400 watt Hps Light Question

[officernasty]

i was looking into getting a 400 watt hps light from HTG supply, this one exactly http://www.htgsupply.com/Product-HTGSupply-400-watt-High-Pressure-Sodium-Grow-Light.asp# my question is how many plants can i grow with just this one light? im only grow 2 at a time because thats all i have room for, would this be sufficient for 2 plants?

A fellow grower friend of mine who I just came from looking at his setup with 600 Wat MHS/ 400 watt HPS and he has two great girls, Very Tall he stretches them out with the 600 and they fit the 400 watt perfectly.
He has like 3 gallon and there taller than 6'.

I basically have the same light from HTG, except I bought the Ultimate so it is MH/HPS. I am growing 3 plants with it, but it is good enough to go to 4-5 plants. You are fine with that light and the number of plants you want to grow.

Ya me too. I've had it for over two years with no trouble. You may want to consider getting MH/HPS on this page it's not much more and the benefits are obvious. Plus you get the duel outlet timer, which you'll need.

1 plant per 100 watts is ideal. So, 2 with a 400 is just fine. Nice and cozy. I like HTG's magnetic ballasts.

ya after i posted this i saw the mh/hps one with the duel outlet timer, do you know how much it costs you in electricity monthly?

I just got that light last week, came right away 3 days. Working good so far.

I can answer that for you. I live in a high rise and I was worried too about how they ship the products. They ship everything in an unmarked brown box, so go ahead and feel free to order.

That will work but to tell you the truth, it's not worth the money.

There is a reason that entire package costs less then a single "quality ballast", or a single "quality bulb".
HTG supply is like the harbor freight of grow equipment.

it doesnt matter if its shitty to me, if it gets the job done then thats all i need it to do
