great thought...but it is not that easy. if you use that 70wt hps in a standard socket you will either burn the socket. or it wont light up all the way. some lowes do have an outdoor socket that is rated for 250 watts, it is by the garden lights and extension cords. with a little bit of experiance it can be made to work safely. you can use up to a 100 watt bulb in the 250watt outdoor socket. but hell for the 30$ they waNT FOR THE BULB AND THE 20$ IN PARTS YOU ARE GETTING CLOSE TO AFFORDING A LARGE GROW CFL OR FOR A FEW MORE BUCKS A USED 250-400 WATT HPS.
the yeag Reviewed by the yeag on . Hps? I took a trip to my local lowes today. I was wondering if I would have to get a ballest for a 70watt hps light. I have just been using cfl's to do my growing. I was going to grab a small hps light to get thicker buds but I don't have the money to get the ballest as well. I was thinking that being under the 100 watt max of my ballest that I can add 2 more lights too if I could us a 70 hps in there. much love and keep growing and :smokin: Rating: 5
