roger that, i planned on getting a 400w MH but the guy at the hydro shop told me to just use HPS to save money on a new light, he said that the "sunflower" would stretch a bit more than one under a MH. But my nodes are tight and its a bush, so i dont know.

 

[SmittyB..]

Same thing my hydro man told me. He actually told me no one really uses MH anymore? (He must not be a member)

most hydro shop guys no nothing about actualy growing marijuan due to the fact that they are "old timers" and are use to groeing crap .. but ya nice grow...

Two of the guys in my growshop i know grow the bollox weed.

Most hps lamps are tweaked to give out more blue light these days so they perform well in veg too, but even before that hps was still fine for veg.

 

[RL420]

im glad i used it, i saved money and it works perfect for veg. I use a hortilux eye bulb

 

[SmittyB..]

So im guessing you got yours from your local hydro shop? How do you vent your hps and what are you growing in? Closet?
