What size space are you using, I probably won't be able to give you too much help cos I run a fairly small set up and I'm only just starting my second grow but definitely need to know how much space you have before anyone can give you advice on lights

If your starting small, why buy all those lights? Start with one and go from there. Best advice if this is your first grow and you have a lot of money to spend....READ and LEARN before you spend lots of money. That way you will spend money wisely. Dont forget, MORE lights generate MORE heat which needs MORE ventilation which means MORE electricity which means the cost is MORE. Get where I'm going? Start small and save the big bucks till you know what your doing then make the investment. Just my opinion

You could get a 600W HPS for your first grow, they are the most efficient HPS bulbs and then you can later just build it up and get more when you're ready and you know what you need
