Okay going to upgrade my lighting and ventilation but one at a time. I really think better equipment will be worth it long end right?


I have a 3.5x3.5x7 grow tent.

I want to go up to a 600 watt light system. I cannot make my mind up on a ballast. More so what ever deal I can find on ebay might be the one but yet I start off looking at Galaxy Digital Logic 600/400 LCD ballast and I like it but for like 150 - 175 pricy....

I was looking at Apollo ballast, lumatek, quantum until I read about the RF interference with digital ballast..

I read Galaxy and Lumatek have built in shielding plus very little RF coming from them to alert Comcast.

I read Apollo ballasts are okay now but still not sure what to go with any suggestions?

I was thinking of going with a 600watt HPS/MH magnetic ballast instead of digital until I saw the Galaxy digital ballast ;o)

any feed back on the ballast problem would be awesome...

As for reflector....

I was thinking about going with the Apollo catc grow kit 600watt but then started reading on reflectors and I really like Radiant 6" Air Cooled Hood.

Was going to go with the block buster 6". I think the radiant will be good for the 3.5 x3.5 x 7' grow tent I have.

If you guys think the Apollo grow light kit is not worth it compared to a Radiant 6" air cooled hood and a decent ballast whether digital or Magnetic is far more better then I will by them seperatly.

Thanks
