I know how you feel, i also DONT buy online, i cant trust anyone.

And now, Low Pressure Sodium... Something i haddnt heard ANYONE talk about untill very recently.

I saw a chart, and the lumen output of a LPS is higher than a HPS.

It went:

Flous
MH
HPS
LPS

LPS being the highest lumen output. With 250 watts you should get some very nice buds, and its certainly beter than using CFL's, although high wattage CFL's in the right spectrum can be VERY good too, but nothing can match HPS/LPS.
LIP Reviewed by LIP on . Homedepot Hps,Lps,Mh Hi i was just on the site and notice that they are actually carrying these lights now. I was just wonder how good homedepot's hps and mh are. I am new to these lights so help me out. now i am planning on hetting a hps and a mh from there if you think they are worth it or get what you paid for situation because i am currently growing with CFLs and they are working fine but still am interested in better lighting.
