...hope so.I think he meant HID.
check your ballast if it can ignite mh. if yes , buy a mh bulb to use it in vegetative growth. the best and the simplest way.I bought my first HPS system and the balast came with a lamp that says Flower Spectre HPS 250W (from GIB lighting).
Is the lamp for the flowering stage of my plants only? Do I have to buy also a lamp for the veg stage?
Thanks
...or better yet, get a digital ballest. They will operate a MH & HPS.check your ballast if it can ignite mh. if yes , buy a mh bulb to use it in vegetative growth. the best and the simplest way.
i use fluorescent (6000k) for veg and hps (2000k) for flowering
Did you notice that light is designed for vertical applications only? That makes it a poor choice for most of us that use hoods.Or better than that, stay with your magnetic ballast and run a 250w Philips Ceramic Metal Halide for the entire grow.

That will be news for an awful lot of growers.Hps light's are the only lighting sytem's that are any good for indoor cultivation,........
trichlone has just bought a ballast so will want to use what he has got....or better yet, get a digital ballest. They will operate a MH & HPS.
