90pound? thats around 150usd? give or take right? perhaps you can get yourself a 400watt HPS and use fewer plants, more plants doesnt mean more ganja, less plants packed in with a high intensity light will produce heavier yeild, you will get more fluff buds than nuggs under the floros

ok if i get a 400w hps light would i need cooling system for it and how many plants do you think i could get under it i already have the fluoros so could i use them for cloning or something ??

found a website doing a 600 w one and ballast and reflector for £85 so could i use the fluoros for growing the clones or will i need different lights would i need cooling for the 600w one and how many plants would i get under it the web site its on says the 600 w one cover 1 meter squared to 1.5 meters and the bulb is apparently red and blue spectrum of light should be able to start my grow soon :)

85 is good. is it coolable is what you want to look for. I see alot of people just buying the cheapest light and then trying to sell it on craigslist for half of what they payed. I spent 300 usd for a digital 600w hps with a cooled hood shipped. just some stoney thoughts.....
