Hey everyone i need a little bit of help. i've got a nice little fellow growin, (its a ak47 x with northern lights 5 xdiesel) anyhow i'm looking to bring it inside and flower it inside, i got my buddies 1000watt sunlight supply inc. ballast wit a 1000watt hps bulb at the moment. however this is going to be way more power than i need, is it possible to use either a 250 or 400 watt HPS instead of thousand, are ballasts backwards compatible like that?

Hello Mr. Sid

If your plant was grown (vegged) outside and you are going to flower inside, you are definitley going to want at least 1000 watts of top lighting and SIDE lighting would significantly increase your yield.....

how big is the plant?

cheers

hmmm.... 14 inches.... if you flower now I guess you could get away with a 400watt bulb...

how many clones do you have,,, maybe you will want a 1000 watt HPS to flower 50 rooted clones :)

no. HPS ballasts are not backward compatible with their wattage.

NO,,if it just a 400w mh ballist it will only do 400w mh and 250w mh bulbs,
if you have a dul or swich over ballist you can use both mh and hps bulbs,,:peace:
