Oh yeah, that is slim, nice. My SolisTek has got to be about two of those, I thought my old one was pretty big but, this thing is a beast! I just got it right before I started this last batch and I love it, paired it with a new Digilux bulb and I'm running her on the Solis-Boost setting. It's noticeably brighter on the boost setting so, I'm going with it.
Funny, the SolisTek is the only one I've seen with that boost over here, @mancdank makes it sound like it's typical on ballasts over there, I guess I'm gonna have to look at some again just to see if things have changed since I was looking at them. (Had my eye on the SolisTek for quite awhile, didn't feel the need to look at them when I got that.)

Lol dude this is my first upgrade in 6-7 years haha I'm still rocking a good ol euro reflector!!! I will start upgrading bits here and there in the future but for now I'm doing ok with what I got, if it ain't broken don't fix it :)

For sure......

I just found a knack for it. Went from a 4x4 to a 4x8. Then a whole basement. Now a whole greenhouse.... everything started from a tent in my bedroom.....

Goals man!!! I'd love to able to grow herb as a full time job that be pretty cool for me, I just love everything about it! From setup, equipment, environment, germing seeds, taking clones, vegging, flowering, harvesting, curing and consuming!! Lol everything

Why does the cost of equipment factor in? My grow more than pays for itself 3x over. Say I spend 6k.....I still make 12k for a 6lb harvest .....that's 6k profit..... equipment is paid for....next run will be 10k profit......

You spend $2000 to make 3lbs....6k for the harvest ....that's 4k profit.....say you do another run equipment paid for.....still only gonna make 5k......

I'm making almost double in the same space.... especially after the first harvest.....

Your setup profit from 5 harvests(one yr) is 24k


My setup profit from 5 harvests(one yr) is 46k
Your obviously massively missing the point out of the same power and much cheaper set up I can gain 50% from what your proposing it's not that difficult really it doesn't matter if it's for sale or personal it's still a extra 50% with less out lay if u don't understand this then not only are we not on the same page but we're singing from diffrent books all together

How when we are talking about a limited space? Your reasoning does not hold water.
I get more out that 4x8 space period. When you factor cost per gram to manufacture mine is cheaper. What about that makes your way better? Cause you spent less to get less?

After one round my equipment is more than paid for. The DE bulbs last a long time so all I am paying for is water, nutes, and electricity. That might cost me $1500 a harvest vs your $500 a harvest. BUT I HAVE 2X THE PRODUCT.

It's simple math

That said for the average grower two 600s are better than stuffing a tent with 3k+ watts. Easier to cool, less chance of burning tops, and less watering. If your not willing to outlay the funds for the equipment that is.......AC, Automated watering, co2, and more. I built up to that point over time.....only did 2 harvests in that tent before I blew out the whole basement......that was enough for about a year.....now I have a 20x40 greenhouse and a 14x16 veg room running over 16k

How is your way less when I get 50% more from less out lay ??? and ime u run out of juice before u run out of space and my original comment was really aimed at why the fuck would u waste so much power in such a short space when u could get 50% more ? I guess if u got limited space u got limited space no need to give more than they can take end of now I can see this convo going real sour real fast and I don't want it in this thread RG is a cool guy and doesn't deserve his thread fucking like this!

These are the fuckers :)
At some point you have to look at this stuff as just being aimed at the guy that has to always have the newest, latest, greatest thing, just looking to make a buck off whatever gadgets they can dream up.
That being said, it does look pretty damn cool!

My tent brings no money in.

I grow just for me.
But the money it saves me not buying off the streets is huge.

I'd say the 2k or so invested has saved me much more.
I've never figured it out but, I know my grow has way more than paid for itself by saving me from buying, it's been a very long time now since I've run out of weed, I've had enough to smoke or vape as much as I want and it's generally been better than what anyone around has or can get. That rather pleases me, the fuckin' gimp that's all screwed up is apparently kicking the asses of a lot of other growers around. :smug:

Lol, I totally get it and I'm not knockin' it! If something's working just fine for you then it can be real hard to get motivated to change anything.

I keep perving on the dimlux twin 315s there saying it covers a 1.5sqm and only 630W and there also claiming I can get the same or better than a standard 1000w digi ballast
They always will claim that LED , Cob etc
I started pretty much opposite from most , i went from large plant count grows indoor and outdoor to green house growing from 1200 plant grows multiple rooms down to 6 plants and even less now.
Everyone thinks its would be a blast doing some big grow operation.
I tell you its hard work your either cloning, mixing soil , transplanting, in all stages training plants , feeding plants were not talking just low volumes, your talking least how i did mixing 50 gallon feeds like 250 gallons per room hand watering ,
Or your trimming, and bagging , perpetual rooms .. its a fucking full time hard job
Its obviously not a one man job doing multiple rooms. at a large scale
The stress alone looking over you shoulder is tiring , because if you get caught your going away for a long time
