okay ive googled around for hydro shop in BC, and yes i know they are out here but im having trouble choosing a lighting setup. Could anyone recommend a reputable shop or website hopefully at least in Canada, i don't wanna be paying for customs fees, or better yet in BC. Im looking into a setup between 200watts to 400watts. Rough area to grow in 2' x 3'. thx.

Canadian Wholesale Hydroponics Store: hydroponic supplies, indoor hydroponic systems. 1 (877) 226-4769
here is a site that is in canada and if you have a 2 x 3 grow space i would say if you can vent a 400w well go with that but if your not tryin to spend too much then go with the 200w as you wont need to ventilate sooo much

get a 400 not a 250 cos once you get a 200/250 youll wish you had got a 400 and there not much more money.

you could experiment if your worried about heat build up and get a grow light which takes both 250watt and 400watt bulbs.

thanks everyone. I guess i might as well get a 400watt. LOL, but damn. I googled around and didn't even come close to finding something like these in Canada. (Keywords: hydroponics / Canada) Oh well thank again all, hopefully ill get my light soon now.
