    Default new setup

    Hi folks im looking at starting a small wilma system after this grow in a 1.2m tent but struggling on a few things

    im looking at the wilma 4 pot 11l setup and plan on only using 2 pots is the 11l enough or should i get the 18l
    im also looking at trying digital ballasts out on this setup and was looking at the sunmaster hobby or omega
    and finally i can decide if i should try a parabolic reflector or stick with air cooled

    thankls in advance for your help

    I have just bought the omega ballast as my lumii died after 3 years. It's doing the job well and looks good.

    I have a parabolic for winter months and cool hood for summer (for obvious reasons).

    The Wilma I can't comment on. I've used similar but always end up back in hempy buckets.

    I bought one for 20 or 25 quid off someone not long ago. And its pretty decent iv only used it on 250w though. All i can reccomend is the lumatek its lasted me years and probs a few more.

    I've never owned a Sunmaster ballast, but I had an Omega one that failed within 24 hours I run a Lumatek now

    Yet get what you pay for with equipment. Buy cheap buy twice. It should be a forum motto.
