I, personally buy the ballast kits...a ballast box and the hortilux 1000hps...or, they have their own light systems now, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy them...

another option is ebay...seedstarting>growlights is your search...people are always selling raw ballasts and used 1000w lamps...also; I would not shy away from a great deal on 1000w MH either...that is why I have 2

regardless of peoples opinions; There is nothing wrong with a MH for flower...1000watts is 1000watts. the only thing is, the MH has about 30,000 lumens output, than an hps...but keep in mind...that is still alot more than 400w...
and they make great MH bulbs with enhanced red spectrum.

And God forbid, you could afford, The Hortilux Blue 1000w MH bulb...that is the shit...alot say better than the 1000w horti hps...but It costs $200 bucks... so, I still don't have one. lw

okay well i think im going to get the ballast,igniter,capacitor,mogul socket off of ebay and going to buy the bulb and hood locally (because i live in hawaii and to ship big things cost a lot)

Hey ive been growing outdoors for a long time now but due to green harvest being alot more strict i had to move everything inside, well i just started germinating another batch, my question is can i veg the plants outside and then flower them under a hps light indoors? also if i have 15 10" pots side by side 3x5 how big of a light do i need? can i get away with a 400w or should i get a 600w or a 1000w?

400 watt will do ,

400 watt was a bit for my taste in our bath tub. It was to hot, so im using
250 watt metal halide

It is so interesting to see how different circumstances cause people to do completely different things, in the same situation.
Back in the day, I used a 400wMH and a 250whps in my shower, and had no heat problem...lol, isn't that wierd?

Can you build this light yourself? If not.... Then you should get 1 that is good ta go! Reason I say is cause ya gonna have to get help if ya can't,and you've got a breech in security!
