[Gizliadam]

Hello guys, i m very starter to grow these babies. i read many things in the forum but i'm really confused about choosing the right bulbs, cuz i cant find everything that i look them to buy. i asked many electric shop to buy bulbs which i saw them on some suggestions but i cant find.
Anyway i found these bulbs finally but i wanted to be sure if they r correct bulbs for my purpose. i'm gonna buy

Philips MASTER HPI-T Plus 400 Watt E40 SLV 4500k for vegetation period (as MH)
and
Philips MASTER SON-T PIA Green Power 600 watt for flowering period (as HPS)

and here r my plants, i grew them without any lamb. Pls some advice.. This is my first time for doing this. :(

A lot of people use the same lamp for flower and veg. If money is an issue I would just get the 600w HPS and use it for both. MH does work good for veg.

If money isn't too big a issue you could even get a dual ballast and have both lights run off the dual ballast and use the MH for veg and the HPS for flower!

thank you guys, you made me feel all right. money is not a big issue at the moment, i'll just stop paying for weeds to dealers. i payed a lot, thats enough. but i wont use both of them at the same time, cuz its electricity,, lets save the world :D
at the last, i decided to buy 1000w mh. and other hps is same...

next job is growing area :D

Gonna need some serious ventilation to cool that 1000w mh! Save the world indeed! LOL

Best of luck to you! You will get some huge buds if you get everything right :thumbsup: Let us know how things go :jointsmile:

You could make a cooltube to help with the heat form the 1000W bulbs...Don't know if i'm allowed to put another forum link but this is the one I've read about on how to make DIY: Cool Tube

LOL my thoughts exactly!


1000watt MH is well.... a metric f***-ton (am i allowed to swear on these boards? :p) for what looks like 4 plants in the first post lol. nothing at all wrong with that, but maybe a little overkill lol. this could be upwards of over 25k lumens per plant! and assuming you are doing to do 1000 watt HPS for flower.. .. well they output what? 150k lumens-ish? thats 37.5k lumens per plant! damn, that should produce some pretty damn fat buds lol

like everybody already said, i gotta say +1 to watch your heat :)

[killerweed420]

Yeah I would gp for a 600w instead. They are more efficient and create a lot less heat. If you decide to go with the 1000w start researching an air conditioner, because usually fans just aren't enough.

[filo6942]

1000 watt is a great light bulb for your plants, but you need to have room for it, and cooling!

[frostedwonder]

I went with a switchable 400 watter and I am pleased. The 600w wasn't too much more with hood and all but I don't really have the biggest bloom box . I would love to get 1k but damn thats some heat and electric sucker...:)

[Gizliadam]

i decided to buy 400 w cuz i cant solve that heat problem. i found osram 400w plantastar bulb. Here is my little room and two female plants. there is a ventilator behind me when i take pics. its parents bathroom in my bedroom which is converted to growing factory :p

[syde00]

yeah, i kinda got the impression that you weren't a young person doing it in their parents home without their knowledge...but you can never know!

glad to hear that though :thumbsup:
