430w Son Agro HPS Bulb In a 400w HPS Ballast. Anyone done it? PLEASE HELP......
im building a sealed 8.5x14x9' room and initally wanted to use 2x430W son agro bulbs in 430W ballasts and a 600W sunmaster on a mover in between them. i had read about the son agros in cervantes this bulb puts out 53K lumens when running at 430W and was called the most efficient bulb available today. it is also a conversion HPS bulb and very high in the blue spectrum making it ideal for both veg and flowering. NOW the hydro store dude tells me there IS NO such thing asa 430W ballast. ok ive read the advertising and although ALLUDED to there is no actual statement that the 430W ballast runs at 430W - so im at a LOSS. what really has me bugged about this is that in order to get the bulb to preform to its quoted 53K lumens dont you HAVE TO run 430W into it?? NOW (again) i hear about HORTILUX at 400W emitting 58K lumens AND IT TO is high enough in the blue end to be used for both veg and flowering- I NEED HELP see i dont know what everyonelse is paying for lights but these 3 alone will be like $1200+ USD. i cant be investing in 2 lighting setups to do this so conversion lamps are deffo the way to go for me.as im heading out soon to get these items anything you can lay on me would be greatly appreciated
