Which grow light... hmmm.

I wish I would have had the scratch to buy a 600w setup instead of the 400w switchable that I eventually went with. Now I will probably move up to the 600 and change from a 6'' AC Sun system hood to something that makes for a better light footprint.

Another reason I went with CFLs and flouros, is that its not gonna raise any red flags......... a pack or 2 of bulbs from wally world, a pack or 2 from Lowes, a pack or 2 from Home Depot, etc... no reason for anybody to ask questions. Especially important for me as a business owner here in rural south Mississippi. Low profile is a good thing..... don't put yourself in a position where somebody has to *DO* something about it in the first place.

FWIW, my last grow was Toxic Blue, and Nor Cal Daddys Girl. The Daddys Girl plant netted 7 cure jars full of dried, manicured bud that will rock your world, and another 5 jars from the Toxic Blue plant.

Your milage may vary.

HTG all the way i say, works great for me =)

I'm just going to jump into this post because it's close to what I need to ask anyway.

So, just got my license in Colorado. Prices at the dispenseries is insane. I assume it's the same everywhere but here if you sign your rights over to a grower. They MIGHT give you a small discount. Like $4 off a $20 gram.

So, For years I've kept iguannas in a small room in my home. However after 17 years the two monsters are fading quickly. Time to convert the room to MMJ growing to save money. (Rooms already been glowing for YEARS).

I've decided on the e-bay Ebb and flow system with 12 buckets and a B.C. starter kit. I've investigated lighting and have settled on (I think) duel arc (both MH and HPS in one bulb) on 1000w systems. Issue is, I can't seem to figure out which ballast runs these bulbs. Are they run by an HPS ballast or a MH ballast? I plan to run two of these in a 6'X10' room BTW.

It'll take me a few months to set anything up. However, with over 10 years maintaining Reef aquariums. This looks like it may be quite easy for me. Many of the test kits work the same, just different ranges.

Any info on this ballast issue would be great.

Thanks
