If you're trying to be economical, you can check out the grow in my signature that uses T8 fixtures.

But I would highly recommend a HPS for growing. It seems you need to look through the FAQ and a few stickies.
 
ok i was gunna get a hps / mh conversion setup but its not digital my friend told me it would be to loud. idk i thought it was a good setup thats y im asking if i should go with the digital or not

Oh and digital won't make a significant difference, slightly less power consumption I believe.

But seriously the sound of your light should be the last of your noise related issues.

A coil wound balast dont make much noise unless its very old or bust, a digital gives about 30% more light from same bulb and normaly has a better startup to make ya bulb last longer, hope this helps?
