Can I bud with metal halide, with 12/12 light cycle???:watchplant:
I doubt you'll notice any substantial difference
CowboyBudsky said:Man you guys are killen me Everyone keeps saying to Veg with MH and Flower with HPS? I am getting confused. If there is no difference why spend the money for both?
city said:I don't have a clue what the lumz difference is. But I have a 400w MH . And 2 bulbs. I can see the difference between them. 1 bulb is blue spectrum and the other is red/orange.
The blue was 19 bucks that you can get anywhere. And the reb I got from the hydro store for 75 bucks. They make mh conversion bulbs.. hps bulbs for mh. Don't know how it works. Or you can get a mh digital ballast that does both MH or HPS

for many years.. farmers has been use weather seasons to follow the cycle to ensure the vegetables will bloom during fall time..
all plants that has been growing outdoor with right cycles... will most likely to bloom properly indoor with HPS better than to use MH... eventhough if you want to push `18/6 with MH while the plant is mature.. it will keep on growing lot of yields of leaves which is good for donors (clones)... but.. if you want to get good yield of blooms (buds) you need stick with HPS and maybe you are 3 to 4 months away from having good yields of buds... why ruin it with MH? you want to throw in MH after all you have done for that plants.. dude you are wastin your time with MH because your plants is waiting for HPS to start bloom.. I have seen it.. even with cfls.. they will bloom little buds.. so HPS is great to start iwth..

What is the heat factor with 400w MH, and how far away do you keep it from the plant??? My cfl's a practically touching them...
