  2. I'm not 100% but that looks like a Metal Halide so it would be good for vegging but not flowering

    but do you know how old it is - bulbs only have a certain life so it might be worth investing in a new HPS or you might get bad results

    It`s may be 7-8 years old blubs but they are NOT used and they were packed good...so i`ll buy a HPS for the flow but i wanted to know what kind are these blubs couse i have over 10 of them from my grandpa and course are free :) so who is better these or flourescent for veg couse if the flour. is better than these i`ll buy them - no problem
     
  4. if they're MH then they are perfect for vegging - dont bother with CFL's if you already have those

    give them a go with some bagseed and see what happens

    yeah that`s i want to know are they MH or not and noOne exept you can`t tell me,but you aren`t 100% sure ...so i must know other important thing.. am i need a ballast for this and if the ballast is 400W can he work with HPS too or i must buy a special ballast for HPS
     
  6. Please anyone help me couse i don`t want to blow my all garden :(
     
  7. Im not 100% sure, BUT if I were you I would eat that pear b4 it gets too mushy. Nothing like a nice dry mushy pear to really fuck up snack time.:eek:
     
  8. dude - I think we'd all love to help but it's difficult to be sure what they are - they look really old for a start - there's no markings on them or a manufacturers name so I can't even look up what they are - did they come in a box - is there anything written on the boxes?

    does your grandpa know what they are - he bought them originally so he should know?
     
  9. first of all my grandpa is dead from 3 years ago i can`t ask him but in the blubs is writen - 500W-250V and 1000W - 250V they were in a box but just a pack nothing is written on the boxes only this in the blubs
