What you really need to do, is READ UP ON EVERYTHING ABOUT SEEDLINGS. Learn as much as you can because keeping them alive after they sprout is the hardest part. Once they get about 6 inches and about 4 alternating nodes, it's actually kind of hard to kill them. Just make sure you know what you're dong when you get those lights. Don't expect to just put them in there and have weed in a few weeks. It takes FOREVER just to get an OZ. You might get 2 OZ. because you're using HPS. Good idea for a first grow. I'm using CFLs but REALLY want HPS. Dont got money for it though. HAPPY GROWING!

The light you listed would do the job, but you are in a closet and 600watts in the that small of an area you better be air cooling. If you do decide to go with a 600w then get a reflector that can be aircooled, the one you had listed was a bat wing (you can't air cool) also if you are using a 600w go with the Philips Son-T has more lumens then the hortilux. If 400w go with hortilux. Now you need to look at a flou. for you seedlings and cuttings. You can go to homedepot for this one, standard or plant spec flou. are ok.

the 1000 watt that I have is hps hortilux and has a protective glass shield all you neen is a fan blowing between the canopy and shield and you can get as close as 1 foot away. I did it that way anyway without venting light...didn't need too with glass shield..and Yes I will shipp it any where!!!!call 856-825-2913 bill

buy AandKdaddy stuff man...if I had the money I would buy all the stuff he has for 350 and he has 1000 w air-cooled light...

the light you picked out would be awesome, but you wouldhave to be AC'd or suck hot air out of the room...

Don't be confused...You cannot have too much light...You are on the right track...IMHO

thanks latewood!!!! I cannot believe knowone has jumped on this deal.... the light and meters alone are a great deal for the price not to mention the nutes and pump as a bonus!!!!!!
