Hi.
I just called my power company and asked them if they had HPS or MH lights. Yes on both counts. I went there just today and paid 345 bucks for a 1000 Watt MH light fixture with ballast. Good deal I think.

Hopefully you paid cash.. and didn't give them a shred of personal information.

What is the diffrence and do I need it?

SSX Ballast
BGH Ballast $25.00 more

Make sure you can cool the hood or use an AC unit to keep the temperature down. A fan blowing around room air will not be enough for 1000 watts.

Monitor your temperature under your light at the top of your plants and keep an eye on it closley.
