I am just about ready for flowering, but i have only just realised I have no lighting I have seen this online, SHP HID Sodium (SON) 400w Lamp, is this of any use (i thought i was on the right track) also what kind of fitting would i need if i was to make a grow light myself?
Im a pain in the arse i know :leaf:

IDK wtf that is. But I know you do still need a ballast and a socket with it, and some kind of hood/reflector too. Plus that bulb is 2050K? I dont think thats what you want at all.
You want an HPS (high pressure sodium) @ 2200K or CFL's @ 2700K
If you just have 1 plant use CFL's... much more efficient. But if you have a couple plants or more definitely get a 400W HPS. Luck, Peace
