my future i hope

2 bills? check ebay, got my 400w hps for like $150. I'm sure u could find a better deal too.

I got mine from craigslist
$50
its actually an old shop light so everything is stuck together but a MH none the less.

ill vouch on craigslist.. you can definitely find dirt cheap used stuff.

i have seen lots of kits on the net for under 200
lol i got this link from the hightimes website b/c it was the only place i directly remember seeing kits
HID Hut Digital Ballasts - Hydroponics | Grow Lights UFO LED | Hydroponics Supplies
bulbs are not that expensive. nor would a socket.. i say 250 and your set

speaking of craigslist, I just found a voodoo vaporizer for $1
its probably not $1 but still, if it is, I'm getting a vaporizer for $1!!!
