 Plants Love it! |
| Review Date: January 30, 2010 |
| Reviewer: M. Wheeler, State of Confusion |
This product does work very well for growing medicinal herbs. My plants are growing very rapidly, as much as an inch a day on a 12 inch plant. The heat output is manageable: I have a 10" box fan pointed at the ballast that also circulates air in the grow room so the light stays cool, too. The design is no frills utilitarian, with long long power cords. The manufacturer also sells replacement bulbs for under $30 each. I believe this unit is an excellent value, and I plan to buy another one so that I can have one in vegetative mode (MH bulb)and another in bloom mode (HPS bulb) to maintain constant production. I highly recommend this product.
Update: I did buy the second unit and right now I have both using HPS bulbs finishing out my medicinal grow in soil. I sampled the product and give the results two thumbs up! Tiny clones to finished medicine in 90 days. With 2 400 watt bulbs and the two ballasts they do produce heat (all HPS and MH do). If you want to use these in a grow tent, you need to match the size (or number of lights) to the tent size and tent manufacturer's recommendations for the type of lights and the power/heat. Don't blame the light. Since a tent is confinement of space you will need positive ventilation. There is a very good reason why tents come with multiple vents for fans. |
Good Buy

| Not the highest quality, but more than enough for the price. Working with MH and HPS, plus including each bulb makes this price a STEAL. The seller was in state so I recieved the unit in about 4 days. |

Bought one and had an initial issue with the MH bulb going off by itself. Contacted seller and within an hour he sent the RMA form - I returned ballast and he replaced it promptly. Great merchant and very easy to work with. As it turns out, I think the issue is common to MH bulbs needing a "burn in" period.
Since then no issues and both bulbs work perfectly.
I am not a "Pro" and see no need to spend 2x for the same thing. While not the highest quality, it's OK as my income does not depend on it - I'm a hobbyist gardner.
I highly recommend it. Matter of fact, I just bought another unit. |
