I need help with buying lights... i seem to be searching over and over on google and cant find exactly what i want

i want a 150-175 watt metal halide lamp ballast reflector (the whole lamp, not just the ballast, not just the bulb the whole thing)

and i want a 150-175 w HPS light (kit) for flowering.

where can i find such lights at a decent price?

i have 6 plants in about a 4-6' area

You need a 600 for that much space but can get away with a 400. Have you tried hydrohut or hid hut for a 150-175 ?

if ur gonna buy 2 seperate mh and hps systems why would you want to flower with as much watts as you did with vegging. stupidity is right....150 watt mh 400 watt hps is what you need.

the first link, it allows you to use MH bulb AND HPS. so you only need to buy that cause you can use both bulbs in that unit

i know but i have two different grow rooms, one for constant vegging and one for flowering, so i can time my harvests

so i need two different light for two different room, but im not sure what i am going to do, if i get a surplus of money randomly then i might get two of those, otherwise i will get a cheaper MH lamp and the 400w HPS
