help a vert-noob, how to safely hang my barebulb and other ?'s

[Born Loser]

I'd get the 150 rockin, you could always throw in the 400 once the plants are established and see how it goes.
What beans are you doing? Quality... Hmm.. Looking? Tasting? Sleep weed? Speedy weed? Cbd? Med? Or 'dude I'm so high'?

yeah wish I wasn't a dumbass and ordered the wrong bulb when I ordered my replacement. Oh well that fixture was shitty. No one ever buy the "all-in-one" 150w fixtures. They blow.

I am going to order the 150w ballast very soon and should have it rocking by next weekend hopefully.

I already have a few plants flowering out under 110w PL-L but they are not as happy as could be.

Have some BKGK Bx1, CBxDB Bx1, Chemmy Jones, RedEyed Genetics Beast Mode tester, and a Bagseed. i think that is everything...

Sounds like a good smattering of genetics

yeah man that's what I have in flower now but they will not be fully up to potential due to all the complications... I have clones of everything though except for the Beast Mode Tester...

I ordered a 150w Galaxy Ballast yesterday. Hopefully I will have it by Friday or sooner. I will be hanging my bulb Vert for the first time. Can't wait to try out vert finally. I will be starting up a new thread because this one is just a mess...

See you guys in a few days...

Alright got the ballast all set up and the bulb hung... Need to put up the trellis netting and stop fucking around and 100% seal off the cab from all light leaks and then we will be good to go!

I am going to start a new thread in the next few days. Would you guys rather me post here in the Vert section or the micro section since I am only running 150w? Would love to hear everyone's opinion. I have a great feeling about this grow by the way... seeing the bulb hanging vertically with all the plants around it... I started to get REALLY happy!

Here is a pic of the bulb hung and everything...

There are some empty spots in the room, They will be filled up soon... there are also two males in the room which will be removed after they have served their purpose...

I am slacking, I still haven't put up the Trellis netting yet, but I figure we got atleast a few days before they start growing into the bulb...

How does it look guys?

Technically your thread would fit well in either sub-forum SS. Personally I don't care, just leave a link here when you get it started

 

[soursmoker]

you know I can't just leave you vert guys hanging...

I promised bobble there would be a thread... it's not the 400/600/1000w one like I thought it would be... but I still came through with a thread... haha here's the link...

With a chain. If you hang the lamp from the cord, over time the cord stretches from the heat and gravity... I use straight romex with a mogul socket, but you can use pre-fab cordsets if you like.

Thanks for this bobblehead...small details like this are what I need to learn

 

[Skyrancher]

Insulated ducting.. Kills so much noise and reduces lots of heat...
A good tip... if 6" fan.. use 8" ducting as this will reduce noise even more.

This noob is learning even more....thanks for this thread and for contributing Dawg.....Thanks for DHF as well, who has been one of the biggest helps for my learning.

And bite me bobble let the cord stretch. Mine will be longer than yours. Might not work for long but mine has been longer than yours now for over a year and a half.

Lmao... I can't even make fun of your weed anymore cause its not bad... Its not mine but its not bad.

Long and floppy is no good. Better to be a little shorter and have some girth. It improves flow.
