Well first off the light sizes for HPS are 150, 250, 400, 600, 1000, and I think there's a 2000 or some shit. The MH are 250, 400, and 1000. MH (Metal Halide) are best used for veg and are the best on the market for vegging. HPS (High Pressure Sodium) are best for flower and are the best on the market for flowering. The typical prices locally for me for HPS complete systems are $200-400 depending on the system. I'm gettin mine from a local shop (guys hella cool and giving me a fuckin sick price) for $250 complete system no matter the watt lol.My other best bud has a friend on the Island that is deeply knowlageble with Hydroponics and the grow industry and my be able to hook me up with an HPS set up.
I'll ask him tonight if hes available.
What's a good price (for you guys locally) to get a 2-300 Hps light set up?
yeah and u still grow in ur parents basement rite, they will notice a spike in the bill with any light other than flouros. keep ur head out the clouds guys, it's too easy to get stuck up there haha.I would get some flouresent tubes this way you can get to grips with growing at a cheep rate.Get cool daylight spec tese will give the plants a little help in getting to the right size to flower.But don't expect big yeild because it just won't happen with flouresents or cfl's.But you may get enougth to invest in a hps light then you can sit back and watch the grass grow.
