i am growing in a closet and would like to not have any wires coming out of the door looking obvious.i have a small light with a globe in the top of the closet. i should have my 400w light from htg this week so im thinking take the light down cut off the cord and connect to the wires that where going to the light to the ballast?im sure its possible just dont wanna mess up new ballast
Make sure if the old wire have enough resistant for 400 watt. And of course ground connection.
I dont know if im picturing this right but they sell an adaptor that will screw in to a light socket that you can plug things into but they may be only 2 prong plugs. Sounds like a big time fire hazard unless you are an electricin. How bad is 1 wire comeing out? Keep in mind when it looks like you have the sun in your closet that can look a little more strange than a wire.
LOL! Ya got that right Blunter...I have a 400w with both a MH and an hps bulb...both very bright and run pretty hot too....sure grows nice stuff tho...:smokin: The hps makes my adjacent rooms look like a setting sun is in my house all day long...it's gonna have to be a pretty big closet to absorb all the heat from a 400 without some cooling, so I'd worry more about cooling the room than re-wiring it. Duct work is harder to hide than wire, and fans make noise and also require some electricity to run... A simple bulb socket to receptacle adapter is all you need to power your light if you have an existing fixture tho... :jointsmile:
the closet is behind the air handler there is a panel to access it inside my closet, if the heat or air or just the fan from the unit is on it pulls air very fast, and i can get 8 inches from top of plants with 400w hps without burning.my only question is how would i find out how much the ""FAN" function on the ac is to operate? it works almost too good could probobly lower 2 more inches sounds crazy but true!!
If you do that and use it for exhaust you will smell up your house. That's the return air. It blows back across the coil and into your supply duct. It's supposed to pull like that. It would work,though.. But stay away from the idea..Quote:

Messageboard Rules
"-Growing in the home of someone who is not aware of your growing activities. This includes parents or housemates who are on your lease. Dormitory growing is also covered under this rule."
Main reasoning behoind this rule, is that other's in your home have the right to know what potential felonies are being comitted in the home. Would be a bummer to have the parents or roommates home taken-away for your drug offenses. (if applicable, but this site does assume you are legal) Same with room mates.
I know I'd likely be fairly vindictive were I to lose my home or freedom, for your indiscretions. For that matter, I'd be REALLY pissed if you were to jury-rig a set-up that caught my home on fire.
i dont need to policed on a forum over the internet, i own my own home and would like some stealth, if i had anything in the closet that needed power i wouldnt run an extension cord as it looks tacky.i have set it up from the wires that originally where hooked up to a light, no jury rigging!!it isnt your job to police the forums get over yourself!!
Something tells me you wont be getting much more help around here
If there's one thing I've noticed about this particular site (and sites like this), is the SOLIDARITY. Everyone is here to help and they are, for the most part, very nice. If you don't read the rules and obide by them, you have only yourself to blame.
what rules have i violated i asked a simple question?i didnt ask how to grow ten pounds in a high priced rental home in florida! Some of you need to quit ridin dudes dick, talking about theres rules u cant break and stuff i asked how to wire a light to some wires thats it.im gonna go to another forum where there aint no dudly do rights trying to score points!!!
Aww...da widdle baby got his ego slapped. You poor, poor thing. How do you manage the God-awful humiliation...?
We have rules on this medical cannabis site. And we have people in here that appreciate the enforcement of those rules. This is not an anarchist society of undereducated socialists, and we are not a group of children sneaking tokes behind mommy's skirt. This is a group of adults discussing and learning the in's and out's of medical cannagardening and such.
Don't like it? Tough shit. We've seen your type come and go, and it's ok if you chose another site. Personally, I'm glad we're not stuck with the likes of you anyway. You seem to offer nothing but bad karma, yet want help in return. Hmm...:jointsmile:
alot of people on here are snobs, i dont have to be educated by you, tell me what i did wrong?you show ignorance by replying with such uneducated responses to a rule i never violated. im not a noob im not a kid sneaking tokes your probobly a 15 year old stealing pictures from other forums posting about experiences youve never had!!
The only person who is responding with uneducated responses, is you. On top of it all, you throw your immaturity into the situation and claim he steals photos and posts things he's never experienced. Because he just sits around on the computer for endless hours researching and aquiring knowledge about growing cannabis, strictly to gain the respect of the cannabis growing community . Yeah, that's it...Quote:

why are you riding his dick?who does he or you think u are u guys arent moderators and as i pointed out i wasnt asking how to grow pounds in a room.i didnt mention that anyone didnt know about the grow, just me and the wife who knows, so he came looking for trouble. everyone with negative responses needs to keep their words to themselves cause thier not constructive this is why herb isnt legal in this country i ask a simple question and get 6 posts about breaking a rule i never broke or accusing me of growing without someone aware.we cant even be civil with eachother!!grow up and quit trying to be the police
The impression was (and frankly...still is) that you were trying to grow in your bedroom closet without your parents permission. I pulled the sheets back a little, and found an immature little child that has learned somewhere down the line...that whining works. Whether you're an underage growing in your parents closet, or a teen living in your own house...your responses to the confrontation has been less-than-stellar.Quote:

If you'd prefer, I'll contact the mod(s). No big deal to me. But the more you speak, the more sophmoric this conversation gets, and the younger you appear. One way to get yourself isolated in this enviornment of enrichment, is to start throwing out childish insults and accusations. "Grow Up"? I've personally been growing my own meds for the past 7-8 years or so, and am approaching retirement age. My "growing-Up" happened many decades ago.
Oh...Almost forgot...Happy New Year. :jointsmile:
meanwhile, ....back at the ranch.:D
Well said.Quote:
