is this right?

[jeffca]

so my understanding is i need a lamp that can sustain a 400 watt bulb of HID bulb, mh bulb or hps bulb. is this right?

thank you!

p.s. i'm not growing hydroponics and just growing in regular dirt and added soil nutrients

also i looked at lowe's and orchard supply they don't have the right kind of lights, is there a place that i can go to get these kinds of lights?

Buy your light as a complete kit like this HPS(ballast,shade,globe)

you don't have to start a new thread for every question. you can buy an hps light at any electrical supply store. be ready to spend well over a $100. you can order on from insidesun.com they cost $100. or if your budget is tight then just buy alot of compact florecense (Cfls). depending on how big your grow space is..

home depot only carries the balast for up to a 125watt i think maybe only 75 watt hps. it depends on the store i think. im sure lowes is about the same. hope this helps
