Is it worth it to buy 150 watt HPS light???

man if you can wait till the mid of next week i'll be glad to let you know. That's when I'll be gettin my 150w hps, im currently using cfl's to and have my doubts im lookin for more dense buds not the fluffy airy looking buds, but when I get it i'll put some pic's up sorry I couldn't really help im in the same boat haha

Lol yeah, for $70 bucks it kind makes me just wanna try it. I need to learn a little more about how to vent the hood first.

a little more expensive than 70 bucks but not much and you get a nice little kit. 400w for 1 plant is about right will give you a nice yeild

I grew a QP with two 150 watt bare bulbs from security light.

Heck, I just put 6 0z out with my 250w security light and I was gutted!

but how many plants???

400 watts will grow more, no doubt. What you have to consider is not what it can yield but what you are growing and in how much space. If all you grow or need is 1 or 2 small plants at a time then the 150 is great. 400 watts requires more space, more cooling and costs more than twice as much to run. If you can get the ballast outside of your grow box or space a 150w bulb will produce no more heat than a few cfl bulbs. But then if you want to grow a tree you need 400w or more.
