  1. ok guys, I've decided on my cabinet and need lighting. i've decided to go with a 150 watt hps system or 250 watt hps system, whatever deal is better. The only 150 watt HPS systems i can find are from:

    1) ebay - which have those small bowl-shaped reflector housings...
    2) htgsupply - they have one 150 watt hps kit (the brand is FloraLux) but the ballast is built onto the reflector housing and since this will be in a small tight cabinet, i dont think thatd be a good idea.
    3) ebay/home depot - FLOOD LIGHTS which seem to cost only 40-65 dollars! but i dont think they will be as efficient as Grow lights so i dont know about using flood lights..


    The only 250 watt HPS systems i can find are from:

    1) htgsupply - but they only have ONE hps 250-watt setup and it costts $230!!!!:mad: why do they have 250 watt MH setups for only 150 but 250 watt HPS go for 230??!?
    2) insidesun - this place has one for 105 but ive been reading that this place is fraudulent so this one is out of the question...



    CAN SOMEONE PLEASE LINK ME TO A DECENT PRICED SETUP?? IM TRYING NOT TO SPEND MORE THAN 160!! Id appreciate any help i can get this will be my first time growing and i want to do this right!
     
  2. prolighting.com

    They sell replacement ballasts, bulbs and fixtures all seperate, and you do the necessary construction for your box to fit your needs. They are cheap, reliable and good folk. Purchased my 400w setup there, but I would recommend on getting the bulb elsewhere.
     
  3. there's nothin wrong with the homedepot flood lights. there the same thing as grow light basically its all the same company all the real differece in grow lights / flood lights is the advertizing and the marketing. i know you can buy specific grow lights that will get you maybe 10 % more efffiency or whatever but there all basically the same. I know i desing and build things. If you go with the flood lights you do have to rewire but its fun i learned how to do it at 15 so it was a blast for me/ Anyways mine works great. i got and rewired a 150. and am probally goin to go back and get anorther for next time to have a 300w system.
     
  4. id strongly, try to talk you into,, the cfl.s/// a hid light for your area, may be a little much,,, these cfl,s are really amazing..

    my grow down on my sig. was with a 400, but i thimk youd be set perfect with some cfl,s

    check out '' DIERWOLFS'' grow he has going on right now, with cfl.s,,, hes doing it as a little'' experiment'' to see how good they work,, and the outcome thus far is impressive!!!

    and on a side note, ive found that htg supply is my company of choice, on price and, the best discreet shipping ive seen,,,, good company!!!

    good luck, and post a grow journal,,,,, :yay: :metal: :yay:
