That one has an open reflector instead of one stuck in the hood...does that make a difference?

I just can't afford $300 right now, sadly. I think I will go for the cool tube reflector you guys found :)! Even if it doesn't work that well, it beats 10 23watt cfls?

I just can't afford a nice ballast/reflector, sadly...these are my best options, any idea which one seems to "shine" more ;D? http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Dimmable-Ballast-Light-System/dp/B0071GCPYU http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...=SPM5976034601...

How's this one instead - http://www.greners.com/i/grow-lights/hoods-reflectors/hoods-with-built-in-ballast/sunburst-400w-hps-mh-convertible.html

soooo...to hijack my thread back, are the ballast and the reflector i linked earlier decent?

is my ballast decent enough? and the reflector?

I could buy like 7 of the cheap HPS for the same price of a hortilux hps though..

These are the final products I plan to buy (I will only buy one bulb..I have to decide which I want to come with the ballast): http://www.amazon.com/Sylvania-64490-Metal-Halide-Light/dp/B000TZSZAS http://www.amazon.com/Philips-36881-1-Ceramalux-Pressure-C400S51/dp/B003YO0WWA...

Sick! Thank you so much :)! I'm getting a $15 HPS and a $25 mh. So I pay $40 for two and everyone else is paying $150? haha:blsmoke:

I can get a sylvania 400w MH for $25...or a hortilux for like $70...seems way too expensive for me, but what would the biggest difference be? The hortilux has a broader spectrum?

double post sorry

rep'd for such a happy plant :) I'm loving the updated pictures! She looks gorgeous and I can tell she's going to end up fantastic :bigjoint:

Looks like you got yourself a little nitrogen deficiency ;)! Nothing too big but it could slow the growth of your plant! Other than that she looks absolutely gorgeous! How long until you flower?

I went to the local grow/hydro store today and checked out some ballasts and reflectors...they were charging $200 for ballasts and $150 or so for reflectors...I'm sure I could get that cheaper online. I'm looking into a ballast that will take HPS and MH and I'm looking into cooled reflectors...

Oh, the ventilation labeled in the picture is actually a duct that pulls air out not just a hole of some sort...so i can probably turn that on fairly high.

I'm working on the ballast and reflector as we speak XD! I'm not sure how to buy one cheap...kinda thinking i want one with mh/hps and just get a switching reflector/ballast. you can get some pretty cheap HPS that still get the job done. How would you recommend cooling it more?

Haha, it's only been 2 days and I'm absolutely dying to see how they're doing! Any updates?

What colors? Can you provide pictures?

Today I saw a 400w MH bulb at the store and I HAD to get it :) I'm going HID after almost a year now :)
