i like halide a few weeks into flowering, then transfer to hps. may experiment with mixed lighting in flower. perhaps w some strains more others, only halide seemed to promote leaf emphasis.

I remember stuffing my then newly built Olds 455 into my '66 Starfire. That thing was a monster; the crank alone was 75 lbs, as was each head, lolyeaaa easy... just need like a good 40 hrs of it

Yes, plants like their blue spectrum, which they aren't getting with HPS. Because I'm trying to get my babies to stretch I actually run all my remaining HPS in veg to get them to elongate, lol
Only when they hit bloom do they get straight CDM@4000 Kelvin. I like the somewhat higher/bluer spectrum because;
A. It mimics sunlight very well
B. It slows down the early bloom stretch
C. It helps with flower set, maturation and the all important frost factor.

I like the idea of going a couple extra weeks with MH and then turning to HPS with morning blasts of T5 Blues/UV. Had a 4 bulb ordered but what was in stock then was out if stock. So, Next grow.

I honestly haven't done any back to back but last time I ran 600 watt mh and cfu uv supplement my weed was mind numbing. I'm still messing with leds I want to try adding uv later after I get some bugs worked out. I'm glad others are sharing their thoughts on the subject.

I purchased this 1000w solistek 10k bulb...
I'm going to use is for the last 3 weeks of flower.
I'm curious to know the what this bulb has the capabilities of doing to my plant, has anyone had experience with this bulb?

Shit.. I can tell you one thing...
my old house was @3000 ft above sea level, previously I grew AT sea level, like literally a block from the beach, not only did my irish white ass BURN like a mofo up @3000 ft, but the blue dream, and the jack herer, and the J1, that were my "staples" at the time, normally grown outside near the beach, well....grown at the top of that mountain?
I can tell you man, it glistened with a different gloss, and a different sparkle, and the high?
Whew... the blue dream adopted WAY more of a racy high, fast heartbeat, very visual, the room kinda sparkled and looked almost "wet" because I was so high.
And the jack, well not only was the juicy-fruit flavor way more pronounced but the high was more racy also.
Both would make me VERY lightheaded the next morning and throughout the high... having to get up slowly.. and staggering my ass to the fridge... to eat the remaining blackberry jam... that was months past it's pull date..
Honestly.. I didn't reaaaally prefer it quite that strong...
I'm an old guy..
Reason i'm babbling about that, is the difference was the uv, or at least that's my theory.. certainly gave me sunburns in like 10 mins or less, no exaggeration there either, and i'm irish, but i have native american in me too, so it's not like i'm totally fair-skinned.
Always wanted to grow in the northern California mountains around 6k or so.. see what you could do...
Back on topic though, the absolute best results I've had indoors, was with two 600hps, and one 400MH in the middle.
Visually different, and it smoked so nice.. and those were again the jack herer and the bluedream (for yrs, that's ALL I grew)

get some pics on those when you can my brother.
I feel I am either going with a CDM 860w or a 600w 10kMH.
I want to match a 600hps with a 600mh if I can... or perhaps the 860... but that's a bit more heat because I can't run that cdm horizontally, which means no air cooling... which means temps.... also if the other hps is horizontal then that sorta has conflicting light footprints... which I don't want really.
hmm
that 600 puts out a LOT of lumens in those juicy spectrums too..
I think I may have just decided on that...
I swear...
one day it's high-end leds, the next, a cdm for my 1000w, the next I see this beefy 600wMH...
the same shit i go through with cannabis strains, women, candy bars, restaurants, and video games...
I got problems...

hey ty, since u switched to cdl have you noticed a difference in the first 2 week stretch in flower? ive had my ladies under the cdl for almost 2 weeks now and they have not stretched half as much as they did under hps/mh lighting..i should end up with nice tight colas as the nodes are much closer together now..lovin the lamp so far..

the cdl lamps run much cooler than hps/mh, my 315 watt cdl can be put as close as cfl, open hood,no air cooling i was worried about heat, but its not an issue...

My plant's internode spacing is a lot tighter under CDM, that's one of the reasons I tried it originally.

860W CDM is still enough heat to need respect, I'd say a lot like 600W HPS.
