If that's the case, hes better off going with a 400 or 600W system, it comes with the MH bulb and HPS, etc.. And only like $130.00.. and then get bake a round, and make a home made cooltube, hell if your gonna spend the extra $$, better off getting the best for the same price.

Of course that means you'll be able to have more plants in a wider area, hell just start a grow room since the electricity bill will go up about $50/month with a 600W system. I have that type of setup and I am happy with every penny spent.
THContent Reviewed by THContent on . Advice on most cost effective way to buy MH 250w kit? :jointsmile:Currently I am growing just 2 plants. I am a legal MMcard holder. I am using 4 48inch Fl tubes in both ends of spectrum. THey grow ok but from reading here I see metal halide is better. So I went to Lowes, they sell 250 and 400 watt MH bulbs for 29bucks. However they do not have ballast. What is the cost if I bought a ballast kit or already made box for bulb and where is best price in your experiance? Rating: 5
