400w HPS from Home Depot?

[drcheat]

Has anyone used them? They have 400w HPS bulbs, but I did not see that they had a ballast in stock... Those bulbs are rather inexpensive. I'm not sure what kind of light spectrum they have, but I bet they can at least be used for Veg?

I use them religiously. They work fine for veg or flower and i would suggest replacing them every 6 months opposed to 1 year...just because they are on the cheaper side and dont last as long. Remember u get what u pay for.

Hope this helps ya

Nope. Home Depot does not sell the ballast only the bulbs..well atleast where I'm at. I heard lots of people say HPS lamps are great for veg all the way through flower cycle. Never have never veged with one though.

Do they have the ballast for it at Lowes?

Where did all of you get your ballasts?

homie ballasts are a whole differnt story these are just replacement bulbs you have to have a lamp and a ballast go to a local hydro shop or look around online.

Online is cheapest but if you need it asap look at a local electrical or hardware store or hydro shops have them for sure, lowes & home depot and those places dont carry the ballast because that size is industrial size, or so they told me...
