No.....pretty much gave up, just gonna cave and buy an MH set up. Really fucking stupid to have to get an entirely new setup and try to wire that bitch into my tiny space, and then have 2 fixture/ballast set ups, but oh well.

you can use the 150HPS for veg and but a bigger one for flowering. I am actually going to do this. I was calculating and it makes more sense to go with a 150w hps although the color is not perfect than go with 150w CFL since it will be alot less lumens (something like 16000 vs 8400).

By having two lamps, you can veg and flower at the same time. Now if you can find a 150 MH, let me know. All I found was 150w HPS. for 80 bucks

Im working in a small space, like a 2x2 area to cover, if that, and I bought a 150w HPS for $20 and used it in my last grow during flower, and used just CFL's for veg. I am now 3 wks into my second grow, and am using the HPS as well as about 150 real watts of CFL bulbs. I was just hoping to find a way to put an MH in there just for veg, as it makes a hell of a difference in veg cycle.

damn wondering the same, never even knew there was such thing until i was looking on ebay, then i felt like a complete dumbass everyone was trying to sucker me into to buying a MH ballast and i wasnt having it, i love my 150w HPS and it has worked wonders for what i need, wouldnt trade it for anything.

if any of you found it cause that site is always sold out let me know, greatly appreciated.
