Newbie with around 750 dollar lighting budget


Recommended Posts

I go by the KISS philosophy -  Keep it simple stupid, be safe and get a basic 400w/600w HPS cooltube system nothing too fancy, just the basics so you don't over complicate things.

 

These are just some examples from my local hydro store.

Digital Ballast - http://www.growroom.com.au/shop/lighting/light-kits/600watt-lumatek-aircool-kit/

 

get a good can fan + filter and your good to go

I agree with the guys... hps with a digital ballast is the best/cheapest setup for a novice grower... cant stress digital ballast enough though. The older style magnectic ballasts literally eat power [emoji23][emoji23]

nanolux are a great brand, cheap reliable and come with a 3 yr warrnty. A 600w you could get away with an open reflector, but if you went with a 1000w id get an xl cool hood and fans for it to.
