metal halide bulb for vegging-great
metal halide bulb for flowering-good
high pressure sodium bulb for vegging-good
high pressure sodium bulb for flowering-great
dual spectrum bulb for vegging-best
dual spectrum bulb for flowering-best ......................................hope this helps

but if its an hps ballast it might only hold an hps bulb, and metal halide ballast only hold m/h bulbs if it were a hps/metal halide ballast you would be able to run both.

unless the ballast is made for both,dont switch types of bulbs,the wrong one may light & work for a while but.....

They also make a conversion bulb that will also work on a singul ballest.The way I see it,a mhl/hps bulb will work with a hps ballast,and a hps/mhl bulb will work on the mhl ballast.I could be wrong.Just look up mhl/hps conversion..Good Luck on your grow..Stay Happy,Healthy,and High..
