My question is, my buddy I'm helping out with lights was using a 400w mag ballast with a lowes HPS lamp. Of course he knows this isn't the way to veg but he has nothing in 400w with the blue spectrum.
I was able to hook him up with a 1000w ballast and full spectrum lamp to give the plants the proper spectrum. I told him to raise the light as high as he can go which is about 8ft and the plants are about 41/2 feet away from the light.
Now I know the lighting is correct, but what I don't know is how intense this light will affect the plants? should we lower the table more? The light puts out about 90,000 lumens.
