HTG SUPPLY??? is it safe

i found a 250w hps system on htgsupply.com and i was wondering if anyone has used them before and if they were safe to order from please let me know as i want to order tonight

yes, i got mine off ebay and it has been running 12/12 for quite some time now...no troubles thus far

only difference is that mine is a 400 watt light, but that shouldn't affect the integrity of a company whatsoever!

htg is the best and cheapest

alright thanks guys for sure and im gunna be flowering in a 3x3 area this light well work great for that correct?? 6 plants?

and also it gives these dimensions for the reflector Reflector Measures Approx: 16"Long x 13"Wide x 6"Deep 6" deep would be from top to bottom when its hanging from the ceiling right?? meaning it only takes up 6" of growing space????

Yes HTG supply is a safe place to order from. i recently ordered a 4" carbon filter odor control scrubber from them. there shipping is really fast.

They are good for the price. I have the 400 watt system which I started out with and it served me well.

I would get the highest wattage that you can afford. Even though 250 watts is good for a 3x3 area, 400 watts will be better. And higher wattage than that is even better.

htg-the best customer service on the planet, they have sent me 6 replacement ballast over the years and always included free extras for my trouble. free sweet, ff nutes , an overdrive , bulbs, etc.

250 is a bit small for 6 plants unless the plants are smaller like a sog grow.id only do like 8-9 inch plants if i did 6 under 250 watts

they sent me an extra bulb for my T5 last week knowing I broke one and they both needed to be replaced. Gr8 company.

250 for six plants as mcpurple said is stretching it. 250 for 4 would be the max if you limit height and just keep them on the shorter side.

HTG are assholes and don't stand behind their product. I bought a bad ballast from them over the internet. When I took it back to the store not only did they refuse to replace it but they were all around rude. I would avoid HTG like the plauge, and if you do use them pray there are no defects in your equipment, because they will not stand behind it.

Bought my lights from an industrial lighting supplier - cheaper than any ripoff grow shop.

HTG is amazing...I am lucky enough to live near a location and the staff is very helpful..there prices especially on lights are less than half the price of its competitors..Its the only place to shop..Ive heard you can nutes for cheaper elswhere but light prices cant be beat...I have the HTG Tek Two High Output T5 setup and it works amazing...store i had looked at before the light had less than half the lumens on the HTG one and was double the price

@Spanishfly I would love to know where and how much u payed because HTG is not a ripoff

An online UK industrial supplier. Cheapest I could find. Ballast and 400W MH was 60 UKP.

Nice ya it was easier for me to use HTG cause i had read alot about them on here and had a local one an hour away from me...People were helpful and I was happy with price and service..gotta start a journal..kinda slackin...month from seed right now and looking amazing from T5

Got my 400 hps in 3 days ...bulb was broke sent them email and got new bulb a few days latter.great customer service.and they ship in plain brown boxes..

I had 12 of their 1000 watt ballasts shit the bed during a 6 month period. They replaced the first 4 with new - the second 4 with used, that did not last 1 month, and then stopped taking my calls. All of these ballasts were their "special brand". Not 1 ballast lasted more than 6 months. All were replaced at a local shop with Sun Systems. I have had problems with 2 over the last 2 years. The local shop gives me a loaner ( one time opening a new boxed ballast and made it a loaner) until they could repair mine. I did not lose even 1 day. Moral of the story - you may spend a little more locally, but when shit happens (and it always does) being able to drive to a shop and get a replacement sure beats a phone call - answered or not.
