Light Bulbs?

If I had 2 plain lamps, would it be easily done by just replacing my current Fluorescent bulbs with the ones on this site?
100 Watt Metal Halide Clear Medium Base

OR this for flowering stage?
100 WATT High Pressure Sodium Medium

Thanks guys

I dont tink so. But I could be wronge. To my knowledge they need a special balast to work. Try google "100w hps sockets" or somethign along those lines to see if they will.

u need a balast to make it work but they sell them on that same site for cheap and they include mounting hardware

which place would u recommend?

hate to be a told you so but metal halide is for veging and hps is for flowering.

its not needed though you can do MH throught the grow or HPS you just get better results. You will still see good results from a MH the whole grow but better results from HPS in flowering and MH for veg.

is a mh halogen anygood or are they shit
i have a chance to get some 150w mh halogens (1-4Ofthem)
(currently 4*23w cfls=6100 lumans)
any input, im on my first grow, thx

halogens won't grow pot. stick with CFL or make the jump to mh or hps...

bt dt

cant use halogen but how many plants you got

halogen wont grow shit, they are wrong spectrum plus they give off mad heat, a small hps is the way to go but you need a ballast to run it, do not screw the bulb in to a regular socket even if it fits, look on this site and check out the $20 hps, you can get small units with the ballast included for really cheap, i know home depot has 70 watt hps for like $60 so if your tight on cash thats the way to go

Everyone always asks lighting questions. chances are if its cheap its not enough light. Holagen are actually perfect kelvin rating but are indeed the hottest things ever so useless. If your strapped for cash go t5ho. Most lumens and par per dollar. If you are just starting don't use metal halide or hps. youll burn them for sure. especially if your asking about hologen. t5ho your way to buds man good luck. I have pics of my t5h0 setup if anyone wants to see. blows out metal halide for sure.
