    CAn you put a 150 watt MH bulb in a 150 watt HPS socket?

    my ballast doesnt say if its interchangeable or have a switch from MH to HPS.. I bought mine used and called the manufacture gave them the model number and told me it was switchable.. so if there's a number you can call I suggest you do.. better safe than sorry.

    Light leaking.

    I see then am gonna have to split up the lights.. I dont want to use up more electricity (very expensive) so I might have to break the light usage into 2 parts.. 2# 250 Metal halides for vegging., and keep the 600 HPS & 4 by 5 grow tent for flowering.
