I had done just that originally. T5 ballasts can be had for under $20 used on ebay. Mine supported 2x 54W T5 4' bulbs. 2 of them and 4x bulbs mounted on a perf cardboard 2x4' all for under $100. Same setup at the dro store is nearly $300 A note, I did end up picking up the smaller...

gudkarma, my old T5s were how you described and HO bulbs were 54W I believe. Was at a 'box store' yesterday, the smaller 2' T5 bulbs were 28W and 4' T5 34W respectively. My personal opinion, the 34W T5 are damn bright. Not quite as intimidating as the HO, but FWIW I love T8 bulbs, and...

Really? will the HO lamps burn as bright as they would in an HO rated ballast?

You need to buy bulbs for the ballast that you decide on. If you budget is limited, try the T8 fixtures, and bulbs at walmart. 2700K for flower, 6500K for veg. four T8s will support a small veg grow But if you don't wanna mess around go with T5s from the growshop all around. Great...

While I agree with Mr.GoodCat, you would be 'better' vegging with 54watt t5 bulbs if you want faster growth rate and overall better performance out of your plants. You can use as little or as much light to veg, understand that it will limit the plants' potential regarding growth rate...

What's up with the silica?

:facepalm: that doesn't sound like a very good idea, never knew of anyone actually screwing up their garden with sulfur burner. The theory behind its use, and the practice of treating with 'heated' or 'burning' sulfur (we don't actually burn the dang sulfur guys) this is really a very simple...

Hi ninj do you recall how heavy the pots were, or a reference weight, immediately after being watered? Are they substantially lighter now? I'd suggest to water them, going off of the information you gave us when you say "They were fine this morning about 7 am..now about 5 hours later...

Very nice! Enjoy that for us all!!

At what point can a member reply to a private message? says I can only pm an admin?

his sulfur burner was made of aluminum? I mean, to burn through the sulfur, and burn an aluminum can, we are talking pretty dang hot for an extensive period of time.... Did he leave it on for a week or what?

Thank you, Has anyone ever burnt off all the sulfur completely? It may be possible, but I've never seen it happen. If your manufactured and purchased sulfur burner is too hot the sulfur can catch fire, so again I think the point to be taken is to KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. Aluminum...

Az per usually you rocking it!

Jalisco nailed it, mine is manufacturer purchased. It is a tin can, with coil heating element suspended at the bottom of the can. A smaller tin/al dish in suspended in the can above the element, with the ability to raise lower for more/less heat to the sulfer. Kitchen science. Once you...

another one waiting for an update

How are we all doing today? to my friend, I cannot seem to reply to your message via pm, glad to see you are still kicking about.

Hey if any of you cats know anyone involved in this, see if there has been any motion of discovery, then we should see some light on how they put this together.....

I was experiencing some issues with plants, getting a twist or a curve laterally on the fan leaves, a little discoloring, sporadic yellowing, no pattern to it.... Just from doing some looking we all were thinking it was TMV, or maybe ToMV Limeygreen that's the first I've seen that acronym so...

Account for a good 90 days of growing season and you have a good chance.... though some sativas or even stubborn indicas may want/need to go longer. Good luck, the season is ever changing and dictating how late we can keep things out around here....some seasons get a month or more...

Thanks kid for the read... Always appreciate any contribution from Dj. Thanks again :damnhippie:
