OK... completely new to all this growing stuff! Just finished reading Jorges' new book... excellent.
Now I have a question. I am seeing a few 400W MH High Bay Barn lights (ballast, bulb, and crappy reflector) for sale at the moment, cheap. Cheap as in <$40 per unit. These are second hand but have not been abused.
I know that I should try and get new asap but, these fit budget.
Are they any use?
My plan.
1 - I have a few CFL 65W/500W floods and am planning on using these for germination, rooting, cloning, etc.
2 - Veg. A couple of 400W MH with CFL flood sidelights
3 - Bloom. Slap a HPS conversion bulb (400W) in the fixtures and run 2 of these + 2 MH and CFL sidelights.
This is gonna be for a 9 plant setup in the veg and in the bloom rooms. set out in a square. Ebb and Flow hydration.
any thoughts???
