Yoop, glad to hear it. I'll be there, and I know you and Bozzo will, too.

Keef, the stuff I grow slaps me hard. I can't imagine LEDs doing the job any better than my MH/HPS lights do. With an eight by eight foot room with a 6000 BTU air conditioner in it, the heat doesn't factor in. They're a hell of a lot cheaper, too!
 
Hippie I didn't say other lights were inferior to LEDs !-- and they are expensive !-- It's the heat !-- which is wasted power !-- I don't have a seperate A/C for my grow either just a couple 6 inch fans and the fans on the LEDs -- get plenty air movement and temp runs about 81 in a walkin closet with 6 LEDs - 6 pumps - 2 air pumps and 2 -- 6 inch fans ! -- one end is my veg. / nursery and the other end has 4 boxes shoe horned into it ! each side has a light curtain of mylar I open during the day !-- I teed of the A/C vent and routed it to each side with 4 in PVC !
 
Why do I grow in a walk in closet ?-- Cause I haven't been able to talk RWS into letting me have that spare bedroom YET ! Later I plan to use the closet as a nursery and that bedroom as bloom ! Don't tell her O.K. !-- I'm thinking I'll get in the same amount of trouble if I'm busted with what I got now or 4 times as much !-- Told RWS if I got busted make sure the newspaper writes that I was growing high quality , high tech weed !-- might need a reference if I ever have to work in the weed biz.
 
Ya'll don't be breaking the law and stuff !-- I had a traumatic brain injury , P.T.S.D. and I'm crazy as I need to be !-- Been crazy so I'm good at it !

i like my leds even better in summer, but the metal halide helps me keep the building warm.
 
Hippie Mane it be summer 9 months out the year down here !-- Hey Ya'll now that I got that T.E. up I'm thinking about what to add next !-- thought I should ask the brain trust what they would recommend.-- it needs to be indica or an indica heavy hybrid - what do people in your area want ?--
 
Bhogart hash oil machine -- said to recover 95 % of solvent-- and extract 20 % more -- 1 lb. Size $1500-- Anyone know anything about it ?
 
i bet it is too, being it is a m59 400 watt metal halide high bay light. with white leds in the warm white range.

Nothing wrong with a magnetic ballast. They use a little more juice, but a new one will out live 99% of the OFC. A digital electronic ballast probably won't.
 
Magnetics are also serviceable.
 
Hey- I came up with a great idea this afternoon -- U know that box wine ?-- I think it should come with one of them sippy straws like a juice box !
 
No-No !-- Even better put liquor in juice boxes -- if U can't get the straw in the box -- U had enough !
 
keef,
That`s all you need, a one gallon wine/liquor box with a long straw on one side of your lazy boy and your pipe and stash box on the other. Later. Peace.
 
just be careful with de ballast, i know someone that had to change his because it was messing up his neighbor's tv, but not his and his was closer.

I live in an industrial park no neighbors to work about

i hear that brother, i wanted to go electronic but i never could scrape up the doe. i have a plan on some vero leds but the same thing, everytime i get some money in my pocket the wife says something to the effect. if i had x amount of money then i could pay this bill. i wish she was working but she is taking care of a older family member, and i would never stop her from that. so i do with what i can. i bought 2 new 400 watt mh high bay lights for $40.00 but will have to do something different this summer. now i got to get some more good soil.
 
And another morning dawns in the OFC. Good morning to all. What do we need this morning ? Ahhhh, yes, I know. Wake and bake time ya`ll. Join me and start the day off the OFC way. Later. Peace.
