I have a quick question for all of you 400w users. I am looking to upgrade to a 400 in the future, but the shipping to where I live has been ridiculous on the 400w systems I have looked at so far. I found this earlier but didn't pursue it because I kept looking at grow specific lights. I am beginning to see this as my best option though and am looking for others' opinions on it before making a purchase. Have any of you ever used anything by econolight, and do their systems last? I would likely buy this light
http://www.e-conolight.com/e-wpdh40qz.html and purchase a grow specific bulb elsewhere to use in place of the bulb it comes with.
Also, would it be better to purchase both MH and HPS bulbs or just a HPS or CMH bulb? I have grown with CFLs and a 150w HPS before, but am looking to upgrade to a larger light that could cover a couple decent sized plants as well as light for some of my indoor veggies. If this does not seem like a good idea, what would you suggest instead? Heat is not an issue as I can remote the ballast myself and it will be in a decent sized closet (6' x 2.5' x 6' lwh) with good ventilation.
