In my opinion, the best deals online for HID systems are at:
High Tech Garden Supply
Check em out :)
awsome, how long does shipping usually take from here?
You can expect to receive your order in 5-7 days.
Not too shabby :)
I would get a HPS light instead of MH light and the HTG guys prices rock!
i have a 600watt HPS for my flower, but rite now for veg all im using are some cfls. So i wanna step it up a bit since im going to do scrog. So i was lookin into some t5s or MH i think 400 MH would be better dont you guys think?
If you got a 400w system for your MH and plenty of ventilation for the heat sounds great. Just remember different watt bulbs ARE NOT interchangable.
thx for the input DE. ya im plannin on using a completly seperate system for mh and hps. Which MH would you guys recomment for a hydrohut mini. which is what ill be using, and if i didnt say so already my grow will be for scrog grow.
man sooo many choices. any1 else suggest a website
check out craigslist, you can usually find some really good deals on used lights. you might have to search for "grow lights", "hydroponic", or "metal halide". good luck and hopefully you can find the perfect light :rasta:
IMO i wouldnt buy from high tech garden supply. sure it sounds cheap but in the long run your going to regret it. when i ordered from them and they took a little over two weeks to deliver. however when i got the product is was what it said it was. the only downfall is that the stuff is cheap. the reflector was kinda small and cheaply built. the cord from the ballast does not come off. the reflector was a air cooled hood but the glass just sat in there with a metal peice with two screws holding it in and it wasnt sealed. i went to my local hydro store and they gave me a discount on a nice set up. beautiful sealed hood and a lumatek digital ballast that was 200 more watts than htgs for only like a hundred more. it also included a hortlux eye bulb! htgs is cheap stuff, they do give you a good deal but in the long run your going to end up spending more on nicer equiptment. and yes craigslist is the best place to look if you want to save money on quality stuff. just search the garden section
ah crap, i just placed an order for a 400watt MH setup and then i checked the thread again =[ hopefully the product i ordered will do me just fine. Thxx lots for the input though cigarettes.
how was the light
Look on ebay, i saw a guy selling 6 MH lights out from his barn for 25 bucks a piece:rasta:Quote:
