Yeah, the 150 watt Sun System lamps are not half bad as long as you know your limitations. They're fine for small grow areas. I imagine you could realistically grow 2-3 plants per light, but I wouldn't expect great results if you did more than that. Plus, you can keep them fairly close to the tops of your plants without burning them. Good luck man.
I was going to get another light here pretty soon... cant beat the price for sure! I think ill do ok for just growing for myself. i just did at pc grow with 3 23w cfls and got 15 grams off of it so im having faith that i will be able to produce a good amount of these next few grows or until i get another one.

The tent that I bought is a GYO "GROW YOUR OWN" 36"x20"x62" tent. Its not really the highest quality tent but you cant beat $75.00 for it off amazon. I am personal grower too so I think its your best bet.
 
I use a 150 hps for autos and veg since autos usually do good with 18/6.I will be posting pics soon of my veg closet with the 150 hps.I might add some 6500 k cfls just to have some blue spec in the veg room.

I could put it in the closet right now with the plants that are flowering under the cfls, but i just want to wait till my tent gets here and set it up once, feel me.... but i did turn it on to bask in the glory! lol i really cant wait to just get it all!

Picked up a Sun System 150w HPS and it came with a Ultra Sun bulb. Is that a good bulb? Are there better bulbs? Thanks, stepped up from CFL's. :)

Those bulbs are fine. There's a place called 1000bulbs.com that has a variety of 150 watt HPS bulbs, but those Ultra Sun bulbs are pretty good. I have two Sun System 150 watt HPS lights that came with those bulbs and in my opinion they do a great job. Good luck.

Thanks Davey Jones. Figured it was fine, there cheap too. Upgraded my light (234w cfl----> 150w hps+cfl as needed) and soil (Hyponex cheapo ---> FFHF and FFOF) for this grow, perhaps FF nutes too, depending on cash. Got a WW bean in the soil a few hours ago. :peace:
