Nice, thanks for checking I'll leave it hanging for this grow if I don't like it then I'll switch to a reflector again.

hortilux hps 600 watt. it's adjustable so you can run a 1k or the 600 by moving the socket up and down in the hood.

CRI of 93, my plants love them, make dense, frosty flowers! I only use HPS to fill in a lil red spectrum anymore.

Don't believe the website; these run on the MH setting of a thousand watt MAGNETIC ballast ONLY. There is currently no digital ballast that will run them.

i unfortunately don't have enough spare amps in my house.. a 600 watt at 240V was the most I could use.

no problem. so are you hanging the 1k and the 250 in the same space? what is your setup gonna be?

It's just one more amp, the results will certainly pay for themselves.

the 600 does just fine for now. my space is 12 sqft. one day i hope to run 240 out to the garage and build a sealed, CO2 enriched with A/C and the whole works grow room. then do some type of stadium grow that would make Heath Robinson proud.

The 250 is gonna hang in a homemade tent I have going on, have some t5's in there at the moment to bring the seeds up, will take them out next week and put the 250 in.

The 1000 is going into an attic room that should be ready by October
