Well technically the answer is: NO, like wyteberrywidow said, however there are digital/electronic ballasts that are specifically designed to fire CMH bulbs. This is the best site Ive found for CMH bulbs: (---->CLICK HERE<----) They are the Philips MasterColor CMH HPS-Retro White which are supposedly the best on the market for growing and there the only company that Pre-Burns there lamps...

A note on CMHs from AdvancedTechLighting: No offense but FUCK advancedtechlighting + their owner. I ordered fine back in december (got my bulb in 3 days), but recently, well not so recently anymore, needed a replacement bulb and figured why not get another one. That was over two months ago. Dude's been dodging me giving me BS excuses vai emails ("your order was sent out. I pride myself on helping the consumer..." yada yada yada, followed by "I left some other people in charge of operations and there seems to have been a mix up", then "I'm waiting on fedex to update their shipping status", a month later: "Turns out your label was good but I used the wrong printer"... that was the last update I got and that was over a week ago.) Instead of just getting my bulb out to me, he's just keeps mentioning how he's gonna have a sale for everyone with fucked up orders where they can buy 2 more CMHs for the price of one. I told him "At this point, I'm not interested in spending any more money at advancedtechlighting. I would just like to get my bulbs".

So for all you 400watters that might be looking into a CMH, I'd advise you to go with lightingsupply.com over Simba/Ordon's advancedtechlighing. In case it isn't obvious, I now fully regret not going with lightingsupply (which is a legit company) and instead going with the apparently one man team that is advancedtechlighting.

With that rant over, I'd like to say I can't wait to officially join this club once harvest time comes around (on day 8 of flowering Vortex right now).

Anybody have any pics of 10 or more plants auto or regular being grown with a 400w? I currently have a 6x4x5 setup with a 400w digital ballast hps and a gigantic 3x2 reflector and want to know if using 3 gallon pots and fitting 12-14 in this space will be worth the time or just a waste of money on a few extra seeds an see no extra yeild....I know they will fit and grow but im saying efficiently. I have seen alot of 7-9 plant setups that do fantastic with hps....my normal is 8 and it turns out great and makes me have no doubt it would work but i would like to ask a opinion of you all. Thanks and believe many of pics of beauty will be up if it all works out haha

This, Im having the same problem with this company. Steer clear. I used paypal so I have an avenue to get my money back, but Id rather just get the light! Its going on week 5 now with a poorly written email explaining some problem he's having, then when I called and left a message I get a text saying they'll call me back, that was last week and still no call or package.

I am growing under a 400w MH/HPS, and I add about 200w of CFL's for supplemental lighting during flowering. My last grow I grew a Barney's Pineapple Chunk and GHS Super Lemon Haze, and they turned out great. I'm growing a Barney's Blue Cheese, Reserva Privada OG#18, and Serious Ak-47. I just flipped to 12/12 the other day, so it won't be long before I get to start to see some buds. can't wait. Anyways here are a few pics of the Pineapple Chunk and the Super Lemon Haze: 1st 3 Pics are PC's; 2nd 2 Pics are SLH

Oh my, you are such a chop UB. You actually just go around posting the same thing on threads to get a rise, you can't even be original either. You really need to step up your game, I thought you were more intelligent than that.
