All my lighting i got at the HARDWARE STORE

If you are on a NOOB budget! do some reading and get your booty to the hardware/lighting store. whether you want to do a cfl grow or if you want to do a mh or hps grow, these stores have a variety of outdoor lighting products. granted they are lower wattage, but they are cheaper and are most importantly self ballasted. i just saw a MH 100 watt for 72$. for a start this is a decent price. i am thinking of getting 1 or 2 to supplement and possibly mix in with my 14- 50 watt-250 output hps. i am also thinking of mixing in some cfls for giggles. this should cover all the bases. so far i only have spent 120$ on my hps lighting.
