iv got my 7 ladies(wishful thinking lol) vegging under a normal 5' fouorescent seems to be doing the trick, I can get them right down close, theres virtually no heat off them
Im looking for HPS for flowering but thats not gonna be for another few weeks. Im a lighting technician by trade so i was thinking about making up something myself, i hav an electronic ballast that comes out of a Mac250 moving head light, they take a 250w discharge lamp, but im no electrician and i cant ask any of the ones that i do know..they'd be askin too many questions
