I have been looking online, and I purchased hydroempires 250 Watt HPS System.

I dont believe that the heat from a 250 WATT system will over heat my apartment, definately not as much as a 400-600 or even a 1000 watt system would.

My apartment gets cold in the winter and I have a heater running 1500watts and it seems to have problems heating anything. (I am disconnecting the heater, now that im growing cannabis to save on my energy consumption. I hope this also helps eliminate any suspicion of overusage of power because it's kind of a balancing act.)

If anything I will welcome the heat it produces since my building manager is also stingy cheap on the heating which is SUPPOSEd to be included in my renting of the apartment.

Well I will definately keep you guys posted on how my experience goes, I have not seen very many 250 watt grows online, theyre all 400 Watt and higher, so I hope i can fill a hole in the grow log area.

Too bad pics cant be posted, ummm... anybody know a site that allows grow logs with pics? I would love to show pics since the Lowryder #2 seems to be growing very nice and fast!
