can anyone help me out with a stupid question

O.k so i have four plants under a 250 watt mh i have big bang pipi and gdp and a strain i like to call alex well i used my 250 mh through my whole veg cycle it was a conversion bulb i just put my hps back in but it just does not seem as bright as it used to im guessing it has to many hours on it and im 4 days into 12/12 i wanted to know if i would get good results with the mh through the whole flowering process i wanna replace the bulb but just got laid off and dont think i can afford that kind of money yet. any info would be greatly appreciated thanks.

sure ,the buds may not be as dense as with hps,but mh willwork

it would be better if you could use a HPS light for flowering, the orange hue simulates natural sunlight if it would be flowering time. But a MH light would be just fine i went through a few crops with a MH through flowering with no problems whatsoever, but if i was you i would go with a HPS if possible

it could just be that your used to the extremely bright blue light emitted from the MH bulb, i look at the two different lights all the time and one definitely looks different after u look at the other.
