ebay is great for lights.

my 600w digital ballast and 2 hps bulbs setup came out just over 300$

the ballast makes no heat whatsoever, and the light is blinding, but the plant loves it.



just a tip: whatever you see all over the web about germinating in paper towels or similar is useless. if the seeds are valid, they will grow just fine planted in soil the natural way. saves the risk of breaking delicate taproots during the transplant or forgetting to mist on a regular basis
