Searching for cheap HPS!

Plus rep and a lot of gratitude to anybody who can find me a cheap 250 watt or higher HPS grow light online that accepts money orders.

I'm using fluoros right now and I think hps would be better for flowering... right?

Oh and by cheap my goal is like... under $80. :blsmoke:

HTGSupply is always a reliable source for some pretty cheap lights compared to the other hydro stores. The shipping could get a little expensive though, but I definitely think it's well worth it.

I'm in the same situation as you. From what I've gathered that 250watt HPS has an amazing price but it's from a company called Inside Sun whose rep is far from good. Complaints tend to be emails are ignored, it can take 5+ weeks to ship, and the ballast has some really shoddy work. (Sometimes even a fire hazard!)

I'd suggest going to HTGSupply. You can get a 150w for $85 shipped or a 250w for $140 shipped and they are very reliable and new. (Not a refurb like the 250 above.) Unfortunately under $80 for a 250w+ isn't possible. I've searched EVERYWHERE. I hope someone can prove me wrong though cuz I'd buy one today too!

Good luck man!

Yeah, I didn't look at who sold it, I just found an $80 hps.I'd say htg is the best bet, but you won't get a 250 for 80 bucks.:bigjoint:

Stoney McFried, yeah it sucks. Inside Sun's website has crazy prices. You can get a 400w HPS for $120 shipped. I guess you get what you pay for. :wall:

yes they do. i ordered 2 600 hps and a bunch of supllies last week. i sent out my $ orders last sat, and my order was shipped yesterday. they seem to have good service, and they were about 500.00 (total order) cheaper than any of my local grow shops. i dealt with tony, very nice guy and very helpful
