ok i know that this is gonna sound like a ridiculous question..
but can you just buy an hps 100watt bulb and screw it right into a socket (closet fixture or any light fixture) or do you have to buy the whole setup?:wtf:
feedback needed! :jointsmile:

:(:(
so my question is can i buy this ballast somewhere like homedepot or do i have to wait another week after placing my order online to recieve it in the mail??
so here are a couple pics of my girl and you can see where my step dad picked the forbidden fruit!:mad:
if your going for a 100 watt, then i suggest getting yourself a security light setup. these have the balast in the fitting. but 100watts i think CFL's would be better
damn well i mean its just to help the plant finish flowering. .
like i said im not gonna be growing indoors this was just a last second emergency deal:cool:
-but i found this one.. HPS Ballast 100 Watts, NPF, 120V
so they usually run 70 buckaroos?:wtf:
for about $120 you can get a 400 watt hps ballast, reflector, and bulb :thumbsup:
where dai?
:D
I can't post links in here but just do a google search for htgsupply
:thumbsup:
thanks your the best
