Default Serious lighting question!
I have 3 clones growing in a small closet, under 5 cfls. they're doing great right now in veg but im planning on upgrading my light for the flowering stage

ive been looking around forever for what i should get, any adivce? (a built in ballist system would be awesome)

i was looking at this Buy 250W Econogro Mini Plant Grow Light System Here!

and this Buy 400W Econogro Mini Plant Grow Light System Here!

halp!

Hi IC3R78,

The light you are looking at is a Metal Hallide. This is great for vegetative growth, but not so usefull for the flowering phase.

I would suggest a 400W/600W HPS (High Pressure Sodium)

Sun System Dual HPS 600w Ballast w/ Inline timer & lamp - (eBay item 120154462707 end time Sep-02-07 20:00:00 PDT)

That Yahoo Store is really expensive. Definately look for a 600W or 400W at the minimum.

Get a 400w and you will never look back. If you don't you will want more.
