from the ballast housing to something metal at the bulb, like the mount, reflector, etc.
You might want to inspect the ballast's power cable to make sure it's also grounded.

Wow, that's a lot more light. You'll prolly yield a half-pound a flip with that setup.

matt, those wide leaf plants will stink at some point in time. Some will detect it from a block away...others will only know it's there somewhere when they enter the house.

Finally my pictures uploaded after 2 weeks of trying!!

White Skunk(rear left)-day 44
Purple Dragon(rear right)-day 34
Helix(front right)-day 13
i did some research on Purple Dragon since i did not know what the genetics could of been, and i came up with , Purple Kush X Blue Domina, has the structure of pk, and has the aromas from the blue domina. havent seen any purple coloring, not keeping as cold as it should be to bring out them colors. but her structure and aromas are beyond imagination, cant wait to see this lady at the peak of flower.
As for the white skunk , i think she has about 2-3 weeks left,calyxes are swelling nicelyy..
stay fligh 150 club!!

lOOKIN DANK WHAT NUTES ARE YOU USIN?
Here is one cut i took from the middle of the plant the ones from the middle have shown signs of grow in the roots the fastest its day nine from cut and they have been showing roots for about 3 days now.the tops havent shown roots as of yet but i can feel them in there im guessing the next 2 days and they will be visable along with the small cuts i took from the very bottom not showing signs yet either. any advise if the hid is to much power for these small barley rooted plants? Im soaking this rockwool cube right now.id really like to try hydro soon.im always super bizy and never have the time to sit there and build one.i know they are easy to make ...im guessing lol but this rockwool grow will come out purty nice if i studied up on this the way i think i have.
this is the very last of the purple kush bud i have left it still smells super sweet and taste great i have 3 months left untill i get more.

My friend security is my number one Concern. Carbon filter , Inline fan. got everything blowing out of a skylight out of the 2nd story. Im up stairs. Two doors seperate my living quarters from bottom of the house so no one downstairs knows anything all they smell is the dank pot being burned down there..LOL
Well its not really evident because i did so much switching around yesterday. but when i had the whole 250 unit and the 150 it was around 88 and today with the 250 remoted and the 150 in there too i was runnin 82. So 6 degrees give or take a degree. when i first turned both of them on when i posted earlier it got warm quick but then temps leveled off and i think i can go with all 400w. Tomorrow will be a wait and watch day tryin to fine tune so my temps dont get too hot
so i guess this means so long to the 150 club as im not a 150'er anymore.
thanks for all your help friends. and keep god's earth GREEN!!!

I THINK it took 6 days not 3 i wish i could get mine to root in three days too lol the cuts i took from the top took 10 days to show roots on the bottom idk if i should grow the tops cause they are larger or the mid cuts cause they rooted faster?thanks dv.
