Where on this fine planet of mine did you get a 150w HPS for 75$?

Call electrical/lighting outfitters in your phonebook.. The kind of places contractors would buy from.. They'll have the best prices on any lights.. I got a couple 400W hps kits for $55cdn (it was a damn good sale), and MH were cheaper yet.. They came with everything expect wiring and hoods.. (Well on one deal aluminum high-bay reflectors were included, but they are base up reflectors..)

Thanks, I was leaning towards doing that. Onvernute is the only thing I can think of that caused this.

I bought my lights from a friend that quit growing but you can get the same lights here http://www.horticulturesource.com/pr...oducts_id/4655 for the same price.

wow thats cool but over $1000 why not just order a premade one online to save time and trouble of making one? A cabinet thing that is, I am new to this so i am just asking.

Half way through the build I was thinking just that. So I started looking in to tents but soon realized that is has that (what the fuck is that in the corner type of look) The cab I have looks like an ordinary storage space. Then I looked in to those pre made cabs which looked nice but I had already mutilated the shit outta the one I purchased and couldn't return it back to the store. If I knew I was going to spend this much on it I would of bought a pre made one to be honest with you but fuck it, at least I know I can build some shit from start to finish and not be half assed.

hmm.. well since you did such a nice job on yours, and you are happy with it... which would you recommend to us lazy bastards less willing to get down on some construction. well... you can't really "recommend" per se but what were you looking at???

Including tool prices is harsh too.. Now you have tools.. If you're a craftsman at all you can do better than one of those stupid tents for less money..
Besides, you went way overboard on detailing aspects, and overpaid for alot of stuff you could have gotten free.. ($7 for a 5Gal pail?? I get those when I walk my dog on garbage night )
I'm not criticizing, thats the way 90% of new grows go down.. I probably blew more money than you did, and I even owned tools..

I'm not sure to be honest but I'd get an empty one if possible and buy the equipment separately.

I know man tell me about it. I knew I was spending a bunch on it but I was in a rush to get a cab up and running. I did my best to look for shit so I wouldn't buy it but I had no freaking luck. Seems like everyone in my neighborhood doesn't toss shit out. But like you said at least I now have tools, I can always build a bigger and better cabinet if I decide to.
