if you only have 2 plants get a 150watt high pressure sodiam bulb and ballast that will do fine

400 watter are perfect for first time lights if u have a proper room to grow in and u can grow a lot more plants under it...doesnt run too hot either Ive had it 12 inches from plants before while flowering with no prob

I would suggest you buy two of those, $40 plus shipping, just cause it's such a good deal. 300w is just what a computer might use, insignificant.

Towlee those are legit many people have bought and received them and they work great. So far not one person has been dissatisfied with the light or the company selling it, and they're easy as can be to take the dome off and throw a diy reflector on or whatever.

That won't have half the lumens of the $20 hps.
