brand of ballast that my buddy is using but he's using the adjustas with the gavita pro bulbs...$450 seems kinda low(i get all my equipment just a fraction above wholesale)...but then again I haven't priced it all recently
For those of you that want to run DE bulbs on normal Digital ballasts this bulb is for them not Gavita or E-P ballast. This is the only DE bulb that I can find for Regular Digital ballast's
1000W - DigiMax Double-Ended Lamp 80$ <<<<link to bulb
Double-ended lamps are made to increase photosynthesis by increasing the energy in the red spectrum. This lamp in particular was created to work with high frequency electronic ballasts. The big benefit of being double-ended is having a connection on each side which eliminates the need for a frame wire inside the lamp, this prevents any shadows from being created by the frame wire.
sirsmokesalot and I were talking today about the lights and its really a no brainer if your cash cropping, were losing money everyday that we don't invest in them.
i have had zero problems running the ushio pro de with normal digi basllasts
So you like these better than bare vert bulbs? I like how I can get the bare bulbs real close to the plants, and all around them if necessary. Can you duplicate that intensity from a distance with the new setups?
valuable info right there and I believe every word of it, thanks PF for sharing what you have already tried and leaned, really helps us.Like I said the bulbs will fire but will not work properly. I tested the 400v bulbs on a normal ballast(long time ago) at my local store the PAR values are drastically reduced. you can't see this by eye you need a PAR meter.you can use them all you want but they wont perform to there 2100/1850(umol.m.2s1 of PAR) specs and they cost about 60$ more then the Bulb you should be using.
Most if not all stores are going to tell you sure you can use these bulbs. you wont ever know unless you have a PAR meter(not many do). They just want to sale you what they can. If you dont believe me ask whazzup he knows. he is a member here but has not been on in about 2 weeks. Only trying to help but most don't want to listen because there bulbs light up lol. I have a hard time understanding how anyone would think that if they put a 400v bulb into a none 400v ballast that it would function properly.
