hey i found a page with some super cheap hps and was wondering if you got an ac plug from home depot and wired it in if they would be alright...it just doesnt seem right cuz they are sooo fucking cheap
Can you give us a link? I assume it comes with a reflector and ballast? And yes, some cheaper version come out without a wire - you have to buy it seperately.
Most cheaper lights come unassembled or are just the socket. Check the site better to find out waht your getting for your buck, and how cheap is cheap? I found that its MUCH easier to get things locally. I couldn't find CRAP for hydro shops around here for the longest time, almost bought off of Ebay, but looked harder and I found a very close hydroshop with as cheap lighting as ebay would have cost me. Just research. Or u could go with ebay. High tech Garden Supply is the best light/hydro supplier on ebay, quote me They got over 2000 sales with ONE negative feedback. Check it out thc101
i dont know what the site he was talking about but ive found that the cheapest grow systems are from discount-hyrdo.com you can get 1000W for like 250$$

nvm guys scratch all that but thanks,...im gettin a 250watt hps with ballast and everything but if i have just a small growbox (50" tall) would this light be too much? i was thnking of makign something so the bulb isnt right over the plants
