OK i'm full of shit then, i'll just keep everything to myself unless someone asks via PM...

Also i'm just so retarded apparently that If anyone wants my spare new hps bulbs or the 2 or 3 lightly used bulbs I have, you can have them for cheap because obviously everyone else is so smart why dont you all jump on this deal and help me out with some $$ to buy new MH bulbs?

Because obviously HPS are so good?

EDIT : I have like 8x 1000W hps bulbs and like 6x600w hps bulbs, pm me if you want them all i'll cut a deal.
Theres also 2x1000w hps used (4 months) and 2x600w hps used (4months)

HPS lamps are good in veg and flowering, something you cannot say about Metal Halide bulbs....

Now back to cloning........

9 days is very believable. i have seen nubs starting in 3 days before, but usually 6-10 days is normal. But took awhile to get the practice down so I am close to 100% success.

Why are you spouting off about lumens? It's UVB/UVA radiation i'm after. HPS can't push that out like MV, also MV come in higher wattages than 175...

I posted this chart to show you that MV is way inefficient watts to lumen output is horrible due to heat loss. flouros are better also as valjean posted there is almost no usable light emitted by MV. Mostly green and violet. so maybe a worst case scenario veg light but ill stick with HPS.

Potency before yield, having a good yield is just a bonus.

I found HPS to be detrimental to my strain at all points in growth, is it just me with this problem? Is it just the strain? My plants are frosty ... frostier than alot of pics here i've seen under HPS, and i'm not trying to start a pissing match here i'm just saying that this was my results... keep in mind the hps bulbs are hortilux eye super hps, and the MH were plantmax 7.2k bulbs

HPS only = stunted growth in veg, budded fast but buds were airy and had no punch to them, yield was good
hps / mh only = stunted growth in veg, budded fast but same as above, just more punch, yield was good
MH only = great veg growth, budded fast with good punch and good yield

Right now my test is MH only , 3k sunpulse MH and 7.2k solarmax MH (i'm trying to see just how much better the solarmax does in comparison to cheapo plantmax bulbs, to be honest the plantmax bulbs are a GREAT performer for flowering (surprised me alot)... they just sing in the ballasts though hahaa, the solarmax bulbs dont sing

now keep in mind not all MH bulbs are created equal, which MH bulbs had you been experimenting with?

EDIT : I forgot to mention the strain i'm using came from a reallllly bad batch of herb my friend grew out, the seeds were free thats why Ive ben able to experiment and not really worry too much about the outcome, also the strain is really weak to begin with so to see them more frosted just under my cheapo plantmax bulbs than they EVER got under hps bulbs really makes me wonder what the rage with hps could be?

I'm going to reply to this in private in the interest of keeping the thread on topic.

Just recently had 3 cacti cuttings root in less than 2 days when normally it doesn't happen with cacti for 1 to 6 months. The only thing different about these cuttings were that they were shrivveled they'd been cut in august and not planted til jan but they rooted in less then 48hrs. I believe the OP. I dont think it had to do with his tek but I like the split stem, I'll try that one. I think the supermoon was influencial but not the deciding factor. The moon does something to some plants sometimes. I've seen it happen to many times on a full moon to doubt it but It does not effect all plants the same and its effects aren't alway seen.

I dont see what the OP or anyone else is waiting for to try this tek again, I'd put it to the test right now if I had cloning gel etc. Someone do this and post pics every 12 hours.


Btw-Do you use that mv for uv supplementation? If so that should be stated that you dont use it for "growing" light but for resin light. I've heard alot of folks sugges that using or adding a metal halide on flowers produces better resin in fact george c used to swear by them up and down for bud quality. But a merc vap byitself is going to produce too much heat and not enough usable light especialy for how hot they are. Heat and light need to be in balance with eachother. and another btw lumens dont necessarily translate to usable light for growing, they USUALLY go hand in hand but lumens dont grow the plants.

LMAO thats funny as hell. too bad i only have a 400w system. I would it love to try a CMH in flowering sometime though.

i can take pics of my clones and tell you that the roots started within 5 mins..... how can you tell when the pics were taken....

I don't have room for anymore right now. I'm having a bit of a problem with my roommate and gotta get my plants out in less than two weeks. So no more clones till i get his broke ass out so he doesn't rat me out.
