I'll look for one proper on eBay for you.

Here's the 450w that I have. This guy seems to have 99.9% positive feedback. If it doesn't look like mine, demand a refund and if he doesn't comply, contact eBay.

This one's $50 more, but I think shipping is free. The 450 also has a veg and a bloom switch.

They don't ship to south Africa either, its hard to find people who do

 

[Olive Drab Green]

I'll do some research for you, but these things are manufactured in China, so I dunno why this would be a problem.

Maybe you could have someone buy it in the UK for you and have it shipped from them to you? Still looking into lighting, though. Bottom line is, your lighting is going to be the most important part of your grow.

Ill post pics of growth as it comes along. will replant into seedling tray. hope they don't die. but am already in the process of germinating new seeds. just incase.

You can't put that in an ordinary socket; you need a ballast and you need someone who knows how to rig a dedicated electric line to your breaker. Not 100% on that, but pretty sure.

 

[Olive Drab Green]

I don't know the South African exchange rate. Would this be expensive?

I do need to work on the lighting... ill be shopping around. in the meantime im gonna have to make due with what I have until I can get it shipped here. but will keep up to date with the growth process after the replant into individual pots. or seedling tray. you have been amazingly helpful, I really appreciate it. I really want to get this right. Thank you

[Olive Drab Green]

Alright, let me keep looking.

Here's a MarsHydro new model. Some people shit on Mars, but I have seen extremely good grows from them. Check it out.

If you can afford it, get the 96. If not, the 48 will do well for your first plant.

also, do you have easy access to 4 foot flouro tube lighting? this is an easy and inexpensive way to add light and you can keep it very close to your plants. @RM3
