Hi fishface,

Most big stores price match, so lowest price shouldn't be the #1 deciding factor. ATIC is infamous for their prices, but also infamous for the lousy customer service, terrible...

Hi Steve,





These aren't constant current power sources at all. You are probably confusing these magnetic ballasts with electronic ballasts (which are constant current). Ballasts are just...

Do you know what kind of 250W MH are you using? 10K? 14K? How old are they? SPS colouring is also dependent on the temperature of your lamps.

Hi,

About 2 to 3 years ago, we used to have a mentorship program at Canreef. I used to mentor along with several others on the board. I am sure we can restart that program.

Hi,

Plants love lower temperature lamps (plants don't know what to do with actinics). So, regular cool white or warm white are just fine (warm white is better though).
