I do not know.

Hey does anyone know if you can use a MH buld in a HPS fixture,The outside "nightlight" type. The HPS fixture and bulb are 70W what do you think???

Those things you circled are splitters. If you are in the States go to Home Depot, Lowes, maybe Menards

You cant use a MH on a HPS ballast, at least thats what it says on HTG website. Maybe an expert can add why?

The things you have circled are "Y" Sockets and you can find them at Home Depot or Lowes.

Just putting together a stealth file cabnit and have a HPS light and fixture but want to use the cabnit for veg.only (keepin MaMa happy) dont wana buy another fixture

I don't know if a regular mh bulb works in an hps fixture but i know they make mh conversion bulbs for hps fixture...thats what i'm using and it seems 2 be working well. You don't needa buy another fixture or ballast, but I don't think a regular mh bulb will do it...not positive tho.

ok well right now i got 3 23 watt cfls and one 20 watt cfl on my started plant thats in a plastic cup this should be good for a lil bit right?

mrskitz · Mar 3, 2008

it should say on ya ballast if its good for both mh/hps bulbs,,,,

Green Dave · Mar 3, 2008

its in a outdoor nightlight the kind you see on a pole buy a garage

Mr.Untouchable · Mar 3, 2008

Looks like a spectrameter. Lol.

Saw a 65 Watt CFL Flood light at home depot it says it has the same as a 500watt
will this work for veg.????

DrWatson · Mar 3, 2008

check the light spectrum on that 65w flood light as its better to have whiter light spectrum for veg like an mh bulb...my guess is thats probably a 6500k spectrum light which wouldn't be optimal for veg...

I have a few of those Flood lights and yes they do work well. There is a guy on ebay that sells them for a pretty good price (like 4 for $100 shipped to your door)...search flourex. Check the auction to make sure but the ones I brought were 6500k. They work great for vegging!

Will switching flourecent to l.e.d. shock my girls....im moving into veg. state

Afro · Mar 3, 2008

Yes. I used a 400w MH in a 400w HPS fitting and the ballast works with both, I would check the specks on the fitting. Don't want to blow your self up.
happy growing.
Peace from Afro

HIDs work the best. But you can use CFLs. Check out the CFL sub forum under indoor growing. 6500k for veg and 2700k for flower. Better yet...Veg with the CFLs and finish with the HPS.

DrWatson · Mar 4, 2008

oops...I got my spectrums backwards... :-D

Green Dave · Mar 6, 2008

Is it the 6500K for veg? That is what bthe CFL said
