hps or dual spectrum

[mike1977]

ok so ive just finished my first grow and i was very happy with the results and im already planning grow number 2 and just want to tweek a few things to get even better results so in my first grow i used a 600 mh to veg then a 600 hps to flower but i keep hearing about dual spectrum bulbs and was looking for people who have used normal hps and dual bulbs to get their opinion on which they thought gave better crops so any tips would be great guys thanks

dual spec is better for trichome development imo

ok so can I use the dual bulb for veg and flower or should I use the mh for veg then change to dual hps for flower

Personally i use my 600w SUNMASTER DUAL spec for a little of veg only a few days and then all of flowering,

Below are pics of a bud taken today at day 42 of 12/12 using the dual spec

man they look nice so im guessing that i still use the mh for most of the veg then switch to the dual hps for a bit of the veg then all of the flower stage thanks

dual spectrum just saves you money on bulbs because you only need one.but they do need to be replaced more often tho.you wont notice a big difference,if any,between a hps and dual spectrum when it comes to yeild and tric production.
