keep a fire exstinguisher close by. not that i think you are at high risk for using a 430 in a 400 but it's better safe than sorry. you guys may think i'm just paranoid but if a fire does start you better be able to but it out yourself or your best hope is jail if not the hospital or dead! i was meticulus when wiring up my grows. everything i did is up to code. i would not be able to deal with the guilt if my children became homless or worse because my grow burned down the house! sorry if this post rambles on, i'm pretty stoned.

PowderPuff...how are you going to tell him to keep a close eye on something that might explode at like a bajillion degrees?

Sittin Stoney 420: I think you're dancing on burning coal right now by using it anyway. IMHO. Goodluck <3

Well shit..................im torn. Ive turned it off now because im scared, but i was so fucking exited. What i really need is someone who has actually done it to post and tell me if its cool. The thing is i tried it and left it on for a few hours and nothing happend. Wouldnt it have popped right away????? Well it would mean a WHOLE lot to me if someone with experience in this field would post.

Thanks so much for your answers so far

Well this is what i found on http://users.lycaeum.org/~npkaye/lightingfaq.html .......

"MH lamps are available in 175,200, 400 and 1000 watt sizes. HPS lamps come in 50, 75, 150, 400 and 1000 watt sizes. Son Agro comes in 430w only, but it works with a 400w HPS ballast. Each lamp requires its own ballast, which comes with the fixtures that are designed to use these lamps, and are also available separately."

So i think im fine....

lmao Da1KrayzieThug!

I know.. Sounds a bit dumb.. lol.. But you know what I meant lol!

Be careful, "keep a close eye on it" didn't mean he was supposed to get his eye like an inch away from it.. lmao.. Imagine how fast he would have gone blind!!
