Well I have made it through most of my first grow with CFLs and they are just not going to do the trick, so I am going to buy a 600w HPS light this week. The question I have for everybody is should I go with an electronic digital ballast or just a standard ballast? I am looking at getting a Future Brite Digital Electronic Ballast, or a Sun System X.

Ballasts
Does anybody have experience with either of these? I want something dependable and long lasting. Also I will be using it for three plants about 5-6 feet tall. I plan on using it out in a fairly large room. I plan on getting a very basic reflector so it will not be air cooled, I will just point my fan at it. Will this still get too hot? I plan to upgrade to a better reflector in a month or two for my second grow so I can stick it all back into the closet.
