[Sin inc]

[Sin inc]

yes I don't know why that cost so much. when I got it home I took it apart to see what's in inside. just a t12 4 bulb ballst and a switch

Nice buy...

That would be a good light for puytting over a cloner, but I wouldn't use it for anything else. the reason is that it is only putting out about 5000-8000 lumens, and the color spectrum is only good for rooting plants as it is "full spectrum"(5500K) and has the more blue end light filtered out, which means it doesn't have the spectrum of light(6500K) that is most needed for veg growth. It has the middle and lower Kelvin light which is only good for rooting at that level of lumens.

I'm sorry if I sound like I'm dissing yer good buy It would make a very good cloner light.

 

[Sin inc]

ok so i did some reseach on the bulbs and ballst . the bulbs are t8 31 watts ,2600 lumes each

bringing total lumes to 10,400 and total watts 124 watts
ballst says ho t8-t12 4 bulb rapid start ballast.

which brings me 1200 lumes under a t5 using 4 28 watt 5000k bulbs

 

[Sin inc]

i have always used 5000k for veg hush its works for me

 

[ShOrTbUs]

i would just buy some 6500k replacement bulbs, but if you like 5000k go for it. 10k lumens covering about 3 sq ft, u can veg a few plants under that no prob. good pick up

 

[Sin inc]

thanks shortbus good looking out man I will look into the 6500k bulbs

 

[Hushpuppy]

Hey Sin, I really didn't mean to sound like I was dissing your light. That really is a great buy for $7. I was seeing where you said it had T12 bulbs and they just don't put out much. If it can take the T8 or T5 then you definitely got something to work with. I agree that you can grow under 5500K light but it isn't the most efficient spectrum of light for growing MJ. If/when you get some 6500K bulbs you will see the difference that I'm talking about (not only from my own experience but from all that I have read on the subject).

 

[Sin inc]

hey hush you know your my bro i never had any hard feelings I know u was just looking out for me. the bulbs are ubend t-8's

 

[johnnylongjohns]

i have always used 5000k for veg hush its works for me

Wrong vegetative light spectrum. It does matter.

 

[Sin inc]

well mister johnny all you have to do is look at my journal and see what the plants have to say about it. but thanks for having my back. what may not work for u may work for the next man. (5000k spec)

 

[7greeneyes]

Man I use a freakin office fixture from Boeing circa 1980 with the original ballast. It has 3x40watt flouro's that I retrofit with growlux lamps, so yes, rooting clones would be very easy using Sin's light because they barely need any light, the point is to push rootgrowth not veg growth, and that only necessitates a small amount of lumens ime.

My 400watt MH is for the strong Veg.

Great buy/find Sin Inc :aok:

 

[Sin inc]

thanks for stopping in greeneyes . but green eyes ids right i only leave them in veg for about a 4 weels then into flower they go since i am only using cfls right now i really dont want my plants to get to big before i put them into flower. most of my plants dont get bigger then 12-24 inches

 

[johnnylongjohns]

Wow Mr. Sin ! You really are the "Man" ! Glad you got it down ! 12" to 24" inches? Dime bags or bales? You grow on Dude!
