150w HPS Club and Resource Guide......

[Sphongle]

Thats what ive heard. bigger better right? must be some other kind of rule in light when it comes to multiple lightning? DR.Budgen gets out 4GPW? by doing that method. and when i look at all this beutiful 150watts grows i was really into get 4x150watts. i was thinking of have cooltube on everyone. and ballast heat i don't know. never had a HPS before, have 300CFL atm. PEACE

well if you do everything right with cooling the lights and modifying the homes electrical box it would be a nice grow i have 2 150 watt bulbs going side by side right now and the results are looking ok but if i had a 400w bulb with proper cooling id go for that just becuse i like simpler.

If you go for a 400wHPS it allows you to also use a Ceramic Metal Halide lamp. IMO the CMH400 is one of the best lamps you can use. The spectrum is better for more stages of growth than any HPS. I have grown clones under both HPS and CMH back to back and the CMH harvest is always best. I think that it allows veg stage to do way better than any HPS or smaller wattage CFL etc. and when plant does well in the earlier stages they always produce better quality, and quite often higher yield.

I have shown several stellar grows here that were done using a 400CMH coupled with a 150HPS. The full coverage of spectrum seems to be key.
I'll post up a link for y'all to see my 400x150 cab setup in a minute or three.

150w hps (+ 50w 6500k CFL for spectrum). I've grown with 150's, 400's, and 1000's. All but my 150w are in storage. For personal use, it is perfect.

I just ordered a dimmable electronic ballast 75-150w from alibaba (express). It was only 70$ including shipping (from China) Hopefully I get it next week. If it works I think it's a bargain. What do you think?
