hello all i am new here but been lurking for months...mainly on how to grow. lol so i have a big tent that fits about 6 plants and it's 8 ft tall however, i only have a few questions before i commence my first grow ever... i got a xtrasun 8" link : Xtrasun: Xtrasun 8" Air Cooled Reflector ballast is sun system 1 HPS 100 watt link : Amazon.com: Sun System 1 HPS 1000 Watt Ballast Magnetic: Patio, Lawn & Garden ok so...my question and what i need help on is this...the ballast first off doesn't fit directly to xtrasun 8" but i see there are adapter so i should be ok? second... the ballast says HPS and also on the sticker....but the xtrasun 8" accepts HPS and MH bulbs.. i have both HPS and MH bulb...would i be able to use the metal halide for veg even though the ballast i have says HPS?! also...if you looked at the link of my ballast..it doesn't have any on/off button so...to make up for this...i shall use a timer to turn her off and on./..recommend a brand please and thank you and the only thing i couldn't find research on was...what product to use for pesticides? i know all indoor grow gets those mites...because my friends plants always had them no matter the precautions...however he would use some type of organic spray once a week on the plant.. what can i do to get rid of bugs once my plants get them? i lost contact with my friend so i'm not sure what the bug spray was called Thank you all and please give me some advice!
