Hey, yeah the quantum would be the way i will go, when I decide to get a digi. As for what you say the magnetic is a solid choice tho, rebuild if something burns out. You can get a magnetic ballast that will run both bulbs for a lil bit more $$$ tho. Or you can get a Mh conversion bulb for a hps mag. bal.

Or you can just run the hps with supplemental lighting in veg. Daylight cfls mixed with hps will be good. Or you can just run a MH for veg. and flower, your yield will not be as big as a hps yield but the buds will be frosty.
