Hi people, I have been looking at every piece of information possible in starting my new grow system. I have decided on the Stealth Hydroponics system and still have not decided on my light. I was looking at either 400watt HPS or two 90 watt UFO LED's. I will not have much space for ventilation so that is why LED's came to mind. Im looking to grow about 5-6 plants. Please anyone with info, ideas, or knows where I should buy my lights let me know!!!

get a 400hps. I also had 2 90watt ufos in my room and they didnt seem to do anything. I dont think LEDS can ever match up to HIDs

people will tell you the UFO's suck. In LED you get what you pay for, so if you really want it you will probably need to spend minimum 4-500 for a nice unit.

Now you could go t5 HO if you dont have the room for venting additional CFL for flower.

I was thinking one 90w UFO over top and having CFL's all around sides like 3-4 one per side. I am not looking for huge huge yields but just good quality and trying to keep everything very simple and straightforward.

I am no longer going to use LED lights at all. Did more research and just not worth it and pretty much garbage unless using just for veg. I will be using either 400w or 600w HPS not sure what to use...I will have 4-6 clones. So any suggestions? Brands? Places to buy?

I would go with the 400 if your only want 5-6 plants and don't care about yeilds. And they're all over the internet, but they are expensize, both to buy and run. I reccomend this http://www.stealthhydroponics.com/product.php?xProd=120&xSec=3 for ya if your not growing to get a bunch of bud. It would be much cheaper to operate, cooler than a hps and have just as good if not better results because it has all the spectrums you need.

why would i spend $200 on that basically 3 bulb CFL when I can get a average 400 watt hps for about same price.

get a good digital ballast and a cool tube and run air circulation in the same room, then just use central air and cool the room if needed.
