Sorry about the peer pressure man....lol...
it's just that I've seen what the HPS did to my grow...
Don't you think he would do good with a 150 w hps for an AG grow. That's what I and some others use successfully. Less heat and energy as well.Here you go... this is what you need...
400 watt High Pressure Sodium Ballast Kit
CoolTube 6" Reflector
Sure, I got away without even the 150...
I do agree bigger is better. I trashed a 400 w hallide set-up last year. I've never been a quitter. I want to keep things small and stealthy. I'm just growing for myself. I may get a 6 pk. Stealth hydro unit after I see how this turns out. Maybe I won't need it if I can get enuff from the AG to last til the next grow. A qtr. will last me 2+ weeks so I may be okay.Sure, I got away without even the 150...
But I guarantee that more light will give you more, better buds...
I wanted a 250... got convinced by this same argument that I should go with the 400... so I got the 600...
Now, even if I go to a room instead of my tent, I will not have to buy a new light...
Right there I saved all of the extra energy that I burned...
The AG is great, but I think most folks using one will either upgrade or quit...
And if you are not a quitter, why waste money on endless upgrades?
Just my two cents man... not everyone thinks like I do... thank god!!!lol...
Cheers Bro!

Read this and get back to me... lol ... #21 should shed"some light"...lol...
- Decide while stoned to become a weed baron
- Plant leftover bagseeds and go looking for lights
- Try to steal neighbor's floodlights, burn fingers, go to plan B after healing up
- Buy incandescent halogen lights at OfficeJerks cos they look real bright and one blacklight over at the head shop cos it's purpleyness is cool as fuck and makes the Jimi Hendrix velvet poster glow something wicked
- 4 out of 72 seeds sprout, fuckin ace!
- All 4 get stretchy, fall over and die
- Put the black light a little closer to cheer it up
- Smoked the dried out seedling, gave me a headache, so I planted some more bagseeds
- Dug out Uncle Bob's marijuana grow book from 1972, marveled at nail-thru-stem technique for improving potency
- 9 out of 147 sprout, fuckin ace!
- Put a pound of nails in salty water to get em good and rusty
- All 9 get stretchy, fall over and die
- I figured they wasn't getting enough light, so I stole granny's big ole heat lamp and a couple of headlights from some passing cars (damn they're hard to grab at stoplights)
- Planted more seeds, put more bullshit and a couple of dead fish in soil mix this time (hey it worked for the Indians and the Pilgrims)
- Neighbours complained about the shitty fish smell, I told them to rack off, so they called the cops, who confiscated all the 'evidence.'
- Saw story on Fox News about wicked intarwebs sites about marijuana growing warping kids brains, figured I wasn't warped enough
- Found pot growing website, figured I'd do a big favor for all those newbie idiots who'd never planted a seed and show em how to do it
- Typed Uncle Bob's entire 1972 Yippie Underground growbook into the pot growing website, waited for praises to flow in
- No one said nothing, so I typed it in again IN ALL CAPS SO THEY COULD READ IT BETTER
- Decided I'd hang around and learn something, there's this guy who says his friend's uncle's brother in law once knew a guy who grew like POUNDAGE in an old refrigerator
- Stole a refrigerator and put all my halogen lights in it along with a 5000 watt security light I found on top of a football stadium
- Planted 693 more seeds in old coconut shells and put a half a box of Miracle Gro granules on each one
- One sprouted and it screamed at me to kill it before it had to spend another second in that damn fridge
- Gave up tryin to be a weed baron
- Got stoned again decided to put the Arabs out of biz with a car the will run on leftover Mountain Dew
- Broke into a vending machine and stole 900 cans of Mountain Dew
- and so on...
Dude, you could mow a couple of lawns, shovel a couple of driveways or even have a bake sale to come up with the $120 bucks...
You got it Ace!!! lol...
just messin' wit you man... 
Thanks for the kind words...
Not at all Bro!!! Ask away, if I got the time, I will do my best to help out...
I don't like MG... and I know LOTS of people that don't either...
That's a great way to put it. MG doesnt have the micronutrients most plants need for rich and complete development. It's okay for outdoor soil and even for house plants as the nutes get replaced by mother nature. Not so in water grows.Not at all Bro!!! Ask away, if I got the time, I will do my best to help out...
I don't like MG... and I know LOTS of people that don't either...
But I will put like this...
Compare it to oil in your car's engine... ANY oil is better than no oil... but the correct type of oil will work MUCH BETTER... but any oil is better than no oil...
So if you can manage to feed your plants MG without overdoing it and burning them to a crisp, do it... but I will serieously tell you to spend the $20 for the right nutes... you will thank yourself when you smoke it...
Good luck...
