help i have an 8 x 8 room setup all plastic up ventilation run tables and reservoirs in and running. now what light to get. i seen the 1000 watt double end hps lights and i really like them, they are expensive but nice. i also have looked into the dual arc hps bulbs 1000 watt, these are a hps and metal halide all in one bulb. there is too much info on led lights, and i dont realyu trust them yet from what i have read. i have never tried the led lights but they look cool. any help would be a big help. i have this 8 x 8 room setup to be flowering room, i have a tent setup for mothers and veg room. i just want a good light that will grow monster plants or give them all the light they need. thanks in advance for the help.

Hi jynxva, here is a link to what looks like a well done comparison of 8 different bulb using PAR measurements.

I'd look into the Gravita 1000 watt lights. They are more efficient, run ever so slightly cooler (and are more expensive) than regular lights. Plus they are dimmable!

They give you at least 10% more yield and the lamps last longer. So while they are more expensive to buy out right, they will pay themselves back and more in time.

I run a double ended ac/de sun systems hood. You can check my grow log if ya like. I love my doubled ended setup

I will soon be running two Gavita 1000watt lights with my Solar Storm 400 in an 8 x 9 room. The Gavitas will give me my desired yield and the Solar Storm helps with the quality.
