Ok so I got an area about 6 feet wide and two feet deep and want to put about 6 plants in and need to buy HPS light.
Should I buy 2 500 watt ballasts and , so the light covers all the plants.
Instead of 1 1000 ballast.
Or what would ensure coverage?
Also I could save AC if i only had 3 plants.
So I would need a ballast , + bulb + reflectors?
Does the bulb wattage need to be the same as the ballast output?
I choose cost saving when I buy equipment but still need all the tips so I buy the right stuff and get primo results.
120 or dual 120. 240.. What Brand. Can I make my own reflector (out of what?).
Tips please, my store has a 500 wat ballast for about $250. But the Quality may be low as they dont mention the details.
