I need this question answered asap. I've been starting to assmble the things I need to start my grow, as of right now I have a little more then 20 CFL lights. I was originally going to grow with HID lights, but found them to be rather expensive.. BUT I just found on craigslist a 400w MH lamp with ballast, mount, bulb and all... FOR $45!!!! He also has two.. this would be perfect in conjunction with my CFL's... The only thing is.... The lens is "Color Corrected"..... Will that be alright???? Here's the exact post: 400 watt metal halide, color corrected lens, full spectrum, and maximum uv irradiance comes with bulb, parabolic lens, ballest, and mounting hardware. ready to grow just add plants. call XXX-XXXX --------------------------------------------- He still has both of them, and I've arranged to pick them up TOMORROW! But I don't want to buy them if they won't work.. HURRY HELP!
I read a post of something very similar and i did some research and from what I understand its literally a lense that can be taken out whenever you want to take it out... But I dont see why you would want to. The way it was described is the light that the plants need is filtered thru the lens and intensified. This information came from another post from another user... But I ended up buying a complete set up online for around $300 so i didn't fully research it I'd say go get it... if its a MH setup for $45... wicked deal
Awesome! Thanks man.. I'll be picking these up tomorrow then. Two of these bad boys, 20 CFL's, A dedicated room... 3 different strains... this is gonna be off the hook!
