Though i would just throw this out there before doing some research, so any feed back would greatly welcome. Can car head light bulbs be used f or a small grow 1-4 plants ?
I have always thought that hid lights would be the shit in a grow room but wouldent know how to wire them
Hrm... 12V power supply in a car... 12V power supply in a computer... maybe, depending on amperage and some other factors, could possibly be wired with a simple computer power supply.

They don't emmit the right kinds of light for your plants, especially during the veg state. crappy I know Try CFLs; they are cheep and easy to grow with. If you only have a 12v supply (off grid?) they do make HPS for 12v systems, as well as CFLs. SWF your right to be cautious about wiring up HIDs. If you want PM me I can help you get them going; they arn't that bad after you know what each wire and part is for peace guys
