I just bought a 150 watt high pressure sodium bulb and now i need a ballast in order to get the light to fire up. Where can i find one for cheap? The ANSI Code is S55
 
I would pony up a few bucks for a new ballast with a warranty, it will last longer and be a lot safer. Check HTG supply.
 
i dunno if i have enough time for that, i was thinking about going back to lowes tonight and getting the 75w hps fixture that already comes with a bulb. Do you think i can pull it off with a 75 w hps???
 
its a different kind of light not like the grow lights you can buy,
lacking in the blue color temperature not bad but not the best
 
no imean the lowes and homee depot brands
if i were you i would get a 250 watter of htgardensupply.com
better in the long run
 
then save up and wait till you have enough,
i know as soon as you buy that shmeasly 150 watter your gonna regret it
 
I think i need a different light though, at the moment im running that 300 watt ps25 bulb. i think it would probably be better if i get atleast a 75 watter to run until i can get a better one.
 
Hey can someone tell me if i can use just one 75w hps bulb with a florescent light or two to go with it, for just one plant? I dont think im gunna start anymore until i finish the first one. So i was wondering if it would work well with Two decent sized florescent lights and one 75w hps bulb? I meen its only for one plant, so do you think i will get a pretty good yeald just using that?
