Get either one. They are the same thing both made by a manufacturer in China at the same factory just marketed by 2 other resellers. You can if you wholesale buy these direct from China without the stickers of the resellers names on them.

you already have a 400w hps light on the way. why are you now looking at these?

why not just get an air cooled reflector for the ballast you have on the way. i know you should have ordered air cooled, but is it to late to contact the seller and exchange?

because i cancelled everything when my tent was on back order. so now im looking on ordering right. so a cooltube is better? i bought my tent off ebay should be here this week. i hace a 2 foot 4tube t5 for vegging so now all i need is the hps for flowering.

Those tents are wack I can give you many reasons, but I'll just give u one, they WILL eventually rip on you., I suggest you spend a little more or dr120 or check out gorrilla grow tents. Those r the best hands down
check my sig for examples of both

a 400w is perfect for that size tent. A buddy of mine uses a 400w in a 4x4x6 and pulls off successful yields. Ill be running the same size tent with a 400w as well.

i would get an air cooled reflector before getting a cooltube.

mind if i ask why your not just vegging your plants with the 400w MH ? seems like a waste to me to have a t5 and a HHID unless you have 2 different setups (which im assuming you just have the tent you ordered)

that being said, i use the apollo and im happy with it, 3 year warranty on ballast and 1 year on bulbs is a nice little extra.

and i have been using a cheapo amazon tent for 2 years now and it hasnt ripped yet.

good luck with your grow

still waiting on my tent as well. You could just run an HPS for veg and flower. But its not a bad idea to have different lights, it will make your HPS bulb last a lot longer if your vegging with something else. Keep us updated!

What type of exhaust fan will you be using? Make sure to get a fan controller...without, your tent is sure to collapse!
