nothing beats a 600 or a 1k. long as u run a fresh bulb, you can maximize what you do.

i recommend you getting a magnetic ballast off craigslist. a name brander (preferably switchable for future fun)

run it, run a proven recipe. buy a ph pen, buy correct products, and keep it consistent.

i dont see you not failing. only way to fail imo is run cfl's, or run tiny lights.

its impossible to get ahead when u run small rigs. electricity n costs are far to expensive to run small rigs n yeild 0.

also messing up causes alotta unpleasant times. run a proven recipe n u cant fuck up.

thats my 2 cents lol. good luck brotha
