70 Watt Hps ?

[bigweedo]

Whats up everyone,
Just want to say hi, because I am new here. I have had a little experience with growing marijuana in the last couple years and I am finally getting prepared to grow some blueberryxwhitewidow indoors. My friend has 3 HPS lights that have 70 watt bulbs in them, and they are 120 volt. My question is, could I just buy a 250 watt bulb and switch it with the 70 watt bulb and run everything fine? This is probably a newb question, but it seems like it is possible as long as the 250 watt doesn't overload this ballast. PLEASE HELP!
Thanks,
Bigweedo

Sorry but it won't work. You need the same ballast as the light.
