IMHO it is worth the little extra electric for the improved spectrum.
Besides old fashioned iron core ballasts are reliable as a.......rock.

I didn't really understand what you were saying here. Could you explain this post to me in a little bit more detail. Sorry for the electrical incompetence, not a big electricity guy (something I want to learn MUCH more about).
What did you mean by 150W per 1000W. Are you simply saying that you think it's worth the use of a tad bit more electricity required by a magnetic ballast to pump out the large spectrum coverage of a CMH bulb?New to growing? Need help? Want to learn some cool shit?
