EDIT: to buy or not to buy... that is the question

 

[Nocturn3]

Yes, HPS works fine for vegging.

 

[OregonMeds]

uh huh, no problem

 

[Antman]

Of course.

 

[greenearth5]

I thought you could only use the MH during veg.. and HPS during flowering ... If i get this HPS then it will be my primary source of light.. if it works then ill get it now

 

[OregonMeds]

mh is more efficient in veg. If it made a difference to you, you could run less watts of halide to veg equal to that hps.

I have 2 cfl bubls.. a 100$ budget .. and this 150HPS system is 85 bucks.. i dont think i can even it out

 

[OregonMeds]

Well, that's your fault for choosing that over the $20 150w hps

That 20$ HPS needs a ton of risky wireing and im not risking anybodies lifes.

dotn get me wrong.. i would totally do the 20$ bulb if i had my own crib.. i can wire that shit up fast... but i live in an apt and i dont want to run the slightest risk.. Its worth the extra cash.. but i apprecate your help bud

 

[greenearth5]

so far everyone says that the HPS will grow the bud... so i placed the order.. thanks you alll

 

[GlassFreak]

good luck man.

lol Oregon meds thought you might be an ass for a second. but now i'm rofl

150 watts works fine for veg

 

[GlassFreak]

is 400w too much for 6 plants?

 

[SmokeyMcSmokester]

if you are gonna buy a 150 there are cheaper one than the HTGS one

i dont understand.....is mh more effecient because the light is more towards the blue spectrum???,,,4 vegg......because arent u sacrificing lumen for that transition...there isnt any bulbs i can change for the hps system.....1 for veg..1 for flowering???

I believe this is the way it works....

MH (Metal Halide) is best for veg and is in the 5700K range... VS. HPS (High Pressure Sodium) which is best for flowering and is in the 2700K range

With this particular setup that i just polled about.. and bought... there is no interchanging of MH & HPS bulbs... however there are many types of bulbs out there

I think I can answer your qustion... I believe there is a HPS & MH bulb made into 1 light bulb

also check this "CONVERSION" bulb out

I think you are right... you can use a MH bulb in a HPS ballast and vs versa... but you must get the correct bulbs to do so
