Hi all. Long time reader, first time poster. A little background before my question: I've previously finished 2 DWC grows with 6x 5 gallon buckets using a 1000W SunMaster Warm Deluxe MH. The harvests were okay. Not as much yield as I had hoped, but it was my first time with hydro so it was a good learning experience. I've moved and am now expanding a bit. I'm going to be growing 10 plants in a 12'x10' area using Titan's Flo-n-Gro system. My question comes down to my lighting options. Since I'm expanding my grow site, I want to use a 2nd light. As I'm not going to have a separate area for flowering vs vegging, I was planning on hanging both a HPS and a MH in the same area. I was trying to keep the wattage the same for both, but I'm not sure how important that would be. Also, 2000W is going to be a little too much heat in my area. I was going to get a 600W MH and HPS but then remembered that 600W MH is not an industry standard. So now I'm leaning towards 2x 600W HPS ballasts and getting a Hortilux Blue as well as a Hortilux Super HPS. Does anyone see any issues with this lighting setup or have any better suggestions? I'm kind of a NOOB when it comes to mixing MH and HPS in the same grow. Thanks for the input.
