thats odd,
that dosnt sound like such a bad deal. but I think it would be like 150 cheaper if you would have bought them seperate, and they would have been able to cover a larger space, but this is just me trying to be cool
jk I dont need to try and be cool, I'm cool as it is

I do have 2, I have 3 actually but the 3rd one is in a box, I bought it for no reason good to have a backup though!
I dont really think I need to have a MH, I mean sure things might grow alittle better, but I dont really see it making a huge difference, I use the 430 watt bulbs with the enhanced spectrum anyway, so it kind of like you havwe a little bitch ass 50W MH in their
maybe one day I will have the money and space to have as many hps and MH lights as I want!!!! one day

mh is the fuckin shit for your foliage/ veg stage.
i used 400w mh only for around 1 1/2 months and had 32" females the males were even taller than that.
as soon as i switched out to Hps 400w everything stop growing and went into shock for about a week and still now (2 weeks later) the leaves are all limp unlike with the mh they stuck out like they were in electric shock.
I wish my hps would do for the buds what the mh did for growth
