Funny, that's the first light I started with 20 years ago. That was before the internet and hydro stores or even Home Depot. I was scared sh%^less when I went to buy it. Made up some story about needing it for the back yard. The old man at the counter just gave me a funny look. Then I stunk up the house because I didn't know about filters and my parents threw everything out before I got home from work :)

The Sunsystems 150w HPS might be a better choice for same price. Better reflector, no glass, has cooling vents etc.. Plus it is already wired and has a built in ballast. I have one running right now.

I'd recommend a 150w hps. They are standard exterior lighting so there is no reason for suspicion. Some come with some really cute bonnets with ballasts and they are light in weight.My first 150 watt HID was an old street light that had somehow got broken from the pole during an ice storm:)

Which one did you order? And if you do a little cropping and some LST you should be able to get a decent harvest...

Careful, you may just get hooked like the rest of us....haha... Growing is addictive and it is relaxing... enjoy and I hope it becomes legal where you are soon...
Ohhhh yeahhh, I need an intervention in the worst way, and oh don't forget the bud porn too!
I feel like Chester the molester.

And when you woke up the next day it was in your room, right? So you made good use of the light! Somewhere out there, there's a lamppost in need of a light.

I sure do feel for those poor lamp posts that don't have lamps:) I got lots of abandomed and confiscated hid transformers and accesories. When an item has been cataloged by the courts I don't remove the property label when I install such items in my grow-op. And it doesn't bother me to salvage smashed and broken things that can be repaired and used. I don't live in a room. Somewhere out there there is a person that lacks common sense.
 
my light should be coming in on Friday im just not sure if they are ready to be put to 12/12, by Friday they'll probably be close to 10 inches that's how fast they are growing lol
