hey guys have a guy near me that is selling these what you guys think was wondering if i got the 2 100w hps for my flower room if it would be good or just go with the 400w metal halide? i got cfls now whould they be better then what i got now? what you guys think 400 Watt Metal Halide or 1000 watt MH or 100 HPS - Mississauga / Peel Region Buy & Sell Goods - Kijiji Mississauga / Peel Region Canada.
That light setup looks really suspect, It's definitely out of the ordinary for horticultural lights. If you're looking for a cheap HID light I'd recommend either a 150w or 250w HPS. Amazon.com: The Mini Light 150W HPS System w/ Bulb: Patio, Lawn & Garden I have a sunsystem self ballasted 150W hps I use for veg/clones, it's been going strong for a few years now 24/7. EDIT: here's an affordable 400W link: http://www.amazon.com/iPower-GLSETX...=UTF8&qid=1359485040&sr=1-1&keywords=400w+hps
This Purple Apollo Horticulture 400w Grow Light Dimmable Ballast with Detachable Fins Cool Tube Hood Reflector and Metal Halide(MH) and High Pressure Sodium(HPS) Light Bulbs, 120v Power Cord + Rope Ratchet: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific At 400w does both HPS and MH, leave the high barn light for the livestock farmers, with small time HPS you get Small time tiny buds ...ugh
when i bought my setup i wanted a 250w hps. after a few minutes of convincing i walked out with a 400w setup.....it costed me an extra ~15$ to upgrade. He said 400w is far superior for "fruit and vegetable" production or just in case i ever wanted to make my garden bigger. my single masterkush girl is soaking up those rays and loving it!

Cool tube does come in handy, I just like those lumens....baby it's always in the Lumens, 4'x3' will do a 400w real good, once up and running return here with pics. tx peace "V"

You need an inline fan and ducting to cool an a cool tube, HID pumps out a ton of heat a computer fan will not cut it. Most important things to invest in for a successful grow is lighting, ventilation, and odor control. Don't skimp on those, and you should be able to harvest some great buds and supply yourself.
