here is the deal i can get 2 1000w hps shop lights for 100 bucks but i only grow 3 plants so its a bit overkill would it be worth picking up and trying to sell for a 400w system or just run 1 1000w just dont know and also will shop lights work

Any pics of the lights? Those lights are just as good as any other overpriced grow lights!

Shop light, uh huh, yea.

It's not a shop light, it's a HPS grow light and if they work and they are $100 for two of them you should absolutely buy them.

At least try growing with one of them for a run, and turn your three plants into monsters. Then you can decide if you should keep them or not after you're done harvesting all that bud.

1000w will only cost about 20 more $ month than 400w. But yield about @ least twice as most!!

yea man + even if you decide not to keep it you'll make all that back selling it for 250+ on craigslist. or more, i dunno i just got a 400w and looking on craigslist they're selling for 150 200 bux, so you could def turn a profit.
