Too Good?

I'm looking for low wattage HPS lights for now, just to get myself going.

Is that price too good to be true?

I'm on my way over to the hydroponics store in about an hour...I'm looking for something complete like that (don't wanna fuck with wiring my own ballast). Does that have everything I need included? Could I just plug that in my wall and go?

What should I ask for at the store? I'd really like whats on that webpage right there, but I'm not certain they will have it.

And, most importantly, is that enough light for 4 plants? I have some CFL's going too, but I wanted to add this in there to really kick start the grow.

If you are going to have very small plants, then yeah you can do it. I would veg one under there then clone it once it is mature then flower all clones once rooted. that way you can get more under the light.

I'm growing in a pretty confined space...prolly 2x2 floor space, and then about 3.5 feet tall. I have a divider in there now, but as the plants grow I can raise or lower the divider.

I'm running the lights 12/12 their whole lives to keep them down. I AM planning on growing some clones once these are almost done.

Edit: Is that a good price then? Should I expect to pay less than $100 at the store for it?

I think its a fair price, but don't 12/12 them from seed, that's not how you keep them low. Keep them low by toping them. when they get to high just top each branch wait a few weeks and then all the bottoms will bush out.

Admittedly, this is my first grow :P

Thanks for the tip, I'll try it next time but its too late with these ladies. May their clones get treated better :]

Prices on the internet can be too good.

As in, scam sites.

I know that HTG is a good site, I actually found that right after I posted, but didn't bother editing haha. I might invest in that one, if the store doesn't have anything I like.

While I'm here (rather than make a new thread) my plants just started showing some buds...should I switch the the "bloom" nutes now? I'll pick some up while I'm at the store :]
