hey everyone, just have a few questions about the cost of lights. how much(estimate) are the following lights? 400w MH 250w MH 100w MH 100w HPS 250wHPS also do you need to have a ballast in order to power these? like what do they plug into? if so how much does that cost. this is only for vegging and cloning a few small plants btw. any tips suggestions are much appreachited thank!
you can clone and veg with some florescent tubes or cfl's in a relatively small space. Those two options would only cost as much as a normal household lamp since they are regular bulbs. The twisty bulbs (cfl) i think use less power. you should google cfl veg
thanks but i know that and thats not what im asking. in my current grow im using cfls. 4 of em. i want to upgrade but i dont have alot of money to spend on lights. so all i want to know is the prices of those lights.
why dont you try google before posting a ridiculous thread like this... no one is gonna answer this question for you because its right here all over the net! as for the ballast you can buy a system that has one built in.
they mostly come in kits with a ballast, power cord, socket, and a shitty reflector. just use HTG. soon as you google that shit you'll see that HTG is the cheapest and very reliable. go with them. more watts means more money.
