ok goin to be buying my new light in just a few weeks (yay!) and i want to get the 600 watt but is InsideSun safe to buy from? i heard of the dea having records of everyone who buys lights from them from other forums and stuff. and seeds are those safe to buy? i really want to do this the right way so any advice you guys could give me would be great.
strains? whats everyones fav strain to smoke? and are the nirvana seeds any good at all or just a waste of my time? any comments appreciated, thanks.

Hey bro I got my lighting from InsideSun too... was happy with the product, although shipping could have been a bit quicker (took almost a week and a half!)
I have heard the same thing about the record keeping and paper trails but I dont believe one product would make them suspicious...
I did use a CC but the best way is dont get all your stuff from one place, spread it out at different stores and unless you can't, always, always give them cash, its the only real safe way of doing business...
Just throwing my 2 cents out here :2cents:

Dooby made some good points.
I grew out some Nirvana seeds for my first time, Stanley. I enjoyed the smoke, and the plants, and don't belive anyone who says Nirvana has shitty genetics. However, i'm sure the seeds werent made with the same care as a more expensive breeder, and I was harassed by hermaphrodites.
Coming from someone who bought his first HPS light a few months back.. Make sure ya get remote ballast. What a pain in the balls it is to have one of these enclosed sytems. Just can't ever do anything with it, w/out a hassle.

Hey Stan.... are ya any good at assembling thangs? If so you may wanna look at a light ya can "Build" yourself... much cheaper...It's eazy Smeezy ta do!
:electric:
I'm not sure about the Insidesun "Rumors".... could jus be a rumor... could be true, ya never know,
As we all know well enough, "The Man" can be a sneeky bastard. :(
Nirvana seeds.... as long as you're talking "Nirvana Seeds" and not :haha: Gypsy Nirvana Seed Boutique.
Although... 'GN Seed boutique' may be operated by someone else these days....
I haven't kept up on that Story... Waaay tooooo much DRAMA!!! :offtopic:

would money orders be safe or not? ive never sent one lol i was thinking of sending cash snail mail to dr chronic - and using money orders for the light.
how much more heat does the 600 watt make compared to the 400? would it make the buds a whole lot denser or just bleach them? ill be using a 3 foot by 3 foot space, probably 4 foot tall, maybe a little more. and is a chrome reflector better or is a white reflector better?
which freakin blueberry am i suppose to order here? there is like 3 or 4 different blueberrys. is dj shorts blueberry the original or is the true blueberry the original because i thought the original was dj shorts...theres nirvana's.....
AK47 or not? is it a pleasant smoke ive heard really good reviews but ive also heard there is nothing special about it. and is ak48 any good? ive seen pics of a cherry phenotype and it looks good but if its not good smoke i dont want to bother really.
which white widow am i suppose to order? or is it black widow...
who has the best northern lights?
these are the 4 strains id like to order because i like variety and dont want to have to take the risk of ordering them again anytime soon. if anyone has any info itd be much appreciated. thx for all the replies

Hey stonin, 600 watts in a 3x3x4 would be freaking great. Definately need some ventilation though. I've got a 6x2x8 room, and my 400 heats it up. I've only got passive ventilation, but it's food for thought. A 400 would be easier to control, and while it would still give you great results, you just gotta think if you ever want to invest in another light again. Sucks to buy things twice I say.
Don't know much about all those strains bro.
Nirvana seeds.... as long as you're talking "Nirvana Seeds" and not Gypsy Nirvana Seed Boutique. Although this sure throws me off. Are "Nirvana seeds" from that website, NOT "Nirvana seeds"?
Doubt you'll get any original blueberry. But it's probably called blueberry for a reason, and DJ shorts has a good rep. I had some cheap seeds that grew some dank weed; so it's obviously not too hard to accomplish. xD
good luck. shopping is frusterating eh?

haha yeah there are so many fuckin strains its hard to decide which one :D which isnt a bad thing. and im talking about nirvana - not gypsy ive heard they are complete rip offs.
i think the 600 watt is the goods to go with - i think im going to just hook up exhaust fans at the top of the box until it pulls all the heat out haha it might take 3 big fans but i really want density. anybody know if chrome or white is better on a reflector?
dj shorts is what ill probably go with. was thinking about KC Brains but the cheapness of the seeds kinda throws me off :hmmmm: but i might just get like 3 from nirvana, 3 from kc brains and one from Mr Nice (like that awesome G-13 skunk hybrid hes got mmmmm)

Sounds like you'll be off to a good start.
Intense light will give you dense buds.
Hower, intense heat will make them fluffy as hell.
Be careful.

Today I received my package from Gypsy Nirvana SB. White Widow, Durban Poison and a free bonus of ten, South African x Skunk #1 seeds.
I don't know how good the seeds are but I'm impressed with the service so far... I sent my money order on the the 5th so 14 days round trip ain't bad.

I'm sure you'll find some real dank phenotypes in there pal.
I wouldn't worry.

I think both are pretty equal, stanley. If you can, get something dimpled. If not, oh well.
My money's on chrome though.

Yeah, I agree with G...
White would actually absorb a small amount of light, wouldn't it?

Anything will i'm sure. I know Panda Film, or Black/White poly is supposedly equal in reflection rating to Mylar. I'd say, a white refector and a chrome one are a pretty good analogy to this.
How often have you seen white reflectors? I always see chrome, so i'd stick with what works.

lol i've never seen a HPS light this big, and never seen one with a reflector at all, this will be my first :)
