I just plugged in my 1000W HPS

That thing HOLY CRAP!!! bright. I mean it's frigin absurd. Says it's good for about an 8' x 8' area, which is 64 square feet. I'll take some pictures to show it off, but I'm really impressed with how bright it is. And it looks like now the lighting wont be a big deal. Electricity bill will get dinged about $35-$50, depending on how much I run it, which really isn't that. My air conditioner would cause about the same amount of damage.

Man you do have some light now.

Throw the others away, unless you are gonna use them just for veg.

That sucker gonna generate some heat, so dress lightly and wear some shades.

HAPPY GROWING.
