Best 400w HPS

[Kcar]

Hi there.
New to indoor hydro.
Starting out with a 3x3 ebb and flo in a 4x4 hydrohut
with a 400w hps and a 400w MH conv bulb.

I have a LU400 and am buying a Venture lighting conv bulb.

My question is this - what is the best HPS bulb for flowering?
Will a 430w bulb work in my ballest?

Thanks

I use the cheaper hps bulbs and they work just fine for me. I have a 400w too and I think you can only use the bulb that matches the ballast. I dont think you can use a 430w.
