ok thank you. I am thinking of a 150 watt hps/mh. what do you think the price jump in electric bill would be a month?I would get HID for start to finish.

Just get a 400watt dimmable, and dim it down to 200watts to start. The price difference between the two is prolly only $30, and when you're ready to upgrade to more light, you just gotta flip a switch.ok thank you.

ok thank you. so I can turn it up or down. and just use how many watts that I want? so its like getting 3 lights in 1?Just get a 400watt dimmable, and dim it down to 200watts to start.

Its funny, growing is just like a hobby for me. I am using CFLs for lighting. I just wanna find a light that I can use just to get better thicker buds. but also wanting to keep it simple.You'll eventually try both if you're serious about your growing. T5's and HID is essential equipment for the serious Cannabis amateur/enthusiast.

Have you had any personal experience with the iPowers? I was thinking about picking up a 250W HPS from them, but its always hard to pull the trigger on a name I haven't heard a lot about.I would also recommend a dimmable 400 or 600w digital ballast. LUmatek is my vote and worth the extra money but ipower works as well.
compare your dry weight to someone who used a hid of the same wattage as your t5You can flower with them just fine if you know what you're doing.

Well that's easy to do since I have a 2000w HPS room and a 2000w T5 room. We have been doing side by sides for quite awhile. If you know what you're doing with T5 and know how to build a par spectrum and not just using "2700k" bulbs you can build nice dense bulbs and low heat and energy issues.compare your dry weight to someone who used a hid of the same wattage as your t5
i use 2 23w cfls from walmart to veg with for like 2 weeks. then i switch to hps and start flowering.
