If you have a hydroponics store you might want to look into a 600Watt digital ballst and light get a
hortiluxed enhanced spectrum bulb and youve got the only light your gonna needand you could get a good ammount of plants. a 600 watt hps puts out more lumens tyhan a 1000watt hps and is more efficient.

the 1000w. has about 140,000 lumens and the 600 has about 90,000 lumens. i say if your only going to get one ballast get the 1000w, you can do much more with it, even though it has a loss of lumens. and you only need to spend the extra money on the digital ballast if you cant handle the buzzing sound. i was able to sleep next to one for 8 months, it's not too bad.

the difference is the spectrum of light that is given off. MH are a green-blue spectrum great for veg, HPS is in the red-orange part of the spectrum which is better for flowering...
