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

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

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.
