Somebody had posted a link to Growace, and with my limited experience they seemed like a good place to buy from. It was my birthday this weekend so I thought what the hell, I'm gonna buy me some lights.
My first choice was this: http://growace.com/product_info/600w-hps-hml-umbrella-reflector-digital-ballast-grow-light-kit.html
It's not the lowest W they sell and it's not the highest, so the medium amount of Ws sounded good for the money. Can take both types of bulbs, so I don't have to choose if I want to grow or flower, it can do both. Problem 1, they're out of stock. Whatever, I don't know what the exchange rate is on Ws per pepper, I'll just go down to 400W. Pick out the equivalent 400W and try to order it. The damn page refuses to take my money. I assume it's something to do with me being Canadian, as their "shipping rate" field was blank despite saying I'd have to take Fedex Ground. Their support hasn't gotten back to me in 2 days, so I'm gonna look elsewhere.
Can anybody more familiar with the tech and the vendors suggest something like the above for a comparable price that ships to Canada? Bonus points if you can explain to me why I'm a pepper newb for choosing the above, and improve upon the recommendation.
More growability is better, but for my immediate concerns I have 2 Butch Ts and a pumpkin hab that I'd like to get under a light for overwintering / producing. They're already inside as it already snowed here once.
Any advice is appreciated, thanks.
