alot, def getting a hps next time around to make shit easier because there are so many wires and shit

I have
-4 27 watt
-5 42 watt
-1 140 watt (size of a football)

I had more but I took out 4 27 watt ones because it was getting too hot

it was a little over a zip, pretty weak if you ask me but I was still happy

I was at home depot today and they had bulbs that said metal halide and screwed in like a regular bulb? and also there was a 80 watt hps for 50$, I thought home depot didn't have this kinda stuff or is it not the right kind?

ya i was really surprised and didn't get it because I thought it wouldn't work, they also had a ton of daylight 6500k cfl's that went up to 200 watts and were huge and they were like 20 bucks

yeah it would...i have a couple 150w hps bulbs from the depot for 25 each...

you have to do some wireing and buy a ballast kit...it would be safer to buy one online..

how the fuck would it be safer ordering online compared to paying cash in the self check out aisle? what is the exact name of the hps you have? how do you wire it? thanks for the help man, I appreciate it

i mean safty wise like not burning down ur house lol...

i purchased a 150w hps mini floralux hood and ballast for 100 bucks on htgsupply..and no wireing is necasary just plug it in..

i also have the 20 dollar 150w hps bulbs u can buy from the depot and buy some ballast kit but i just think the extra 30-40 extra dollars is worth not worrying about my house burning down from the bulb bursting hot glass igniting the carpet...

lol just some 2 cents
