Has anyone ordered anything from these people ? http://www.virtualsunhydroponics.com/ The prices seem to be reasonable, however, i emailed them yesterday with a question but havent heard back yet. I also signed up a friend for a free color catalog over a month ago, and he never got it. Im just wondering if the feds in CA shut them down or what? maybe they are not into email checking ? lol just curious if anyone had any luck with them as i like the 3pk lighting systems for 600 bucks or so. Or maybe point me in the right direction if you know of anywhere else to get good shit....Personally im looking for 400w magnetic ballast, enclosed cool tubes (mag over digital as i have lost 2 digital ballasts due to the power company's quality work.) As always, thanks for your time.

A little bit off topic... So I was browsing the web earlier and came upon this site called propertyroom.com Its basically an auction site that sells all the old items that once belonged to people....that were also in police posession at some point. This includes ballasts, reflectors and even inline fans and what not. Awkward right?

I'm really tempted to try this site out, knowing I'm a medical card holder in CA I think its perfectly fine to use. And honestly I doubt, they'd try and track someone...I could be wrong though. Anyways the highest price I see on here for a ballast is less than a hundred dollars. they also have a shit ton of the sunlight supply ones, and even galaxy and lumatek ballasts all in different wattages and reflectors/hoods listed as well.
Even a couple inline fans here and there.

also found a 3 in 1 ph meter lol http://www.propertyroom.com/l/new-3in1-moisture-ph-and-light-garden-soil-probe-meter-perfect-for-monitoring-plant-soil-conditions/8291087

The thought of being able to purchase a pretty much brand newish top of the line 1000 watt ballast, and reflector for less than a hundred dollars is really stuck in my mind. lol
Prices have almost doubled since you posted this! For example, those Nextgen digi ballasts were going ~$40 before and now they are consistently closing at 65-70.

I ordered a dual 600 watt lumatek with two yieldmaster II reflectors from Grow Wurks. The price was 270 for the ballast and 93 each for the hoods. The shipping was stealth and fast.

The ballast is great and gives me so much flexibility with two separate dimmable controllers. I only grow a few plants at a time so I like scrogging each plant for months so that it fills an 18"x30" screen under the yieldmaster.

I only ordered from them once but it went well.

Im bout to go to hydro store today and get a 1000w full setup. That is a great deal to start with and run a crop through but personaly I am tired of buying used shit or off brand cheapo's. The crappy part is that I am looking at spending probably around 450 for my setup today. Ill let you guys know how much I paid, I am trying to get my hydro store to go online. Most of the shit there is same price as internet before shipping!

For sure getting sun sys balast and Horti bulb. Raptor? I had my heart set on the block buster! I could go with the XXXL hood but the block buster is way cheaper and I have heard puts out a better footprint. I don't know if my hydro store carries raptor hoods?

Ta Ta toothey! ;) ma ma monkey

Yeah tthe Raptor hood is pretty similar to the XXXL so you did your homework. Here in AZ a couple of the grow stores will do a deal where The Raptor Hood - 250.00, cheap 1000W bulb , cheap 1000W ballast for 420.00 so depending where you are you should be able to get a good deal. I'm upgrading to two Raptor hoods and hotilux bulbs. Laters " Boff"

Im looking for a low priced grow box but does decent yield.. i live with my parents so gotta keep it on the dl. i think id be better off buying a grow box with everything. i think i'd prefer LED Bulbs (Mixed Color for All Grow Stages). And maybe a box that can grow 2-4 plants. Anyone got some info please help. Btw im new to this but have been trying research for a long time now..

you can make your own Co2 tank using sugar water and yeast, its probably not as effective as a actual tank and controller but has worked fine for me
