tell me what light to buy

[familyguy]

save some more money hombre...

if u know how to do electrical buy a bare bones ballast and wire it yourself...these are usually around 100 bucks if u know someone....then u need a reflector $35 bucks, and a socket 5-25.....

get a 600w..... i am surprised how many people dont get powerful lights....the small ones do the job.... but if u wanna grow the good bud u've been buying they use 600 and 1000s, 400's are for veg rooms....

ok so I got seeds germinating
I need to buy lights that I can use for veg and flowering
and I don't want to spend too much more than $100 on the lights
I don't pay for the power but I also don't want to use alot to make it a big difference
please enlighten me
thanks

and why not cop the 400w hps from insidesun
it is cheaper then what you just mentioned

Check out ticoblunts thread. Oh wait, they're out of your price range

Insidesun looks pretty good, even though it's a refurbished ballast. Ebay also has very competitive prices.

no ballast required he is talking about energy saving lights the sprial type also known as CFL's (compact fluorescent light) you can buy them ANYWHERE they range from 13watt to 42watt but i have seen 55w ones get the biggest you can find

i think kosmo was talking about howsyourroofs post about the MH???

i dunno, maybe im just too nosy

I got my 400 watt metal halide off of ebay for 17 bills. plus 15 for shippin. it was a industrial light though but i just took the ballast and what not out of the shell so i could keep the ballast out of the grow room. works great, just underestimated the heat.
