Mercury vapor?

AlteredBeast said:

I might have just realized something bad. This 150w mh outdoor fixture was given to me cause the photocell took a shit. I bypassed the photocell. So the guy that gave it to me said it was a 150w mh but after reading the stickers and the book it came with its actually a 175w mercury vapor!!!! Is this light gonna do me any good? I would be adding it to my flower room which has a 250w hps, two 10.0 uvb 20w tubes, and two 45w led panels. Is mercury vapor light any good for flowering or will I be wasting electricity?

You will be wasting electricity if you use that light.

Mercury vapor lights are not good for growing

Yep toss it or put it outside on top of the garage and light the driveway

to be perfectly honest you can grow and flower with that light.at 1 time i thought you could not but then i got some plants from a friend that was grow and had been flowering under a MV and they were doing quite well. its basiclythe same thig but less lum.
