Found this 400w hps/mh on ebay w/ cooltube. Pretty attractive price. A bit concerned that the bulbs aren't going to be good quality though. Anyone get something like this with good results?

I bought a 250w kit very similar. The bulbs were meh at best. I ended up buying a GE Lucalox HPS to replace the HPS that came in the kit. I don't use MH since I just run a 12/12 from seed perpetual grow.

yeah i agree the bulb quality is low that's how they are selling them so cheap but i got the same one (400) been running without a break for over a year now.it will work fine but after first crop i would invest in a quality bulb. that same light grew the bud in my avatar by the way.<

Don't get me wrong, I harvested a couple quality crops with the generic bulb. It's just I noticed a huge difference after using the Lucalox.

Could anyone in the uk recommend a cabinet or pc case at a decent price for a begginer, for a full start to finish grow? Cheers in advance.

get on ebay and look at grow tents sure you can find one to fit your needs.just remember get bigger than you think you'll need because believe me you will always need more room ,light,ventalation etc it never ends .

I can't speak for that particular one, but I got http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005ECZVXK/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 this one andi I like it so far. I liked this one because it's a little bigger and more robust. So far it's working great. The bulbs seem good so far. It does put off some heat, so depending on your setup be careful, but to be honest, I have it in my spare room closet and I leave the door 1/4 open and I have no issues with heat even without a fan right now. My next purchases are inline fan/carbon filter, and ducting, but frankly don't have the issues with heat during the winter. We're luck up north that sometimes heat is as easy as checking it a couple times a day and cracking a window for 5 minutes. Apollo has been great so far. Granted I only bought the light about a week ago, but so far it's been perfect. I had an issue with the hps bulb breaking in transport, and I dropped the timer and broke it, but I contacted them and literally within one hour got an email back and they sent them priority mail. I was impressed with the service. I got the dimmable ballast too, which with the 1000W is important. From what I hear 1000W is a waste during veg, and only about half is needed so setting it on 50% is awesome and saves some electricity in the process.


found this guy on amazon too. Looks like a good deal. again, concerned with quality. Especially since this one doesn't have any reviews. Thoughts?

I scored a package from this guy over six months ago and the ballast and bulbs work great. Haven't had any problems at all. The prices seemed pretty good so I chanced it and I have to say in six months everything works perfectly and I've been using it constantly...the dimmable 600watt ballast and the HPS and the MH bulbs that it came with. Check him out for yourself.. Oh yeh...one of the bulbs he sent me for the 600w unit was a mistake. He sent me a 1000 watt bulb...sent me another bulb (600Watter) and just let me keep the 1000 watter. Guess it wasn't worth paying to have it resent back...but he made good+++ http://stores.ebay.ca/Hobby-Lights-Oneshop/Package-Deal-/_i.html?_fsub=3494238018&_sid=857783538&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322
