Know one has any thoughts in lights for a 2 x 2?

Grab a couple of digital ballast and go the old classic mh/hps? Or get one of these

Why? Would flower a 2x2 easily. What would a hps set ya back by the time ya 0ay for ballast globe shade etc?

Could build one through atreum pretty cheap if you don't want to go hps.

Or rapid led has some cool stuff in the states. Like single logic Puck lights. Same diodes as hlg.

I noticed that that link you put up does do "offers".
But I think we are after cheap and cheerful not cutting edge tech.

Cheapest would be strip lighting probably. Few of the blokes in this thread know what they're doing with em.

Wouldn't expect much on the offer hey, don't think they make much off the diy.

Yep.. I have two strip lights. Good summer options they are.

The lights not for me.. Im thinking the best bang for ya buck with no mucking around is MH and HPS.

That's pretty interesting for a flower light.

Guess it depends on venting and cooling tho

Wait can you run two lamps off that one ballast? on a different timer??

Its Tassie..haha and inside a home so heat shouldn't be to much of a problem in summer, it could be in winter (lack of).

Sounds like hps is a no Brainer then

probably bit ive never grown in a 2 x 2..so not sure on wattage needed. That ballast Leigh put up is interesting. You recon it can run two lamps on a different cycle?
