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.
