I've got most of the supplies to start growing and I’m looking at lights and I came across this:

When I was looking for good lights on a budget, I'm only looking to grow a couple (1-3) plants at one time. What do you think of the socket adapter, or do you have any other ideas that would be good for a tight budget?

The socket you show will only work with a cfl.When running a MH or HPS you will need a ballast that will work with either mh or hps.The socket will fit the mh or hps bulbs, but it will not run the light without the ballast.
You can buy the socket for under $6.00,a ballast kit for around $60.00 and a old extension cord for free.OPH
