hey...this is my first time growing so i am only growing 2-3 plants. currently my plants are germinating but once they do then straight to the soil. i have a philips 150 watt Clear High Pressure Sodium Bulb will this work?? also do i need to put them in a certain fixture to make sure that i don't start an electrical fire or blow the bulb at all?? any suggestions on what i need to do with my lighting b/c all i have is the bulb no fixture yet to put in??
yea..you need a ballast and such for your hps...a 150 watt is ok for 3 plants..you could definitaley use more though, it would help, but if thats not feasible with your financial situation or what not, 150 watts hps can work with 3 plants..just dont expect the king of yields.
