Personally I would stick to stuff I know is new and operational.

But for the budget consious, I think it is fine.

If you want 3 plants with Killer tomatos, you will want more than 175W...more like 500W.
HARDDON Reviewed by HARDDON on . Buying lights? Anyone buy refurbished ballast online for the lighting system? You can save a lot of cash doing this. Or would I be better off going to my local grow shop and buying a brand new light system so I know it is safe? I am going to purchase a 175 watt or 250 watt hps for my new grow area soon (3 max plants). They are going to be some killer tomatoes! Rating: 5
