ok so a normal house hold cfl plugs into a 110w light socket. a hm or a hps bulb plugs into a socket but its not the same as a 110 socket its a socket that is made for a hm or a hps. the socket is connected to a ballast because the hm or hps socket needs a regulator "the ballast" then the regulator gets plugged into the 110 outlet. make sense????

Maybe if you didn't start out your thread sounding like a thief, more people would be willing to help you. I'm not saying you did or didn't, but if shit is in fact stolen, shame on you... maybe try it out when you are responsible enough to pay for your equipment. If not, I apologize and a ballast is responsible for turning 120v into like a thousand volts that are needed to make the light work. You have to have a ballast to make all hid lights work. bulbs have to match the ballast in order for the chemical reaction inside the arc tube to work. I.E., 250w bulb with a 250w ballast.. high pressure sodium bulbs will not normally work in a metal halide ballast. You have to have conversion bulbs to do that.

Jeeze man if you want to grow pot you need to do some research. This guy isn't your mother, find some shit out on your own. The internet is a powerful thing. You don't purchase your items and you make others do the research for you??? Are you going to want someone on this website to water your plants and transplant them too? lol

Nl i do not condone what you did. We look down on thief's here. Yes we are here to help. but to jump on people cause they don't want to help, cause of a statement YOU made is, extremely ignorant and immature. Not saying you stole them. but SAY WHAT YOU MEAN, and MEAN WHAT YOU SAY.
By the way you MUST be 18 or older to be here. I suggest you speak with a bit more intelligence, or you will be viewed here as a minor.

If you would have purchased your materials for your grow instead of stealing them you wouldn't be having so many problems. How about instead of going out robbing places you sit on here and read the GrowFAQ. It would help to answer your questions instead of you sounding like a 12 year old noob

Your plants will hermie if you grow with stolen gear. Take back those bulbs and say your sorry to whoever you stoled them from.
