i hear ya left. heres the deal...i have a cabinet now with a 400 watt magnetic ballast, and a bake a round diy cool tube. i want to grow more. i need more room, thus the 4x4x76 grow tent. my brother told me he could sell my 400 watt ballast, light, and cooltube for 250 bucks. still waiting on kid to buy it. then he might also buy my squirell cage fan for 100. also tax time is here and i will be using some money from that to upgrade.
so i am window shopping so to speak right now. i am glad too, because usually i just buy the best thing i see withought much research. so thats the jist of my story. i could keep my cooltube, and hope the diameter of a 600 watt hortilux bulb is the same as the 400! but i dont know....also i could keep my fan too, but would like to get a new one, its an option. so really all i need to buy is a lumatek 600 and a hortilux bulb in reality. just was wanting a nice setup. i supose typing this i have convinced myself to keep my cool tube, and fan. but what do i do with my 400 watt magnetic ballast? and do i just blow the kid off who wants my setup?
i hope this clears up a few things for ya..loola
