I'm new so maybe I just didn't see it yet. Is there a place to sell or buy equipment?
On a slightly different note, I acquired a pair of 250W HPS internally balasted lamps. I just was consulting on a lighting up-grade. Went to 200W CFLs. Big improvement over the HPS and 300W incandescents. So, I picked up a piar or mirror reflectors with 250W ceramic socket and cord w/switch. $25 ea. Very suitable for CFLs for growing. I also saw industrial 4 tube HiBay T5 HO fixtures at a job. Price with lamps is only $119 and the state (USA) offers $50 in energy rebate. So, I thought about picking one of them up, I've checked the numbers. They are very good for grow. I since won one of these fixtures on E-Bay for 40 (with lamps).
That's all, just a few itmes of interest to small gardeners.
