Yea it's been posted here before too. Just can't find the post, the title must not have been what I would expect cause it doesn't come up in a search.

hoods with cords from lowes? You'd have to give me a link I don't know what you're talking about.

You are quite welcome, I like helping anyone out I can, I'd rather see someone get a $20 HPS and get decent yield than buying a bunch of CFL's and having to flower longer and get less yield.

It was me.

Like was posted, it does come with the ballast and bulb, everyone keeps telling me it doesn't or it would cost more.

Cool...

Well it says everyday low price, but in reality I think it's a closeout clearance price because it's way cheaper than any other lamp on their site, even the 70w MH or HPS.

But yea, it's real. It even says on the site ballast and bulb included in the details somewhere.

You are kidding right?
Those are prices for bulbs alone, no ballast kit or anything.
I can't tell if you knew that or what.

Hell yea, the bigger the better... No I already said previously I wouldn't buy more than two or three of these max.

If you're going to spend $60 or more you're in 400w and up price ranges. At least cheap ballast kits, might have to kick in more for a bulb. Either way one or two of these 150's would pay for themselves with one bud, the other buds are for you.

Keep in mind a $100 400W HPS is NOT for a closet grow, unless you plan on pre-baking the weed for brownies.

For a closet grow, cooltube/aircooled hood, ducting and fan. Closer to $300-400.

The econo lights are for rooms, not closets.

I did a 400 in a 3x3x7 I would think that is consider closet size, all that matters is ventilation in and out. I didn't even know what a cooltube, ducted fan or aircooled hood was at the time. I just used normal house fans and I was able to keep the temperature at 80 degrees with the door closed.
