Ok. I found a 400W HPS w/ a dimmable ballast. Could run it at 250 though veg then crank to 400 for flower.

And it’s the same price as my blurple. So I guess the question is could I keep the HPS cool enough for it to be more effective than the blurple?

Here’s the light I’m looking at. 600W with dimmable ballast and cool tube. Yield Lab 600W HPS+MH Air Cool Tube Reflector Digital Grow Light Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FICG7QQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_H7fUEb5PP9JVT

The one I’m looking has a dimmable ballast. Don’t have AC though. Can’t spring for it right now

Will my charcoal inline fan and two regular desk fans be enough to cool down the HPS?

What size is your tent? Are the plants getting good growth?

By cool tube do you mean it has the part where you run the charcoal fan through the light then duct it out of the tent? Getting an HPS with that feature you think would work? Better than the blurple?

Would this work to power all 4 boards? Judging by the website it would but wanted to check with y’all. Then I would just need a power supply and hangers yes? Mean Well HLG-240H-24A Switching LED Power Supply, Single Output, 24V, 0-10A, 240W, 1.5" H x 2.7" W x 9.6" L...

I could do it what? Lol

Giving a discount on either one of those? At those price points I would just spring for the HLG to be honest.

What size was your room/tent?

Apologize for all the back and forth. My seedlings are two weeks old today and I know it’s getting close to transplant time. I’d like to have everything in order before then. Really cussing myself for buying that damn blurple.

I’ve considered a Plan B: going with like a 600W dimmable HPS light. I’ve got two fans I want to run in the tent so I can just point one at the light to keep temps down. I’ve also heard HPS can fit a little better in my budget. What’s yalls thoughts? Any effect on plant health, yield, etc?

I think I’m between a rock and a hard place. With my budget it’s gonna be one of two things: Stay in budget and sacrifice on quality. Or stretch the budget and get quality.

Those look super easy! Gonna see if I can stretch the budget and snag one. All I hear is great things about HLG. I know the plants would thank me.

Very nice I’ll take a look. You’ve been a big source of knowledge for me thank you!

I’m sure it’s something I would be able to do if I sat down and watched but TreeFarmer is on the right path I do not know electricity at all. I don’t even know how to wire a light up to a house lol. This first run or two I think I’m looking for a pre built plug in ready to go solution. Only...

I don’t know the first thing about any of that lol. Like I said first grow here. Please tell me more!
