Most digi ballast over here can run at 660 bro from the very expensive to the very cheap I can get a digi ballast shade and bulb for £65 atm they go from 250w to 660wYou must have a SolisTek ballast, huh? The Solis-Boost setting gives that extra 10% boost from your bulb, that's what I'm running in my flower tent.
Oh yeah, keep forgetting he's over there, lots of things are different. Most digital ballasts are adjustable but, most don't give you that extra 10% setting like the SolisTek, over here anyway.Most digi ballast over here can run at 660 bro from the very expensive to the very cheap I can get a digi ballast shade and bulb for £65 atm they go from 250w to 660w
The guys at gavita seem to think so who the fuck am I to argue with them guys :)I wonder.
When you air cool a light you lose a certain % of light produced and spectrum changes.
If you run the %10 boost while air cooling... would the bulb just act as if it were in a non air cooled environment at %0 boost? Just costing you more electricity?
I wouldnt raise the wattage bro just lower the reflectorI ain't very technical tbh lads lol all I know if they looking healthy and fat I'm a happy Gardner lol so been checked on them just now and temps are at a nice an cool 75*F that's at the 600w setting and I'd say the bulb is well over 24" from canopy :) so what I'll do is whack it up to 660 just over the 5 week mark and cruise from there will be interesting to see how I get on yield wise in the end!
I'll do that then mate I was thinking one or the other :)I wouldnt raise the wattage bro just lower the reflector
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.@Papa Indica this is the one dude so slim and light compared to the magnetic ballast lol

I can get these for £65 for the complete kit so really for penny's compared to what they wasOh yeah, that is slim, nice.

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.)
I can get similar stuff at the same price point, the SolisTek was a bit more though.I can get these for £65 for the complete kit so really for penny's compared to what they was
I use lumatek and maxibright mostly tbh. I like the end of bulb life detection on the maxibright takes all the guess work out of if the bulb needs a changeI can get similar stuff at the same price point, the SolisTek was a bit more though.
Hell yeah, that's an awesome function for it to have. Got me a little bummed now, I want that! lolI use lumatek and maxibright mostly tbh. I like the end of bulb life detection on the maxibright takes all the guess work out of if the bulb needs a change
These are the 1s I'm trying now I was given some bad info on 400v tech I should have just gone with my gut so I'm guna give em another runHell yeah, that's an awesome function for it to have. Got me a little bummed now, I want that! lol
Nice, have you read up on the SolisTek at all? It's a very nice ballast, also can run single or double ended bulbs, which is a plus, the only thing I could say is that end of bulb life thing would be a great addition.These are the 1s I'm trying now I was given some bad info on 400v tech I should have just gone with my gut so I'm guna give em another run
I haven't tbh I will do though I'm always fucking around with new gadgets lol have u seen the dimlux gear with the controller ? u can get a heat camera gun thingy that u point on the leaf and it will adjust the room to get the exact vpdNice, have you read up on the SolisTek at all?

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......How is it cheaper just because it's in a smaller space u have already clarified that your using more juice and that mine off the same amount of juice and a lot cheaper equipment gives me 50% more bud than u which is also rock hard bud and no other bullshit so u can slice and dice all u want with a lot less cash I can return a lot more that's it
