I was wondering if I could use these bulbs for growing?

If I can would I be able to use them in a hps fitting with a 600w ballast?

Thanks.

yes, ur best bet is to get a 400w Digital ballast, Then grab u a 400w MH and a 400w HPS, then u are set to go man, also wanna look into a reflector, alot of people go with cooltubes because of the heat that lite puts off. Good growin bro

I'm using fluorescents tubes at the moment, they need to go into flowering so I was looking to use some better lights. I have a 600w hps light kit already. I'm going take some cuttings and keep two mother plants and the rest can be flowered.

If not already obvious, you want a 600W bulb, as opposed to a 400W, as you posted.

I just thought the 400w might be cheaper to run.

400w would be cheaper to run than 600w but ud need a 400w ballast to go with it
