Well I guess leave it to people in the Midwest then cause that's where they're located. It's the closest grow store to me and I originally saw the promo when I went and bought some 8inch mother blocks and a few other things. They are a little high on some things but they are always running something to equalize it

getting ready to start growing and I spent about 4 days looking for the things I'll need...today I came across this whole setup (minus the DWC)....all their reviews seem to be good for the products I looked at and if I bought this I'd save on shipping costs from buying from different stores...let me know what you think...

It looks pretty complete. The only concern i'd have is the tent size. 5' height, - 12" for hanging light and filter, - 12" for clearance from light to canopy, - 12" for pots/dwc = only 2' for plants. Also, just bare bulb hanging in that small of an area is going to heat up quickly. If you were to replace that reflector with a cool tube and pump that heat out, it would stay much closer to room temp. I thinks its a good deal bc it has vent/timer/clamps/etc... but for $400 you can just buy a 7' tall 4x4 or 4x2 tent and a cooltube lght/bal combo and a fan/filter setup from the same place and add the little extras for a few more bucks. There is a 600w combo, metal halide and hps bulbs, cool tube, ratchet hangers, and dig ballast on amazon for $165.

damn...didn't think about the height situation with the DWC and the light...only problem is the ceiling is 6ft. & some change..maybe 6.4ft-6.5ft...was also looking at the cool-tube....would that work if I were to set the filter up on the outside of the tent and have the fan suck the air out? does it matter if the air going through the cool-tube is blowing through or sucking out?
if it must blow through I would probably have to run a duct from the window to the tent through the cool-tube and out the other side...I was planning on having only the light & DWC (and small fan) inside the tent...sucking the air out to the filter...

folloed the link and a review on the site said only about 5 of the 24 tubes had fresh wraps and the rest were all brittle and crackly.
Did u experience this?
Anyone else got a source for books of blunt papers? .......+rep awaits!

If possible, you always want your fan pulling air. If you were to leave one end of the cooltube open (to remove heat and odor from the tent) and vent the other end outside the tent and hook up to the pulling side of the fan and hook the filter to the blowing side of the fan, it will work great and save you some space. The cooltube only takes up 6-8 vertical inches and if your running a 6inch fan (400-450 cfm) and filter, air will move fast enough to allow you to have a 600w bulb 10-12 inches from the canopy. Quick note about the filter, make sure the charcoal is 2" thick all the way around, ive tried the cheap filters (1-1 1/2" thick) and they dont remove smells very well. So if the hole in the filter for the vent pipe is 6", then the filter should have a 10" diameter (6"+2"+2"). That tent size will work if you plan ahead, shorter strains without much stretch, lst'ing and supercropping, and i would start with 1 plant in a shallow, wide pot so your space doesnt get overwhelmed (wide roots equal wide plants). Find you a rubbermaid tub thats like only 8-10" tall but 16 x 24-30" wide. Small spaces are very doable, but they require some extra planning and work, which will make you a better gardener. It makes you crafty!!! lol!

awesome man thanks
Hello, I wanted to post these 2 deals I found on Ebay. After a lot of searching, these are the 2 cheapest complete 400w systems.
1: http://www.ebay.com/itm/400-Watt-HPS...80487146167%26
2: http://www.ebay.com/itm/400w-400-wat...item2569770c9d
The Ipower is about $26.39 cheaper, but I went with the Growace.com version for 3 reasons
1-I like that Growace made a nice video detailing exactly what you'll recieve.
2-After watching YouTube videos of people opening their Ipower package, I noticed that Ipower seems to simply put all thier components in a big box and fill up the empty space with popcorn packing material. Growace (as that dude in the video says) has a more custom made shipping package and I'm sure we have all seen Fed-Ex video.
3-Both MH are rated at 36,000 lumens, but the Ipower HPS is rated at 50,000 lumens (ipowergrowlight.com), where as the Growace HPS is rated at 55,000 lumens.
Are these 3 reasons enough for you to spend an extra $26.39, I don't know, but they were for me. You can also get get either system with just an HPS bulb, but the saveings is minimal. If you don't need/want the cool tube, both sellers offer a range of reflector options. The basic Gull-Wing style shaves about $25 off the price. Hope this is helpful to you.

This is by far the best deal I have ever seen on a complete closet set up... seriously... could this be the best deal EVER?!?!? http://www.ebay.ca/itm/300854221777?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:VRI&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2661
The first time I saw this ad.. the price was $420... He really shouldnt have dropped the 5 cents... LOL

its all shit equipment if thats what you're looking for
And your source for this? They offer a 3 year no hassel warranty... which leads me to believe it cant possibly be THAT bad... To get 3 years of growing min. out of a $420 investment is not bad at all imo!

90% of it will need to be upgraded by your 3rd grow. Trust me.

He's kind of right.. My very first grows were done with 1000W HPS System from China I ordered on Ebay.. I think the ballast, hood, and bulb package was like 300 bucks. It was a good investment to get me started because I made my money back of course but about 3 grows later I upgraded the room with top of the line equipment, and you can definitely tell the difference when you plug in a 1000W Phantom Ballast by Hydro Farm versus the 1000W China made ballast you can tell the difference the minute you power up the good ballast. The China shit isnt a bad investment it will get you started and produce good buds.
I don't agree Jay3Lee, it's not all crap, it's a descent setup. On the other hand, doing a quick total, it's not a good deal as you can buy all that stuff seperatly for less.(on Ebay ofcouse)
light system-$145, fan-$60, filter-$35, tent-$83, ducting and clamps-$14-Total=$337 (on U.S. Ebay, just noticed your in Cananda)

The light link I already posted. Hope you didn't order that kit yet. Happy growing.
Yes.. but how much is the total shipping charge for all of those items combined? $420 INCLUDES shipping! And would be WAY less hassel when dealing with warranty issues etc.
Most likely yes... but after 3 crops you should have a nice little slush fund that can be re-invested into better equipment. And why pay to replace.. when they offer a 3 year no hassel warranty for return/exchange? Seems to me it would be very feasible to run this set up for the full 3 years if getting the most out of the warranty... Any way you slice it.. to hit the ground running with new gear for $420 bucks is a pretty good deal imo!
In comparison.. I had a friend that set up with 6 digital ballasts.. 3 were Lumilux, the other 3 were Quantum ballasts (Ive heard these are both top of the line brands)....... He has been running them for only 6 months, and he has already had warranty issues with 2 of the ballasts (one of each kind!). It seems it really doesnt matter if you spend 100 bucks on a ballast.. or 250.... there is still just as good a chance you will run into problems.. New cars are the same deal... just as likely to break down as something 20 years old... the only difference is the cost to replace/fix it.. Gotta love planned obselescene.. people design shit to wear out.. so that you have to go buy another one as soon as the warranty expires.. capitalism at its finest! LOL
