High all, just wondering how much roughly it would cost to run a 400 watt light for 12 to 15 houres a day? The location of the light is melbourne and i can ste the timer to run the houres at any period (off peak times). Any ideas? Would be really appreciated.

This is a very simple job and will allow any cheap timer to switch up to 10 amps of current without the degradation of the contacts due to the transformer ballast. Hope this helps a bit. http://forums.www.planetskunk.com/files/strengthening_a_cheap_timer.jpg http://forums.www.planetskunk.com/files/where_to_place_capacitor.jpg http://forums.www.planetskunk.com/files/capacitor_soldered_inplace.jpg http://forums.www.planetskunk.com/files/finished_timer.jpg THanks to THwizH20 for permission to post this awesome tip here. :thumbsup :thumbsup

Hi all, Just been over a friends house who is right into marine reef fish tanks and he has 4 x 4' VHO fluro lights running off a special ballest. Each fluro if rated at 110w for a total of 440watts. Would be great to try one of those for a grow! The brand of ballest was "ice cap" and he got them frow america over the internet, direct from there website - they wiring them 240v for ozzie use.

Guys (and gals) I need your help. During a recent house move a timer malfunction caused mother to flower. I quickly took new clones ,and as suggested here, put them under 24 hr light until they kicked on. They are ready to come out of the clone box, but when put into the grow box will the 18 hrs. I normally grow at turn them? Need some advice soon. Bazza 7 n.b. have let mother go on her way and she is producing some very handy buds so it hasn't been a total disaster. :thumbsup

Hi, I have one 400w sunmaster kit in my grow room at the moment.. currently its over six plants 1ft tall, few days into flower.. Im pushing about 200wpsqft at the moment.. and Id like to keep light intensity at around 100wpsqft if I can. Either: I can buy a 400w kit and have 2x 400w's.. or sell my 400w and buy a 600w, or a 1kW. Now, I dont mind paying the bill for the 1kW, but would 2x 400w's do just as good? Or just get a 600w? My grow area is currently 6' x 6'.. but I am only really working with 2' x 1.5' at the moment, but will need to make it bigger soon. I find the 400w is good for 3' x 3' maybe.. but light intensity of the 400w is crap. Im on a budget here, so I…
