I purchased a small HID grow hood for 15$. was going to buy a ballast but cant find one to fit the cord I have. Anyone ever seen this kind of plug before? Thanks
Yes I have seen that before..you have to buy this adapter. 7 bucks on amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Hydrofarm-Plug-Adapter-Brand-S/dp/B001IQ480S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413039109&sr=8-1&keywords=ballast+adapter
Thanks for the response IFourTwenty but if you look closer at my pic, there not the same plug. the flat prong is in between the 2 round prongs. the hydrofarm plug has 2 round prongs next to each other and the flat prong offset to the side. Should I just buy a cheap ballast and hack the cord up and splice the connection? Thanks again.
Oh I'm not too sure about that..I just remember back when I had a hydrofarm hood I had to buy that adapter to fit my ipower ballast. But yea you're right that adapter wouldn't work..maybe someone else knows something
if you can't find the proper plug..... you can take a 3 prong extension cord, cut it in the middle, and then splice that in for your quick connect.
