i see lots of people using 150's all around the board and decided we need a place to hang out together and learn from each other.

its easy all you need is a 150watt hps lamp and post some pics of your setup, everyone can join in and help each other out when needed. :thumbsup:

temps maintain whatever the room is at but usually low 80's throughout the entire grow unless its july then sometimes they can reach the 90's but that last for but 2hrs as i flower them at night time when temps are easier to handle.

i paid about 50 bucks for both with bulbs, made my own reflectors and so far so good.

thats a good price, but im not electrically inclined, this is a poultry/greenhouse light with a reflector. they have a mh too for the same price. i guess ill always be in this club, lol because i wouldnt let my light lay around doing nothing.maybe lowryders. but i am hopefully getting a 400w switchable after i finish this one. have the wings and cord (sunleaves). know any thing about it? thanks for inviting me,lol. it seems to be doing the trick though. love it so far.

Looking kick ass Invin.
I guess you can say I just joined the dual 150 club myself, IF... big if, if the cab can handle it. If not, it's going to the foster parent who will take the left overs, IF, there are any. :)
I'm in the process of boxing up the newly remote ballasts.

Perfect timing, I finally got the damn camera back!

I can't swing dual 150's right now, the cab's temp shot up with 4 42 watt CFLs with the 150 in there.

This is a cut and paste from my log.

As you can see, space is starting to get a lil cramped.

There is the reflector. Going to pick up a new bulb tonight, who knows how old the current one is, maybe 5-10 years.

CFL's are just tossed in right this minute. Need to work on ventilation, the (4) 42 watters that were in there just kill the temps, current ones are a 27 and 13 watt. I have a shit load of great CFLs to add, just not enough cooling.

Going to try to pick up materials for some cool tubes tonight.

1 pretty sick plant, all saggy. Most have tasted the nutes on the lower leaves, sorry lil plants, daddy got carried away while watering.
