bought a complete growing system

Im going to buy this growing system that i know all of you guys will say "what a rip off". I know i prob. could of done it myself but i like taking the easy way out. here is the website
http://www.homegrown-hydroponics.com/mistgrcaw17h.html.
Should i get 2 400 lights as the option instead of 1 600 ?
Id like to buy a strain that best fits this grow set up. Id like to buy from a female seed company since space is limited. Also would like the strain to be short, fast flowering and strong. I have thought of white widow or is it not short ? Please help me out here. Thank you. oh ya and the dude near New York with the 8 white widows. Goodluck

if you're throwing money around, get aircooled twin HPS..

northern lights can be relatively short.. you can also train them or screen them...

order from any of the big name seed banks... sensi, soma, nirvana, etc.

Yeah, that is expensive. But, maybe not all that bad compared to DIY if you factor in 300 trips to Home Depot, what you spend on mistakes, the need for power tools, your time, etc. I do think they should give you a MH conversion bulb for that price.

Hard to say whether to bump up to the dual light. Certainly you want as much light coverage as possible, the issue becomes heat management, and we can't judge that from the description.

As for strain I recommend Northern Lights. WW can be finicky, NL is more forgiving. NL still is very potent and grows low. It's not fancy but it definitely gets the job done.

Thanx toasty. The other option is what the other guy said to get. I can either go with 1 600, 2 400's or 1 600 w HPS with inlinde duct fan and hosing. Its on the website i posted up there. http://shop.grasscity.com/shop/grass...eedshqnop.html <<< Where i saw the seeds that you guys mentioned. How is that for price? seems pretty high for northern lights 5 but all i could find.
