found a light fixture

[middi]

Found a light fixture in my basement that was previously holding some 34w coolwhite long tubes. while I know that those are terrible for growing was wondering if anyone knew what kind of bulb I could replace them with another kind of bulb so i wouldnt have to veg with my 500w hps

I would go with 45w T8's and maybe a 150w CFL if you absolutely have to go that route. Honestly I would use the HPS lights for the whole grow and lower the lights as they grow and get a MH bulb for around $30 if you are able to use one on that fixture

Actually, coolwhite tubes are fine for veg or you can look for "daylight" tubes at 6500K

He wants to use the fixture he has, so its got to be 34w. You can't put a MH in a fluorescent fixture.

I meant he should use a MH bulb for his HPS system and use that for his veg.

Oh, I misunderstood. Never mind.

I could def do that Its a dual ballast, they just get so hot lol, wondering would the 34w cool tubes be cool if i used them just for veg in a seperate tent? hate to see the fixture go to waste
