    Any body else use these?
    It's my first HPS! Now I can retire my MH bulb (save it in case of emergency
    of course).

    Just installed it!
    I'm excited. :devildance:

    Thanks yall


    That's what I was looking for!


    Now I too can post Orange pics!:qbluewacko:


    Just waiting to see the yield difference!


    It's clearly more intense than the 38,000lm MH. That bulb did right by me, but I've got to see the difference for myself:)


    Might stretch more?


    So this is the last thing that I could use as a yield excuse, like on my last grow...ppl seemed to think there should have been more there but I could say well hey, I'm not using an HPS...:qbluewacko: Before that it was...well this is Bag Seed... Now I'm ready to set some personal records!


    I guess 6oz is my next goal but it is only a 19"x29" space.


    Thanks to all who responded!

    It's always fun growing and expanding. :)


    Just wait...soon you'll be thinking about a 600W and then it'll be a 1000W. I know it makes my pee pee hard thinking about what I could do with a 1000W light if I ever got the chance. I'd say :qshatter: to the old 430W in a heartbeat.

    Grat nice to see your op expanding. HPS is def the way to do things. your op is about the same size as mine except i cut the shelves of my closet and moved the center divider over about 4 inches. I have been looking at houses lately since i am in the market. I walk around and seriously look for where i would put my grow op. There was a nice 3 bdrm in my price range but it was only a block away from a school not good with the whole 1000ft school zone max. penalty thing. But i cannot wait to have at least a 6x8' room at my disposal. I will now daydream... DSP

    ...congrats grat...


    ...Yes, in answer to yer' question...


    ...I have a 400w hortilux setup with a hydrofarm hood...


    ...Bottom line...in a 4x4 or 5x5 or even 6x6 area of production...your setup will work wonders...


    ...Good on you...nice advantage headin' yer' way...


    ...cheers, grat!...

    I had a 430w hortilux forever. I loved that lamp. I like the aspect of getting it down close to the tips, and sweating the trichs out of those buds.


    I have a 1000w lamp now. I'm still learning its nuances, but I often wonder? would I have been better served? buying another 400? or going with two 600w? based on the above? :icon_confused:


    I had that lamp forever!!! I still got it, laying around, collecting dust now.


    I don't know what to do with it, with my T-5 set up?


    You'll like that set up. :suave:
