come on guys please help me out

Depends on how much you would like to spend.

you could get a HID kit that won't require much work to install but will probably cost a little or you could go the route of CFLs or you could combime CFLs & Fluros or you could do L.E.D. which I believe are still being tested but several people are currently using them. Heck if you have the space & money combine all of them in all the different spectrums & you probably get the best light set up ever!

Only the HID set-up will present a heat issue.

where can i get a 1000 watt HID light and dont they have 2 holes on them for letting air in and heat out please tell me if iam wrong and thanks for the help

come on guys you got to know where i could get the lights at

hydrostores or websites like htgsupply.com and hydroponics.net the air cooled is a good way to go but plan on spending a little more on supplies and electricity. Your houses elictricity should be fine just make sure to spred out the power if your using anything more than that 1000 watt. and btw i think more 600 or 400s are better than one 1000. also get a digital ballast u wont regret it

where could i get the digital ballast

i got mine on the web

Do a google search on "hydroponic lighting" - it doesn't matter if you are growing in soil - but this will narrow down the search.

You can read and educate yourself about lighting that way or check out the Grow FAQs on this (and other) websites or you can purchase or peruse indoor gardening (including the marijuana-based) books at your local or online bookstore.

And to be blunt - if that sounds like too much work - then you may want to reconsider growing as it can be a lot of work.

thanks guys for the help i found the one iam getting for cheap and oh yeah they are 600 watt air cooled

Did you get a good deal & where did you get it? Now that you have the info share the wealth my friend. Thanks. I am a noobie too

Customize Your Grow Light

i selected the 600 watts then i picked the HIGH PRESSURE SODIUM then i picked the Super Sun 2 - 6 Inch Air Cooled Reflector for $105 and after that i clicked the Galaxy 600 Watt Electronic Ballast 120/240 Volt - $192.95 and the last thing i clecked on was the Sylvania GroLux - 600 Watt High Pressure Sodium Bulb - $91.95
