My sun system 1000 swtchable MH/hps fell through. It was going to cost buddy $200 to ship it and he made a mistake when placing the ad and it quoted my only $16. I just can'y afford to pay $200 in shipping. I could buy a brand new one for that price combined.

Now I am looking at a 400 watt system for very little and it isn't very far away to drive. I'm calling them tomorrow to see about getting it.
I'm wondering if getting a 400 watt hps and a 400 watt MH and running them together would be close to getting a dual ballast system.

Does anyone know? That is what I am thinking now. And at least if I get them separately, then later if I want 2 grows rooms I won't have to get more wattage.

I have my 100 sun system coming this week so that will put my up to close to 300 watts of light. They are not looking too bad now.

Thanks everyone
