Hey guys, long story short I've been using CFLs and was going to switch to LEDs, but I'm concerned about bleaching. Friend told me to think about using a 150w HPS and a cool tube and I could have the tops touching the tube and be fine. For space/stealth reasons getting a tent isn't an option. Anyway, I'm really just wondering:
A) Do brand name bulbs really matter that much and if so what are a few I should look at
B) I did a quick ebay search and found this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Apollo-Grow-Light-Hydroponic-Air-Cool-Tube-Reflector-for-MH-HPS-Light-System-/170771522120?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item27c2c6a248#ht_6715wt_1166, for a double 30gallon sterilite grow would one of these suffice for a 150w HPS? Is that an appropriate price?
C) What do I need to look at when looking for a ballast?
I don't mind reading any informative links at all if it will help. I'm kind of going into this blind lol. Thanks in advance![Big Joint :bigjoint: :bigjoint:](/styles/smilies/smoking.gif)
