I don't know there is such a thing as a 430 ballast. The Son Agro 430 will run on an S51 ballast, same as a 400 HPS. I used to run a 170 Son Agro on my 150 ballast. Then I had to replace it ASAP with a 150 HPS. The garden never saw the difference but, my wallet sure did.Thundurkel said:I dont have it yet but I will in a couple weeks so I will come and join the club after I finish a grow the the 400w HPS. Can I run a 430w Sun Agro bulb with just a 400w ballast?

This is my first grow, so I really have no idea what I'm doing - Feel free to let me know where I went wrong; As may be apparent, I've layed this out based solely on what I've gleaned from these very forums... Comments? Criticisms? Adjustments? Suggestions? Let 'er rip!
