HPS ballast should be here in about a week but im going to go ahead and buy a new bulb. The person im gettiing it from has an MH bulb, but the ballast says 1000 wt HPS, Not sure whats going on there?

I have seen tons of bulbs out there, higher priced ones, 600hps/400mh, "super" hps, w/ max flower...and so forth... what's really the best bang for the buck?

Im thinkin about going with the 1000wt hps600/mh400 bulb... Just sound's to me im going to get more spectrum for my farm , but looking for any and all suggestions

Also, my reflector dose not have a glass shield but its formed for one, should i get the glass to go in it. dose it have a factor. ie help the plants from being burnt:leaf:

it depends on your ballast, if you get a 1000watt ballast u need a 1000 watt bulb, the MH your guy has probably has an MH conversion bulb that will fit into a 1000w HPS ballast, good for veg but you can take a plant from veg to finish with the HPS
