HELP=found cheap HPS system-help

That is all you need is a bulb just like it says. You can find better deals on craigslist or ebay at the right timing of things.

yea thats all u need + a bulb as far as your lighting goes. i looked into these a lil while ago and one thing you need to be careful of is heat buildup as the ballast and bulb are both contained in the hood and both put off a good amount of heat. there also isnt any duct fittings to attach your air outake system so you need to figure a way to keep lots of fresh air comin in and out

hope that helps

I own a Sun System all-in-one 400 watt MH purchased from Planet Natural. I am very happy with it. One thing you should be aware of is that as an all-in-one unit, it is quite heavy.

Much heavier than the 400 watt HPS light and hood set up with a separate ballast, which I also own.

Personally, I like the fact that everything is in one unit.

It's not a bad price and the bulb sold separately is $23.95. I say go for it.

Good luck and good growing.

how would i go about getting fresh air into the build in ballast?

an exhaust fan...there should be a piece that u can screw off on top of the hood...then u just get some ducting and a fan...boom fresh air

The unit is compartmentalized with vents for the ballast. Simply ensure your grow space has adequate ventilation.

i have a 400 watt all in one system like it caled pulsar 2-way mini. its great. switches from MH to HPS and doesnt run too hot. i'd recommend
