I NEED CHEAP LIGHTINGS for VEGGING Purple Kush in 8X8X8, PLEASE HELP

I am about to flower my ladies and was wondering is there anything out there as far as in lightings that would do the trick for an 8X8X8 grow area? The plants ranges from 10" -16", grown in Fox Farm Ocean Forest. I currently am using 8 florescent tube lights at 32watt each. I am able to use them also with the new lights to try to get as much light as i can to the plants. So now i have the task of finding lightings that will give me descent yeild in an 8X8X8 work area and staying around the $500 budget.

You want to light an 8 x 8' area, or 64 square feet, for $500?

That's a pretty large space, realistically probably far more than any one individual needs in terms of yield, and a pretty tall order. You sure as heck aren't going to be able to do it with LED lights at that price.

You might be able to pick up three used or low-end 1000 watt HPS lamps for around $500 and that could do the trick.

I'd really suggest that if you are going for a garden that large that you don't try and save pennies on lighting. Either increase your lighting budget, or decrease your growing space.

you could go to made-in-china.com and find some decent 3 watt diode lights for about 230
