Hey guys so ive finaly decided to upgrade my setup from a 2x2 tent to a 4x4 tent kit, the kit includes tent, fan with filter and ductingand a choice of 250,400 and 600 watt hps magnetic ballst kits in a cooltube aswell as some of those yoyo hanger things.
I plan to buy the 600 watter for its huge potential.
My budget is unfortunately fixed and the kit is almost reaching the limit of that. But i still have a wee bit left. My problem is i just noticed that the fan that comes with the kit is abit weak for the 600 watt ballast. I dont know much about hps setups and whether or not i could use a weaker fan through a cooltube. I asked the guy if he wpuld consider upgrading either the ballast to a digital ballst so i can adjust its wattage or if i shoukd stick with the magnectic ballast and upgrade the fan instead.
Either way i can only afford for one of them to be upgraded so its either a better fan but then stuck with a non adjustable ballast(which means alot more heat) or i could keep the weak fan that comes with the kit and instead upgrade the ballast to an adjustable digital ballast.
Please keep in mind though that although im leaning towards the 600 watt for the lighting option im still needing to try keep power consumption as low as possible
So i spose what im asking is what would the better option to go for and why. Ill be moving from the cfl wolrd to hid finaly so i feel new again
