well i see hps n mh lights at home depot.. i dont think they got a ballast tho just the lights, and im a cfl grower so idk about hooking up ballasts or anything.. but after looking at a pic of a hps bulb, couldnt u just get a socket adapter, and a bulb screw size converter, i see those pieces very cheap in walmart and home depot and it seems like it would work fine if you just got a socket adapter to plug it in and get the size converter

How close is that fan to it? I had a plant once do the samething cause I put a fan too close to it. It was like it wind burn the leaves. They looked just like that. All dried up and shit.
I got a little windburn on a couple of my smallest seedlings, you should definitely move it away or set your fan to low.... I like to put my fans a few feet back from the grow, bringin fresh, cool air into the area!!

I do all of my hydro shopping on ebay, and their goin for about 200$-250$ with digital, dual ballast. ( for mh as well as hps ) some of the more expensive ones come with both of the bulbs too!!

also, here' s my update!

they just broke ground so they're hard to see, but I want to post any significant event so here they are. I'm starting to believe that doming the seedlings actually helps, these girls broke ground quick!! I usually have to wait a couple days...

wow u got alot more going then me lol, but i got a small grow space, current setup has 6 26w cfls, 3 of them are 2700k and 3 are 6500k, with them raised the current grow space is close to a 1 sq ft area so the light is good for now, but im concerned it wont be enough when they get bigger and im not going to be able to setup a big grow for another year because mines maximum size for stealth requirements.. im afraid that when my plants are flowering and when they get taller the light wont be enough though, but ill see at the end of my grow and then make corrections before my 2nd one
