alright guys im facing a little dilemma here....

1.) a friend of mine has a 1000w light w/ ballast and hood he has to get rid of. (hes moving and is willing to sell it to me for $150)

2.) he has other people interested and i have to buy it today or it'll be gone.

3.) this is a good deal but will this be too much light for my needs??



I'm still setting up my room and can;t decide if i should

A.) say F*** it and get the 1000w

B.) pass up on it and buy a t5 6 tube setup which i can also get for around $100.

C.) or get a 400w to start out and get a bigger one if need be.



I plan on usuing the SOG method. Not trying to conquer the growers world here just a side hobby. I'd like to harvest 6 plants every 2-3 weeks.

help?

How big is your room. Heat is an issue we run 4 1000w and we have a BIG ac running good venting and it can still get hot in there. But that is a grat buy. I would say get it

I have 3 closets. one 4x4x10ft with shelving for cloning.

2nd closet is 4x8x10ft for vegging (this is where the 1000w would be

3rd is 4x4x10ft for buding. havent decided on light yet.

is the 1000w overkill? i like the t5 personally.
