Question about 150 watt hps

[HydroManiac]

slo it does show CFL put out a better light but HPS put out more light for less wattage. my side cfls are helping my plant look alot healthier

since i keep my plants so small the hps does very good at gettin light to the lower parts of the plants. i do plan to start growin larger plant and im gonna use a few cfls around the center if needed. i think im gonna add a couple more of these 150 hps. i'd like to have 1 per sq ft, and at $20 each it should be easy to do.. i love these lights. cheap and effective.

i do have to find a good space heater for my buildin. this morning my temp was 43 F way to low.. so if anyone knows of a small space heater that is safe to leave unattended and don't pull tons of power let me know.. thanks

So what exactly did you use for your reflector?

1 piece of 1x1 and a piece of tin that i had layin around the shop. its tin used for makin gutters.
