Old Reviews Suggestions on reflector purchase

[BamaGrow]

Alright, I haven't gardened indoors in over 10 years for many reasons but mainly because of kids. I am thinking about an indoor grow and need some suggestions on reflectors. With my job I have a good supply of ballasts and bulbs but I am having a hard time finding reflectors with just the socket. Everyone wants to sell the entire package, which I don't need. When I have found a reflector alone, it is the price of the ones packaged with ballasts. Give me some suggestions on reflectors based on my proposed setup.

An 4x8x6.5 grow tent which will house 2 - 400 watt MH for veg and 3 250 watt HPS for bloom, maybe 4 if they don't tighten up enough. I will remote mount the ballasts so the only heat will be the bulbs, do I need air cooled reflectors?

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

^^^^^ What he said

Nice, that has much more surface area than the one I was looking at on amazon and $20 cheaper. It is still only a few dollars cheaper than an entire setup with ballast. Regardless, it looks nice. Looks like a income tax refund purchase.

I just checked their other schwag and they have an awesome 8x4x7 tent. Thanks a ton.

no problem. if you call the place he will work with you on the price a little too. they also sell bundles with the ballast and bulbs n all.
