As a newly minted mm patient, I am attempting to plan out my first grow. I have chosen a Hydrohut Silver 3x3x7.5' tent as a perfect place for me to complete my first grow (veg + flower). After the first grow, I intend to set up another area for clones/veg, and the 3x3 hydrohut will be a flowering room for about 6 plants.

Anyhow, I have become interested in two different 600 Watt HPS setups. The cost is almost identical for both systems, at roughly $550.

1) System # 1

Sun System Yieldmaster Reflector w/ 6 inch
$119.95
Item #: 904382

Sunlight Supply Ballast Ss1 Hps 600w
$299.95
Item #: BALHPSSI600

HPS Bulb 600 watt Hortilux Eye
$129.95

Total = $549.85

2) System # 2

$309.00


Hydrofarm 19" Cool Tube w/ cord
$124.95

Hortilux Super HPS Enhanced Spectrum Bulb, 600W

I realize this can be done cheaper, but I put a premium on a reliable ballast, as I am paranoid about my house burning down. Any thoughts? :stoned:
