^LOL...good line. Yea, I'm having doubts about the Mercury Vapor use. You are really putting yourself in a challenging position if you try to use those. They are not the proper spectrum to grow MJ.



Also, stealing lights is not good. Go buy one...or trade out for one. Jacking stuff is not necessarily smiled upon here.

Think of it this way:

1. You steal a light fixture from a streetlamp or something.
2. Electric company finds out...and reports the theft to the police.
3. The police then do investigative research into the theft and monitor electricity usage in the area.
4. 5 growers in the area are busted because of your stealing a stupid light.

It's not worth it, man. Especially not to come and brag about it.


I'm not trying to get on your case, CS, just giving you a heads up. Karma, man, karma. Go return the light and buy a bunch of CFLs and/or an HPS.

Take care...

TheGreenFog Reviewed by TheGreenFog on . ****Ghetto Mercury Vapor**** Here's the ballast I stole from that light pole and i wired it all up like you guys said. Green to ground :) We bought a bulb and it F'n worked. EUREKA I love it lol. It's pretty damned bright but it looks like its more on the BLUE Spectrum to me so... I dunno. Does this Light have any growing value and can it be used for flowering? I guess what I mean is: Is this Mercury Vapor 175W ballast and bulb better for flowering and overall growing than 6 23W CFL's? P.S. I'll have the ballast mounted Rating: 5
