DIY all the way!!!
Just getting one of my bro's to order a light setup from DH. Would of liked to got the electronic ballast but not in the budget yet. We got the 1000 switchable ballast 6 inch cool hood and a hortilux eye HPS for 345 dollars shipped all the way across country. We can pic up a MH bulb here and if you don't know.

Always get the bigger ballast because you can run a smaller bulb in a big ballast but not the other way around. so we will pick up a 400 MH cheap and he will veg fine.
