A couple noob questions..

i actually might just buy the entire kit as a package online - seems a lot less stressful

are other lights less tricky to buy than LEDs? like will an HPS bulb that says 300w be 300w?

Yes. And even a good LED will say upfront what the real watts are, but they are pricey. LEDs are just trendy right now and the Chinese manufacturers are taking advantage by upselling their garbage products.

Lighting
I use a MAXIBRIGHT 400w digital ballast, adjust a wing medium reflector and an Omega super HPS lamp for flowering.

Extraction I use
SYSTEM AIR RVK150A1 fan 460m3/h
Rhino pro 900m3/h carbon filter

Inside I use
1 oscillating fan
1 tubular heater (due to location of grow)
Fan controller (temp)
3 passive intake vents
Temp RH gauge.

OUTSIDE I have my ballast and my contactor relay for my lighting timer.

Hey guys - would these lights work okay for 1 plant? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300W-COB-LED-Grow-Light-Hydro-Full-Spectrum-Veg-Flower-Indoor-Plant-Lamp-Panel/392573894336?hash=item5b673a3ec0:m:mrmWYeRNFlNAVDBDQ4qRf7A

Yes. For that, I am truly appreciative. HID is all I use. A 1000W is 1000W. A 600W is 600W. Metal Halide (MH) is for veg. High-Pressure Sodium is for flower.
