hortilux bulbs are damn expensive. but u know, why not fork out another 20 bucks? 20 bucks in the end isnt much when it comes to buds. how many watts u lookin for in ur veg lamp FDD?

i paid $116 just for my 600w bulb at my hydro store. i think they're getting the best of me. it is a "Hortilux".

my hydro store charged me 99.00 for the 1000 watt hortilux bulb i just bought with my new light.....i would look online for sure if i was you...

my veg area is 2 x 3 feet. i wanted T5's but they only come in 2 and 4 foot lengths. i'd go with a 250 MH but my wife would get all pissy. she sees big light and thinks dollar signs. seems like the norm.

Hope No-one minds me asking this here since I got the eys of alot of HID users here thought be okay to ask but Im a CFL-er turning to a HID. Got a sweet ass deal on 3 - 400watters (1 MH 2 HPS)

The real Q is when you plug them in, do you plug them all on the same surge protector or does each one have there own?

Sounds like a really stupid Q but im honestly wondering cause this will be my first time trying them out (which my new grow will start exactly on new years day WooT)

Thanks guys sorry for the such noob ass Q:blsmoke:

welcome aboard. you may a good choice.:blsmoke:

i think they will be ok on the same protector. you can check the amps on the ballasts and add them up. make sure the protector can handle these amps without tripping. or get a second protector. better safe then sorry. :peace:
