are you going to use that 1000w mh in your rubbermade box? That light requires at least an area equal to 5x5x6.5 feet. Thats a big light. as long as you can vent it. Whats the condition of everything. Is it a digital ballast? they conserve less electricity. what is the gph on the pump? what type of system? ebb and flow I take it. are the bulbs new?
Well, I'm thinking I'kk try to get it all without the 1000w, because I don't need it. But I'd really like to have the HPS for flowering.
I will make sure to ask all these questions. It was a direct copy and paste from a craigslist listing. I sent him an email o see if he still has it since it was listed like 4 days ago. And if he does I'll ask all these questions.
Thanks.
you will love that hps. But you can't use it in the rubbermade cabinets. You need an area at least 3x3x5 feet i would think for that light. they run hot and put out over 30,000 lumen's which is a lot of head. will melt a rubbermade container.
Well, I don't think I'll do my next grow in a rubbermaid container. And I'm going to stack two on top of eachother, so its more like 2X3X4 If all goes well, I wanna start maybe a walk in closet operation.
Maybe take the door knob off and stick a book shelf bigger then the door in front of it. stealthy
Well I got a reply, so here were the answers
1. Everything is in good condition.
2. The ballasts are all standard, not digital.
3. It's a larger pump, approximately 800 gph.
4. The parts are all from an ebb-and-flow table. The table is not included (it was custom built from wood and not salvageable).
5. The bulbs have approximately 9 months of use on them at 12 hours a day, 7 days a week (3240 hours).
What would be a good offer?
I say wait. After 3 months of use the lumen's drop on all HID bulbs. Most replace them after a year so they sound like they need to be replaced. Sounds like the set-up was custom built so it might not be suitable to your needs. If you plant on making a concealed closet grow, then i would get a digital ballast. The hum from a standard one tends to get louder over time. Not only will you save money on electricity with an electronic one but the hum will be reduced greatly. I also thing a digital one runs cooler as well so less heat in the grow room. I would almost use your boxes that you made for veg and use your closet for flowering. finding a proper table for that might be a pain too. 800 ghp for a small one is a bit overkill. You can find deals all day long so if you pass one up don't worry. You can make a wonderful dwc unit that might be a little better for first time growers.
You need to plan on getting a ph meter as well. having a TDS meter can also help.
thats my .02 cents.
Cheers!
Awesome, thanks so much! I'd give ya some more rep, but it says I have to spread it around some first.
