good for veg.they dont get hot so you can keep them real close to your plants like an inch away to prevent stretching.kind of expensive though.maybe you should save a lil more and get a digital 600w ballast from bghydro.you can use both mh\hps

i was thinking about using a 400w Hps and like 2 or 3 cfl around
cause my space is 4 x 4 and like 8-9 ft high :rasta:

I think I might get some cfl's instead than a HPS now that I know that it doesnt take as much electricity to run it lol.

I just started using a 125 watt cfl and it is keeping my grow cabinet at a perfect 80 degrees F, and that's up from 65 degree regular room temp. So they give just enough heat to make a nice growing environment.
