Hey i need help with what kind of light i should use when they are in a veg state and for clones. I hear that a MH light is the way to go in this situation if that is the truth what wattage should i get for a little closet grow where the ceiling is 2ft? Need to get a good light on them asap and i plan to buy a 400 watt HPS light for flowering in a bigger area with a ScrOG grow.

The room is only 2' high? Your not going to be able to get plants and HID lights in that kind of space together. MH and HPS are your optimum lights.

i understand that i cant use that for anything more then a little cloning area and for germinating but im trying to figure out what wattage MH light i need

depends on how much area have to grow with... Get too big of a light and your area will get too hot, too little light and your slowing your process and/or decreasing your yeilds.

well basically i have a bigger dresser and i used the bottom area as a little veg, seedling, cloning area and then using the top for a ScrOG grow with a 400 watt HPS. but i think i found a website that actually is perfect it tells you what the light will work for in dimensions rather then just wattage......perfect. 2' x 2' area

Just go with the 2ft floro tubes. there perfect for seedling-veg-and clones. Seems perfect for your needs.

I agree with Ivory. Your going to have problems with any HPS and/or MH in that small of a space. Maybe just maybe you might be able to squeeze a 175w HPS/MH in there... I don't know how much heat the 175w'ers give off.

i stopped by a local hydro store in town here and i saw a digital ballast that was something like $200 but it could support an HPS or a MH lamp has anyone heard anything on these and if so are they worth the money i know you have to pay for the lamp and the hood but JW

too, big, expensive. and hot for such a small space. fluoro tubes. the temp of those lights would be my concern in such a small space. just grow on the roof. no ceiling up there.

i wish i could grow on my roof would be so peaceful but i was actually asking about the digital ballast for when i move my plants into my flowering area i also heard this digital ballast is extremely quiet. comments???
