Okay! Good to hear :) (That makes me happy LOL)
another question about that - what's the difference between HPS(i know what that is) and MH bulbs(never heard of 'em)
Would MH be used for veg/hps for flower?
...can't rep you or I would -.-

I bought a 250w package from them a couple of months ago have been happy with it. Start out with the MH bulb for veg then when you switch to 12/12 go to the HPS

It's always better to get an endorsement of a product from someone who bought it and is using it.

Thanks for chimming in hammerbut. :thumbsup:

For Sure! Agree with you OM! and thank you for the input Hammer.
BackWoodDrifter - Yepperrss, I shall be experimenting with the 400 most likely :)

Oh and just out of curiosity - For that price ($160), what is included... Is that considered and average price, high price, or fairly cheap, or very good deal cheap?:stoned:

[Stomper420]

Id say thats a screaming deal.

[canniwhatsis]

Id say thats a screaming deal.

So would I,... I think I paid about the same for my 400w!


But I question the bulbs,... for the price I paid for the setup I got,.... the bulbs produced more heat than lumens..... and I don't believe for a second that the spectrum was what it was sold as...... :mad:

When I replaced the bulbs with a known good grow bulb (Plantmax HPS for flower, and Hortilux "Blue" MH for vege) Things changed, and my grow was happy.

Long and short, That's a SCREAMING deal!!!!

BUT be prepared to upgrade your bulbs ;)

[drudown11]

just like canni said above, every thing looks killer except im kind of cautious of the bulbs. A good Enhanced spectrum HPS(like they say your getting) is going to run you 50-100 $ by itself. Reflector looks quality and so does the ballast.

[hammerbutt]

Both bulbs I got are made in China Artemis (MH) and XBRITE (HPS) are the brand names. Not qualified to judge their quality switched from CFL for my last grow have 4 Super Lemon Haze plants about 6 weeks into flower that seem very happy.
