150w HPS Club and Resource Guide......

Hello IC Posters, Casual Browsers, and Former OG Members. Welcome to the 150w HPS Club and Resource Guide. Back in the day, when this club existed on "OG", we had the honor of being one of the most viewed and actively posted threads on the site. I hope we can continue this tradition in our new home, and that we will be able to share our experiences and knowledge with each other and the larger community for years to come. Please feel free to jump in and post, even if you are not currently using a "150". All we ask is that the conversations try to stay relevant to our core purpose.

So welcome aboard, enjoy your visit, and most of all GROW SMART & GROW SAFE ! ! !

As you make your way thru the world of growing, you will learn many things. Every now and then you may come across a truely excellent resource, one that many growers have found usefull. The following is a list of such links. We have no association with any of them and offer them up based on their own merit. They are only posted if several folks have either delt with them or found their products to be well suited for our needs. If you have suggestions, please feel free to send them to me in a PM and include a brief one-line explaination.

As for this thread? Kewl!! I remember the club,, I loved it.
I was a lurker at OG, my handle was dociron, I seldom said anything there.
Your club was great, I look forward to seeing it regrown.
I'm not sure there was anything like it here though, :chin:
Here the grows are divided a bit differently, indoor soil,
indoor hydro, outdoor,, hmmmmm.
I have a feeling we're gonna see a lot of new stuff here...
:woohoo:
It's gonna be great!! :wave:

Hey Pipedreams and gang!

You guys don't know me but i know your work and your thread convinced me to go back to a 150w from a 400w. I lurked at OG but i'm willing to contribute now. I personally believe that a 150w is sufficient to keep two people in supply at all times with a little extra for hash and cooking. It's all in using the light efficiently.

Let's contribute to icmag, since they have been generous enough to take us in.

Well, I'm glad a few former members and a couple of new ones have found us. However, I have to admit, I was expecting a bigger turn-out.

Another thing that's really strange is looking at my name and avatar and realizing that folks think I'm a noobie. While it didn't matter to me while I had them, it is kind of disappointing to see that I've lost the long string of Karma that I had and the thousands of posts I was credited for. Well, I guess we're all in the same bag now. The only thing to do is pitch in and help out here as we make this our new home.

If any of our former members are in contact with you please let them know where we are and ask them to stop by. Also, lets get our asses in gear and add some posts here and get our own individual threads going.

REMEMBER, WE WERE ONE OF THE MOST VIEWED THREADS ON OG !!!!

As always, Grow Smart & Grow Safe

I was going to be a member of the 150w club :p sorta. I bought my 150w HPS security light (and ordered AK-48's.. hadnt grown in a year!) the day OG was down (thinking it was odd but it would be back up soon) and i wanted to make a remote ballast, now i cant! and the thing is fricken huuuuuuuuuuge so i dont know how im going to hang it in my tiny 'lil closet with my 70wHPS too.

Nice things to look foward too though, i see :) niiiice
