Threw a 400 watt hps, wing reflector in my closet with 6 soil plants. Tangerine haze and juicy fruit. its been tricky getting the temp dialed, but i think i figured it out. i used a computer fan for an intake and exhaust, keeping it around 80 degrees. they have been in veg for about a week.

Click to expand...

the bulb is $50 shipping included...will run on your 400 watt hps ballast if it is a magnetic core ballast and not digital

So not much money eh??
