hi i am a total newb who just purchased a 250w metal halide ballast with mogul and 3-prong power chord. I also have the 250w lamp (compliant with the ballast), and a light timer. i am about to purchase some mylar. i am pretty sure this is all i need and im very excited to start growing, but i'm worried i may be forgetting something.
This is my 1st growing experience and I'll be spending about $160 total.
Is there anything else I need? Am I missing some silly little chord that will end up putting me back a few weeks? Are digital ballasts (expensive) the better route for newbs? Are there any other mistakes I'm prone to make (I am not mechanically inclined)
I work at McDonalds and don't have much money so I need to be very efficient with my cash. I'm a little paranoid/worried here (probably cuz I'm smoking). Any tips?
