Hi guys and gals, wasn't sure whether to post in newby central, but as my question is relating to lights, here goes.
I am currently raising my seedlings under a 250W metal halide. After cocking up the feed initially, all seems to be getting back on track. For when I eventually get to flowering, I have a 600W HPS bulb to switch to. I understand why MH is preferable for veg and HPS is preferable for flower, and am not thinking of changing my setup, but I'm curious about something:
- Is there a point at which the increased wattage of a high watt HPS bulb becomes superior - for vegetative growth - to a lower watt MH?
For example, would 600 watts of HPS be better for veg than 125 watts of MH?
