I use a 600 watt dimmabe omega ballast and have it just over a year and have had no problems so far . Would recommendHappy new year to everybody. I just moved from california to ireland a month ago and am ready to get my grow going. I bought a 2 ft 4 bulb t5 to get some seeds going but Im not sure which 600 watt ballast to get. My local shop has a lumii digita for a decent price but ive read a lot of bad reviews about them failing within a year. I was also thinking about just getting one of the cheap omega kits on amazon since it has a 5 year warranty. Does anybody have experience with either of these ballasts? Thanks for any input

Thanks for the warm welcome. I will be doing a 4 plant scrog in a 5x5 tent but only using 4x4 of it with a 600watt mh/hps. Ill be using some sort of soilless medium with bottled nutes in 1 then 5 gallon pots. Not sure which strains ill be going with but most likely 2 indica dominant hybrids and 2 sativa dominant.@chronnie49 also, welcome to ireland, welcome to the irish thread, and happy growing dude...
you going for soil, hydro, coco....fill us in...
It gets hot but nothing you couldn't touch. If temps are an issue id keep it outside your tent as i do normallyThats great to hear. Does it get very hot?
Google is your friendI obviously need to get used to using meters and liters instead of feet and gallons also haha.
Nice that sounds about normal. Do you use air cooled hoods here in the winter? Im thinking of just opening a Window in the room the tent will be in and going with an adjust a wing for now but ill go with air cooled if necessary. Ill have to see what temps look like once i buy everything.It gets hot but nothing you couldn't touch. If temps are an issue id keep it outside your tent as i do normally
