Naw, not digital. I don't want to be a beta tester and the 1k digital ballasts out there haven't been around that long, so I decided to go with the old technology this time and got this:

No real prob with it, although it's huge and heavy at 44 pounds. The ballast didn't seem to get all that hot, and the hum is muted enough that I can't hear it over the fans.

The reflector (which is quite nice!) is this one:

I don't really get too fancy with nutes, FoxFarm Ocean Forest soil, FoxFarm Grow Big (veg), Big Bloom (flower) and Tiger Bloom (flower). I have some other stuff laying around, but if the plants don't start screaming for something, I just try to keep it simple. They're usually happy with just those nutes generally.

One reason that I like the hut is I can take it down in the summer if I want to. Since I doubt I'll be able to run that 1k light in the summer, I could just tear it all down and box it away until the fall/winter. I'll still have my other box during the summer, which is situated much closer to an AC unit, but might as well make use of this extra heat in the winter!
jamstigator Reviewed by jamstigator on . Jamstigator versus Big Mama! I got some freebie seeds in 2005, Durban Poison x Skunk #1. Well, I tried to germinate them in April 2006, all ten of them, but only one sprouted. (I guess they're free for a reason.) It's a Sativa-dominant strain, and I'm kinda height-constrained, so I almost killed this plant a number of times, but couldn't bring myself to do it, so it vegged for nigh six months in a 1/2 gallon pot. It got rootbound and droopy, but kinda big even so. I FIM'd it, got three main stalks, and pruned for yield a Rating: 5
