You can't replace your HID?
Thanks for your reply...Plants are about 4-4.5 feet high.

I picked up two 300W CF bulbs and rigged them as a temporary solution...going to order a replacement HPS setup online. What is the max a setup like this could maintain the plants until the unit arrives?
hasnfe4 Reviewed by hasnfe4 on . Help!! My ballast box on my 400w HPS blew up today, and I need a quick fix. My plants are currently in flowering (six ladies) and I just started the 12/12 cycle. I now have a measly 100w fluorescent bulb shining on them, but I need something I can get at a neighborhood Lowe's, hardware store or Home Depot. Any suggestions to help my plants reach the finish line? Rating: 5
