    400w 600w 1000w 8x8 or 10x10 area

    Generally, i cover 5' x 5' with a 1000w hps for flowering. so, if money were not a problem, i would put 4 1000w bulbs on digital ballasts with Raptor (or similar) air cooled reflectors for flowering a 10' x 10' area. i like reflectors more than tubes because they spread the light more evenly. if...

    Ushio DE ballast compatibility

    You're gonna need a DE ballast. Gavita, Phantom, Nanolux, Solis Tek, and im sure many more make them now. You can buy DE ballasts that are compatible with standard MH and HPS bulbs but i dont believe u can plug DE bulb into just any digital ballast not designed for it.

    Hydrofarm Hood With Lumatek Ballast

    Hydrofarm just wants you to but their ballast. You wont have any problem other than possibly needing an adapter if the plug type is different.
