Im new but i want an HPS light setup but im only growing 3-4 plants. should i get a 250 watt setup. u guys tell me ur the pros. and id like if someone just someone can give me a link to wher ei can purcahse and HPS for the correct wattage u all recommend and it can take MH and HPS bulbs. cause i wanna use MH for veg
TY TY TY
 
Go for a sun system 1000wt switchable balast. It will run both the mh and hps. I use this system mh for veg and hps for flower. You can get it sent to you from green coast hydroponics for $350.00
peace
 
I dont think you REALLY need a MH light , if your growing 2 rooms and a good amount of plants then yeah.

I veg and flower under my 600w hps and man seriously the growth you would lose if any is minimal in my opinion.

If any thing your better off having a little clone setup under a cfl and then 2 weeks veg and off you go.

If your going to buy a brand new light at the VERY MINIMUM get a 600w hps, your going to the trouble of doing a setup so do it right.:hump:

good luck n keep us posted , btw what strain are you growing and what setup ?
 
u guyts i need 1 balast to run both im gonna get the 400 wat MH and HPS 1 on that site the first poster did for 169 dollars
 
only thing is the higher wattage u use the more you got to spend on fans etc.. im usind a 400w duel spectrum bulb and god it gets hot in there...
 
the 400w light i got new was like $100 or less with ballast,reflector and takes mh and hps bulb sand i got free easy rollers. a bargin i thought.

UUmmmm..............You could have took the time to look back at my screen name.....DAMN MAN......lol
 
Honestly, my experience with HTG wasn't that good. They sent the light out quickly, but there was basically no packaging and I guess it was banging around the whole trip because when I opened it the reflector was dented and cracked. The good part was I had no problem returning it for a full refund though. So hopefully it was just a rare oversight.
 
I got mine in perfect shape, with styrofoam packing that fit the light perfectly. there were a few fingerprints on the bulb though(WTF?!) I'm glad I saw them and wiped them off before I turned it on.
