Need equipment help

I bought a 400 watt set up about a month ago but now I need another set up for flowering. I am looking for any advice from more experienced growers out there on which way to go. I have until tomorrow to make up my mind. My first option is this ofr $450 :

1xHydrofarm 400 MH/HPS Magnetic Ballast
1x Galaxy 400 Mh/HPS digital Ballast
1 X 400 HPS bulb (2 months used)
1x 400 MH bulb (used one month)
1X Big kahuna 6in air cooled hood. (33'x27)
1X Sun system 4in Air cooled hood (24'x20')
1x 6in Can Fan- VERY STRONG
1x 6in carbon filter.
1X 3ft Fluro bulbs
1X thermometer
1Xbox Fan
1x Small fan
1x Eco plus Air pump. Eco Air 4 (has 4 valves)
1:X Nearly full Advanced Nutes voodoo
1: 1 nearly full Sensizym
1: Spray and grow spray8ing formula
1x PH up & Down
1 X Miliwake Ph tester. Needs new batteries.
4x timers
1x Unused tarp zippers
1x HTG Digital thermometer
1X large bag of unused hydroton hydroponic medium
7x 3' net pots
1x 590 GPH pump
4x5' netpots
6 chains
1-4'' dryer vent for exaust
1x nursery tray and humidity dome
1x3 foot leach tray
4x4'' rockwool
1x3ft black tubing
3x light hangers
10x1 gallon grow bags
3x S-hooks
Several airstones
TDS calibration bottle(not sure if opened) sticker says $15
1 home made daisy cloner
1x125 Watt CFL w/ reflector
1 250 Watt HPS with built in ballast and bulb
My 2nd choice is a 600 watt dimmable ballast with a euro hood and an 8 inch inline fan with the needed duct. This set up is $240. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Wow that's quite a list!!! Just reading it made my eyes hurt. I'm a confessed ghetto grower and like to keep things easy and simple. pots, soil, lights, yummy organics (bat guano, worm castings etc.). Heck even my cloning is ghetto just peet pellets and cut down soda bottles. But hey what do I know I'm just an old fart grower.

Send me the address for all that gear for $450 if you decide to not buy it.

OK, I found your list. I am the wrong guy to ask as most of what I develop is DIY and I do not use MH/HPS lighting, therefor I do not need fans, exhaust...

You should mention the size space you plan to grow in

all that gear for 450 is a deal.


You could use what you need, and sell the rest to make a bulk of the money back.

That is what I was thinking.This guy just will not sell anything seperate and with times being hard here, not too many growers have the money to throw out there for it. Plus he was trying to get $900 for all and I said I only had $350 and then we came to an agreement of $450 for it. I am looking to buy a 4x4x6 tent and wanted a 600 watt light but a 400 should be enough I hope. Anyway, I thank everyone here for their advice. Repped all!!

Can anyone suggest some decent tent brands?? I do not have much money if any to put towards one so I will probably throw some bids out on Ebay. However, I do not want to buy some tent and the zippers are bigger on my Levis. I am trying to figure out if I should just get a 3x3x6 (or something in that area) or a 7x7x6 tent to run 2 400 watt systems. Or just stick with a 3x3x6 for 1 400 watt system. But regardless, I need to know some brands to look for and the brands to avoid. Any suggestions?? THANX AS ALWAYS!!

Pay the $300 and get a 1000W set-up.
