Hi I have 250w of cfl one 400 hps one 1000w either or and two 400w MH. The other day I talked to my eltricien friend and he said he could get me half dozen of 100w hps light for 150. Is it worth my trouble.
Bear in mind I am still on my first grow and only own a single 400W but I feel like by having 600 watts broken into 6 parts and placed strategically around one's grow space you would get better light distribution and a higher yield than even a 1000W bulb. Then again i could be mistaken and one definite set-back is that you would complicate your setup...your gonna have to weigh some things out but in my opinion I think I would go for it. can anyone with some experience chime in?
their like this http://www.jpmsecurity.ie/uploads/images/steinel security light.JPG with internal ballast and no motion sensor.
this is my take pros: low cost you can maximize your wattage grow more with less (because of above point) cons: 6 cords in your grow room potentially poor wavelengths and not good variety of bulbs (dealing with a housing that is mostly used outside of the growing industry) its a tough decision mate
I guess maybe not worth it he can also get me 400mh used warehouse lights the multi tap ones for about 25 a piece.
