as some of you might know i am in the design phase of my new setup build. a lot of the components are coming along nicely, while others aren't.

so i was wondering everyone's personal preference for lamps/bulbs?

for reference sake, i'll be running a 600w HPS with lumatek ballast. (but as far as it's concerned, what is everyones choice for digital ballast too?!)

has anyone used the bulbs with the built in reflectors? something such as this.

it says it has 95,000 lumens and says it's 95% efficient.

i was thinking about going with the sunmaster.

if anyone has any other input for any other products that they think shouldn't be left out of a grow room, please let me know.

it will either be DWC or ebb & flow. still researching. i would like to have several stains going, not necessarily on the same harvest cycle, but im not against the possibility. i hear the sea of green method is kinda a pain in the butt due to the large number of plants going. input.

basically i want to harvest every 2 weeks to a month, and would like to yield 1/4 to 1/2 pound, respectively. the more the better, obviously.

ok, so this turned more into a collective effort, complete build thread. sorry. i promise it started as a bulb question. but isn't if fun helping me to spend my money? there will be plenty of eye candy along the way. i know everyone likes pics. i update my current log regularly. check it out. thanks for all the input.
