..... From the ground up. Well shit. So Im moving out to one of the legal states as soon as my slip/fall case settles where I shattered my thigh in 5 pieces. Been waiting 5 years on this and I've grown altogether a bit over 15 years. In and outdoors. Always organic though. I'm no hippie. It's just my thing and you can't sell me on better tasting herb. I just don't care. So sick of these street thugs.. "Yo , got that dro dog! This shit be banging and nothing as good as this!" And then throws some made up name on it. Yeah it's good bud. It's kist the latest kind bud. But who gives a rats ass if it's hydro. Just shaved a CPL weeks off your harvest if you did it right but it didn't make it any more potent... Or special?!
I wanna get back to growing my bud so I know what I got and for once itd be nice if I could grow 12 or so plants legally. And I've designed on paper my supply list. 1000wt mh, 1000w hps. 8" cooling tubes dedicated to push cool air from an a/c cooled room makes the tubes so cool you can hold em in your hand... And the ventilation is separate. A 1000wt hps will kick out some bud. Idc if you wanna super crop 1or two plants. Or stack em in 3gal bags untopped sided by side. Pushing that cool air through the ligjts and into the attic makes it where you can get pretty close.... And then run normal ventilation with a scrubber. You know the deal.
I posted all this on another forumn. Was thinking about doing a two bedroom veg, flower set up cloning in the bathroom with the mothers under flouresents. And man I got eaten alive about these HIDs
Seems it's all LED now. Did some research and found a company, PLC.. their led that equals a 1000wt hps is $800. Damn. I mean yeah forget the ducting, the a/c, the 8"$80 fan. And I'm still $400 over.
Ok, ok, I am gonna do my research... But I learned pretty much how to grow and heal sick plants on icmag. So this feels like home. I can't seem to find but one thread I put up of mine. but I know there were many more. Images too. I'm getting off track.
So what do y'all think. Is it that much better to do away with the multilamp ballasts, and start learning to build boards with strips. Cause I'll be damned if I'm paying $800 for what I can do with a 1000wt hps. Electric will go down. But currently I'm only gonna run 2 or maybe 4 400 watt depending on the grow area.
