It won't be good for vegging, but you can do that under flourescents.
Ask how many hours of burn time are on the bulb, how old the ballast is, if the hood is air-coolable, and whether it was originally a 'reconditioned' unit, but that is not a bad deal even for just the ballast and hood.
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . What to look for when buying a HPS light? Local person on craigslist is selling a 400w HPS bulb, ballast, and hood for $120. Says the condition is good and the light works great. What I want to know, what should I look for when buying a HPS light? Should I just go ahead and get it while I can? Will the bulb be good for vegging & flowering, becuz I thought I read somewhere else that you can get a different HPS bulb so its better for flowering or vegging(i 4get which one) Rating: 5
