what is a good price for this system used: Digital Greenhouse 400 watt digital ballast, Sun System 400 watt 1 mh and 1 hps light bulb and a HY Maxwing Reflector. Was only used for about 6 months.
I would advise against buying used. U never know what u r truely getting (condition, hrs of use, etc). And people typically want a lot for their used equipment. Look online, you can find cheap equipment with warenties. I bought 2 setups because they were so cheap (under $250 for both w/delivery!). I am using one, and keeping the other as a backup/spare.
Note the free shipping.
I got two great harvests off of these bulbs. l also replaced them before I went int my 3rd with higher end units to cut down on the initial cost.
The ballast works nice and quiet, no issues as of yet. I am on my 7th rotation as of right now.
Build your own ballast for cheap and buy a nice top of the line bulb, DIY cool tube... best bet for good results your first toss at under 200$. Upgrade your reflector after your first harvest, and finally your ballast after that.
