Heya,
Before finalizing purchase order, I would like to ask for your opinions and some piece of advice.
Planned box size would be 1.5x.1.5x2.0 meters, i hope thats enough for 10 NL/WW plants. So about 5 of each.
Lights:
HPS 600W + ballast : http://www.1000bulbs.com/600-Watt-HPS/
MH 400W + ballast: Here I have dilemma about these 'subgroups', MH light-bulbs "average lenght", "tubular envelope" or "position oriented", and question regarding light-bulbs providers, what are your experiences? (PlustRite, Phillips, Sylvania...). Ballast will most likely be Sola that runs around 50$

Before I continue I must mention that, both HPS and MH will run simultaneously, in vegetative period and in flowering. In addition to these, I'm also planning to use 4-6 CFL lights to spread some light under the middle/bottom leaves. Bulbs will be 23W+, 2700-3000k for flowering and perhaps 5000k+ for vegetation (most likely i won't be needing any for veg. growth but still, it's cheap so no big deal)
For reflection I'm gonna use cooltube on HPS and I'm not sure what to do with MH (advices are welcome)
Second option is to put both HPS and MH into ->>>> http://www.specialty-lights.com/adjust-a-wing-reflector.html

These 5 items should be enough if not it's easy to add more. I could use some suggestions where are best spots to install them. (intake, exhaust) But I've got some pretty decent idea but different opinions are always a good thing.
About measuring devices (PH meter, hydrometer...) I dont need to mention this is pretty easy choice.
All comments and criticism are more than welcome!
