that is one bad ass fluoro tube...:thumbsup:

It would veg; maybe, 5 plants...very well....for 3 or 4 weeks
flowering time comes?...you would need 5 or 6 of them...for 2-3 females...IMO.

5 or 6 of these lights for 2-3 females? Thats alot of light!

I searched through the replacement lights they have,
Would this light be enough to flower 2-3 females alone?

found this cheap hps light bulb, 250 watts only 12$? worth it for my grow space? Just a entertainment center about 1 square foot for 1 plant only.

[Dutch Pimp]

a 250 watt HPS bulb requires a 250 watt HPS ballast

50,000 lumens = 400 watt HPS bulb ...which requires 400 watt HPS ballast

[widder]

Hi, I,m new....for that small a space you can get a 150W, HPS for about $80 from Sunlight Supply.It's one piece, well made, plug and go.I got one on E-Bay from the HydroWholesale webstore ,free shipping and I had it in three days.Good luck!

[Locedd]

I been doing some research on the google trying to find a cheap hps system for my 1 square foot 1 plant space, Can someone tell me if I need anything else besides these 2 items I am about to purchase? Going for 400 watt hps.

Here is the Ballast Venture V90D1912K - 400 Watt - High Pressure Sodium Ballast - ANSI S51 - 4 Tap - Power Factor 90% - Max. Temp. Rating 100 Deg. C - Includes Dry Film Capacitor, Ignitor, and Bracket Kit (http://www.1000bulbs.com/product/7374/BV-V90D1912K.html) 40$

Here is the lamp LU400 - HPS - 400 Watt - High Pressure Sodium - ANSI S51 - Plusrite 2010 (http://www.1000bulbs.com/product/4982/LU0400-0002.html) 5$

So can I buy just this and be good to go? or is there anything I am missing that I will need to buy?

If so 45$ for 50k lumens at 2000k kelven is Cheap yea? or does someone know of anything cheaper for the same lumens?

Thanks for any help I can get, Im a noob first grow with a bubba kush plant trying to get some decent lighting and get rid of my 2 100 watt cfls.

[Dutch Pimp]

It would work. You still probably need a reflector?..cords?...base?...unless you are gonna grow vertical?

I recommend a complete system with reflector hood, bulb, UL rated magnetic ballast, base and cords. Just plug in it....and grow.
I'm not keen on DIY shit...electricity kills.

[Locedd]

Well I was going to buy them anyways, But on that ballast, I clicked on it and read the fine print , "WARNING: Wiring and installation procedures are very complicated and should be attempted by a licensed electrician only. Ballast installation poses serious risks of electric shock which can lead to injury or death."

LOL Screw that, I don't know how to set it up anyways. Back to sqaure 1.

I picked up one of these initially,... it works,... but the bulbs that come with it are kinda Chitty. And the heat generation was immense! I had a 6" computer fan blowing over the bulb, and my 8" exhaust tube taped to the back side of the reflector behind the bulb to pull most of the heat out of the room.

Now I'm using this light for veging, EGL 120 TRI-BAND LED grow light | High quality hydroponic LED grow light product | Ecogroled (http://www.ecogroled.com/servlet/the-4/grow-light-lamp-led/Detail)

Given your area,... you could use the LED all the way thru for a single plant,.... or save a littel and get the 90w

[Locedd]

I really like that first one you posted....

Am I Stoned or Did I just find a 430 watt hps system for 17$?

Sunlight Supply Sun System 2 Enclosed Ballast System Glass: J from Kalyx.com - Hydroponics & Gardening - Light Systems: 430 & Lower HPS (http://www.kalyx.com/store/proddetail.cfm/ItemID/898424/CategoryID/12000/SubCatID/2665/file.htm)

Score?

[Dutch Pimp]

anybody that grows with an LED light is a heretic...:jointsmile:...:D...:stoned:

[Locedd]

Okay, I was going to get this

1600 lumens 150 watt hps light for 79$
150 Watt HPS Small Grow Light : Grow Light Supply (http://www.growlightsupply.com/150-watt-hps-small-grow-light-p-112.html)

But decided to go with 2 of these babys
10,050 lumens each, 100 watt each, 15$ each

Lights of America 100W CFL Replacement Bulb (92100B) (http://www.esplighting.com/92100b.html)

50 more watts but 4k more lumens and
Thats 20,100 lumens for 30$ instead of 16,000 lumens for 78$.

Not bad for my small 1 plant and small setup like in these pictures.

Smart choice or no?
