I looking for a 1000w hps system. I am not very famililar with HPS lighting but I have vast knowledge of MH becuase of my reef tank. In my experience in MH the high end set ups are over priced and the cheap setups are junk. There are a few setups in the middle that are perfect. All that being said anyone want to link me a good mid range setup. Thanks I am building a 8 plant grow room.
Check out IndoorGrowSource.com, They have complete HPS systems for about $500. I got myself a 600W HPS system with the Lumatek Ballast. plus the ballast can run both MH & HPS bulbs so I also got me a Digilux MH bulb. (The system already comes with a Hortilux HPS bulb)
