I want to buy a HPS lighting system. However, I want it to be an interchangable system. So I can switch between an MH and HPS bulb. Does anyone know a good website(or store) that I can Purchase one from?
Answers: Do you really obligation to switch? I did that years ago, and about five years ago go to just HPS for my tomatoes and plants that the harvest/yield is earth-shattering (my lettuce and celery do fine under a couple of plain behind the times compact fluorescents) -- they are in the grow stage for such a short interval of time. I have not see any reduction of point or quantity of bring in, and have not have any problem with putting the plants stern into growth (18/6) for a couple of weeks then wager on to flowering (12/12). I've got a couple of plants that are truly four years old.
However, check out Future Garden (Long Island, NY) (link below) -- I trust them implicitly, and they enjoy dual systems.
I also just picked up a couple of smaller HPS unit from an outfit that sells on e-Bay -- htgsupply -- they own an excellent reputation, maintain your privacy, and overall I enjoy been severely pleased with them (they're out of PA).
