Thanks for the info.. Around 8 feet was exactly what I was thinking. I know that digital ballasts are much newer tech and more appealing, but considering the circumstances the goods just don't out way the bads. There's still a lot of people using mag. ballast with good results. And honestly I...

Just did a bunch of reading on digital vs magnetic and it turns out that there's still a ton of growers that still use magnetic and actually preferred them..and the reliability of digital ballasts seemed to be a major issue.. And it's so easy to rebuild a magnetic.. I'm definitely still...

I'm trying

Ok...so I can't re-wire one of these lights so the fixture/buld is in the grow space and the ballast is in another?. I'm not talking far.maybe 10'-20'.. Sorry to sound dumb man.

Got it..so basically no.

So my local wizmart has almost stopped selling CFLs completely and switched to these household LEDs that look like old school incandescent bulbs.. Are these worth a damn for growing?

I agree with all of you...just looking for some pot size insite from some experienced growers.
