With all due respect, it’s Colorado the cops don’t care about your extra dozen clones.

Cops drive around all day for a living; I really wouldn’t sweat it. And if by some chance they were actually watching you, they don’t use marked patrol cars lol.

@dequilo I love it very much. I have two of them, they are 630 Duel ended CMH. One of their employees told me it is a reverse engineered gavita. Square wave ballast, no hum, consistent as can be and I couldn’t be happier with them. The spectrum is perfect at a 91 CRI. I also have two 1000w phantom DE HPS but they’re for 208-270 Volt and the rental we’re in isn’t wired for it.

They do look like a well made unit :slight_smile: I just use 70 dollar Chinese electronic ballasts and run

mostly double ended bulbs now

I am running a couple 600 watt single ended Lumateks that are from '05

I have ran a couple 630 CMH double ended for three or four flower runs they work very good

but I just use HPS now or mix HPS/MH

I have been inside for about 20 years so I have tons of equipment

I run all my stuff 220 it do es appear to run cooler and I can run more watts with less amps

would hate to burn my place down :frowning:

all the best and grow well

I wish I could run everything 220, it would make my life a lot easier. At least I have 20 amp for my grow area so I can comfortably run three lights. I’ve considered ordering Chinese quantum boards but I got a very good price on the green roosters. I’ve been growing indoors off and on for the last fifteen years so I’ve acquired a good amount of equipment too. I used to run the nexgen 1000w digital HPS and before that I would just use several 600w magnetic ballasts. I have a few led fixtures but a nice 480W Quantum board is still on my list. I like the CMH because of how heavy the trichome production I get with them is and I don’t really sacrifice weight I feel either. Ceramic has a come a long way so it’s worth it now. They also run much cooler than hps so my hvac system is pretty minimal with three tents. My single cherry banger is getting flowered under a magnetic ballast 600w once I fill that giant screen out with it though haha.

I grew in Bedrooms, Back porches, Hall closets

best thing I have ever done for my grow was build a grow room :slight_smile: with a 100 amp panel

now life does not get in the way of my growing. I have had uneven washer loads cause

ballasts to drop off the ceiling and crush plants in flower at 6 weeks :frowning:

I had to stop growing for a bit I had a cop calling neighbor move in but she died of cancer

so when I started back up I built a room in a building I have

it is 8 foot by 16 foot and I need to build on another 8 x 16 so the room will be

16 foot by 16 foot

best thing I have ever done, I did do a flower run last fall in a 4 by 8 tent but it is not for me

it was like growing in a ziplock bag

you tent growers a tip of the hat :slight_smile: kudos you have skills

I could never get the air flow down so I fought bud rot

all the best and grow them big
