Haha yea that's what cats were doing with the 150w HPS you could get for cheap and convert them to a remote ballast grow light lol! Shit's cool though my first digital 400w setup with hood was $200 so you saved a quite a bit... As for the Kangaroots and Microbe Brew I'm digging em dude!! I'm gonna take some pics of my grow in a bit since they've been in veg for a week and now I have some roots kicking out the sides of my Eco Pots just as quick as Roots Excel in Smart Pots! Plus they look fatter this way and are nice and fuzzy! The Molasses is a good idea cuz that Microbe Brew shit even though it's got the same label damn near is said to feed the herd brought in by Kangaroots and it's working for me...
