i looked through here a couple of times but cant find a answer.i just want to know if i can run a 150w mh bulb in my security light?
Metal Halide & High Pressure Sodium bulbs each require their own specific ballast.
They do make conversion ballasts that will operate both, but it won't be found in a security light fixture.
Sorry.
What would be the big difference if it is 60 days or 70 days?
Flowering times are just guidelines anyway...one grow can cause them to ripen faster than another grow. Too many variables involved.
If the breeder lists their times after flowers appear, you will just be disappointed if you count from 12/12. Just watch your plants and then you will know how long they take.
Unless you only count on doing the thing one time, you will have your answer soon. (shrug)
Just about all commercial cannabis will go from 7-10 wks, and hazes longer.
You should've resisted the because you're wrong.Mira 61, Mira 62 and Mira 63 (all HPS/MH security light fixtures).
(Sorry, couldn't resist the butt)

Every damn common HPS/MH bulb is E40.
Why are you so hung up on that light, blackmagic? It is not all that. It has a glass, that should not be used with the 150, being it is already low penetration.
And how well does the ballast remote? If not at all, it is crap for the 150 grower.
The perfect 150 was the DIY discontinued by econolights. I would pass if I saw yours, no matter the price.
