hey, im setting up my new grow box, and have not yet desided what light to use. at the moment ive got 200w of cfl on them, and so far its done them well. but i dont think i can ever grow without HPS again lol. my grow box inside dimentions are 45cm * 65cm * 110cm, my first thought was to buy a 70w HPS security light from screwfix (uk) for £30, but thought i mite require more light. my ideal wattage would be 250w which i had last time but my budget is alot lower and the only 250 i can get will cost me about 90quid. i looked at buying all parts seperatly and a 250 ballast buld and E40 socket will come to about 65 quid. my last idea was to get a 600w 'poot grow light' which they have at basement lighting for 54.95. I know 600w would be way too much for my space so thought i would put a 400w bulb in it as ive heard this works. i know the main issue would be heat so a cooltube would be fitted, would also wire the ballast to be remote to help out with heat issues.
