Ok guys, I'm up late, and have a lighting ??? since we are on the topic. I currently have a 1000w hps. I have a magnetic hps ballast, so I don't believe I can just run a 1000wmh bulb for vegging. I want to get a 1000w blue dual arc hps bulb. I don't know however if this will be financially fesable before I start my grow without delaying it even more, its already gonna be another 1-2 months before I can start. Should I:
1. Go ahead and start my grow with the 1000w hps
2. Start with my florotubes, and maybe some cfl's
3. Wait till I can get the hps blue bulb?
What do you guys think, I know that the hps red I have isn't ideal for vegging, but would it be better then the cfls, and florotubes? Could I run the whole grow with the hps red with out to many worries? Thanks for any feedback as usual!
