hello fellow 420ers im finally biting the bullet and buying some lights to start growing indoors. reason being this week 70% of my plants were stolen and it was such a killer putting that much effort into something everyday since april for it to just be poof gone. huge killer is my lowryder was 2 days away from harvest f'in sucks. hopefully the lowryder can still have some good come outta her and help me win a plant of the month and get the eespect ahe deserves lol. well anyways this weekend im going too be near an HTG grow store so I plan to buy my first set of lights. I dont know which would be better for my close which is roughly 6-7ft long 3-4 ft wide and 8-9ft tall. I have a very small budget but found a set of 4 T5lights with an electronic ballast in my range but also found a 150W hps in my range that comes with an electronic ballast as well. going to post the link to both lights so everyone can see them and read all their info and hopefully help me make the best decision. I acually have a bunch of seeds atm and they are basically all autos besides my 1 "the purps" seed from bc bud depot. my autos are
a bunch of super silver haze, 1 sensi seed AK, 1 spanish purple, 1 spanish blueberry, and 1 dinafem critical. So now you know that strains I plan to grow the space im working with and the 2 lights i cant decide between. If any more info is needed just ask and i can tell ya. I want the best bang for my buck and also want the easiest light aince its my first indoor grow i dont want to have to switch bulbs feom veg to flower if possible (T5 is a 4 set and comes with 2 veg lights and 2 flower lights) so let me know what you guys think id like to be able to fill the closet so if you think I can grow more plants with one of the lights than the other let me know. happy growing everyone....

has great answers, I agree w his post 
my 2 cents, choice of light I would recommend depends on your budget for purchase & what you can afford on your electric bill. a 400 HPS/HID will run about 100 a month or more, LED a bit less, CFL half the cost or less, the higher your electric bill, the more you will yield, it's all relative to your budget & your goal. share that info & we'll go from there, the 150 HPS is good for 3 feet x 2 feet max. post pics and budget answers, thanks, glad to help
oh last thing my closet is white on the inside but kinda old so has a little yellow tint would i be better off leaving it as is or tinfoiling the walls? i heard tinfoil can leave hot spots but wasnt sure. Thanks to all who have helped me so much with my growing dont know what id do w/o 420mag!!
