Conversion Bulbs?

I found one 1000 watt MH, and 2 100 watt HPS security lights (like the kind at gas stations) laying around my workshop, and was wondering if i could just use the 1000 mh for the entire grow. Im gonna be growing just a few mandala #1's (100% sativa i believe) with it. OR could I get an HPS bulb that converts for an MH ballast? Ive seen MH bulbs that work in HPS ballasts, but not the other way around. Any help is appreciated

A Conversion bulb offers you the opportunity to switch the bulb in your Halide or Sodium fixture without changing ballasts.

Many cannabis gardeners prefer Halide light for vegetative growth and a Sodium light during blooming but a separate fixture is normally required. A Conversion bulb is a convenient option when you only have room for a single fixture but want the advantage of both Sodium and Halide lighting.

Please note:

High intensity discharge conversion bulbs are system specific. Sodium conversion bulbs are designed to be used in metal halide or mercury vapour fixtures only. Halide conversion bulbs are designed to be used in high pressure sodium fixtures only.

so your saying that i CAN buy an hps bulb for my mh ballast? ive looked online and cant find one. what would happen if i did just used the mh bulb throughout? i mean would it be all that bad? it does put out a LOT of light? just curious....

this was the first link in a google search.....

you can use the MH all the way but the buds may not be as large (they will be dense though)

good luck
