Please need the help, i plan on goin to the hydroponics store tomorow- Can i use a 600 wat HPS light throughout both vegation and flowering stage of the plants life? If i decide to use the HPS instead of the MH for vegation what will the downside or postive effect be?
I want to get the ballast so i can put a 600 watt MH and then a 600 hps. althought how much degrees will a HPS light bring up the room. 20 degrees would you say? ( 2x6)
Although one 400 watter wont cover 8 plants? UNLESS i buy 2 t-5's and put those on the sides.
Yes you have to bare with me, im tryin to learn thats why im asking so many questions. If the 400 doesnt have enough balls to grow the 8 plants should i just then switch to a 600 and attempt to keep the heat out. Will a 400 even flower 8 plants also?
I'm not capable of being able to set up inline fans that run air outside. Would it be a better choice to just run a 400 MH for vegation with 2 t-5's? and have fans circalting at the plant and then one pointin the air outwards? Then for flowering having a 400hps with those same t-5s? When im at the hydroponic store im gong to be looking for a MH that can use both hps and MH bulbs....whats the name of this. I want to be able to just switch the bulbs.
if you can get some T-5's i would go that route and then your 400 hps for flower...the T-5's work really well and little heat signature. describe your grow room for us and we can help you easier
What if i through that 600 watt directly in the middle with 2 t-5s point at the sides of the plants? And i do hear what oyur saying with the light rail because the rooms is more of a hallway looking room. Although wouldnt a light rail be a bitch to set up?
The room is 2 feet wide by 6 feet in length. Its just a closet but the room that this closet is in stay aroun 60 degrees at all time. I wanted to get 2 400 MH for vegging but that isway to much heat supposley from what people are saying on hear. So Im just trying to stick with one bigger bulb like a 600 for vegging then switching to the 600 hps flowering. Keep in mind if need i will buy t-5s to lay along the walls.
yeah two 400's would do nicely in that space BUT THE HEAT is extreme and will kill your crop...then wasted all that money......are you going to veg and flower in this closet? what kind of door? is it sliding door? accordion style?
