I dont know a lot about growing but I read that HPS can be used for both veg and flowering so when I setup my grow I am going with a couple HPS lights

MH is best for veg.  Though hps will work it's more suitable for the flowering stages of growth.

That's what I thought, since its going to be my first time growing I am going to start with just HPS until I get a better idea of how I want to do everything. I dont want to invest a lot into my initial setup

yea.  U can even supplement the hps with some cfl's in the proper spectrum during veg if ya wish.  either way it's the hps that's make the fat buds.

I would recommend getting a switchable ballast, that can run both MH and HPS bulbs

They pwn

nope, check out Lumatek Electronic Ballast Systems, or NextGen

Xtreme Switchable Systems are probably the best garden lights available, and not too pricy either

Thanks and while we have you here, do you know of a good brand of soil tester? Would recommend digital over the pH strips?

Yes, I would go with digital, but that's just my personal preference.

If you have some cash to blow on some soil, definitely pick up FoxFarm Ocean Forest Potting Soil, or any of the Roots Organics soils.

Thats the way to go MH veg and HPS to flowering. The only way to go.
