umm i guess its all your own preference if your temps are fine. I would go dimmable bc vegging plants will do fine on lower output (save a little electricity) and might get explosive in flower when they notice the up in power.

i give another vote for a digital.. i have a galaxy dimmable digital ballast that goes from 400 watts to 250, and simply love it.. i can run the 250 for veg and bring it up to 400 for flowering..
it's also very nice to be able to run both mh's and hps bulbs off of one ballast imo...

they even have some ballasts that you can run them at full power, ie 100%, then turn it down all the way to like 300 or so i think it is..

so pretty much if you gonna be using the same room veg/flower a dimmable would be nice but i'm pretty much gonna keep a continual grow going so since i wont really wanna change the light down cause some flowers will be in last couple weeks of flowering it be better to just use a normal ballast then maybe digital but dimmable dont matter i would think since that is what i'm gonna be doing
thanks
to me it kinda seems like a dumb question thanks for the input though

trying to get all the knowledge i can in before i fully start i have inside experience but not inside experience..
