ive read that using hps to veg will cause "lanky" growth...

Hey pufindo, I've grown great crops with only HPS. No lankyness at all. (Is that a word?)

hey if your buying it in pieces or your worried about hps get both bulbs the digital switchable ballast and an air cooled reflector and both bulbs http://cgi.ebay.com/400w-MH-HPS-Dig...1207949QQihZ014QQcategoryZ42225QQcmdZViewItem

Yea a 400 watt HPS bulb will fit in that socket. The internals of the sockets for teh same a lot of the times its the outer dimensions that are different to fit into different air cooled hoods and what no. Do you have a picture of your reflector?
