As the founder I thought I'd finally post up a pic of my cab!

Its not that big but has a 70wHPS and two 26w 6500K CFLs on either side. My temps sit around 75-80 right now w/o any smell filtration.

edit: btw I have about another 18" to lower the plants for growth.

i have 1 plant in scrog with 70w hps. grow's fast as hell.

1 bad thing is, i have to use scrog to get bigger yield. i wanna grow my plants without scrog but i need better growroom and more light.

AND if i put more light in my growroom, theres gonna be heat problem, because it's stealth.

^^^^ the woes of the micro grower! I feel ya man.

So this is my S1 after 14 days since the cotyledons sprouted.
I put a dime in there to give you an idea of size. I think this plant may turn out to be a dwarf because of one of the cotyledons falling off in the beginning of its life.



I fed it yesterday with the ever so smallest amount of Grow Nat. I put 1mL into a gallon, shook it up than put 16oz of that into a 32oz bottle with RO water in it. Than I watered my little S1 til overflow.

It looks quite healthy IMO!

instead of a scrog you could always do a sog, i like sog more and more because you'll harvest more often and you can keep your cab filled up , and dont spend to much time vegging

can someone show me a pic of the 70hps wiring diagram?

Well this is a link from the 150wHPS club that I used.

its a lot more simple than it looks because they have used a security lamp with a light sensor. Just forget about that. I disassembled my 70wHPS security lamp that was bought at Home dePOT with just a flat and phillips head screw driver. rewired it with longer wires from a heavy duty extension cord so that the ballast and ignitor were out of my cab (remote ballast) and I used the shell of the security lamp to hold my 'electronics'.
Than wired up the plug to where you would normally hard wire it into a houses current.
I used the reflector that came inside the shell and havent looked back since!

This little lamp puts off a ton of light!

my 70w ballast is a little different , it has no ignitor, just a cap, so do i wire it like a mh?
