MH light is Blue, HPS light is RED.
Red is better for Flowering, and Blue is better for vegging.
Many do use MH for both, or HPS for Both.
HPS in flower will create denser, fatter buds....

Certainly you can use MH for the entire grow. When I was first setting up my grow room I flowered out a couple of crops under one 400watt MH, I found that, as has already been said,the buds were a little looser and smaller than I now get unde 1000 watts HPS's. If yu can only have one HID lamp in a small area I would go with either a 400 or 600 watt MH. If,in the future you expand,it will be good for your veg room, after all. Good luck!

TRASH, LEDS ARE TRASH!!!
It may start to autoflower when it gets to be about a month old maybe a month and half, but seeing as it is in the windowseal it will be going by the sun natural shift to 12/12 lighting which depending on where you are in the world is happening rather soon.

I don't think about them at all. Buy real HID lamps, LEDs are not yet able to do the job, more development may change this,stay tuned.

I'm working on my first grow -- a closet grow -- and am currently about five weeks into flowering. I'm using a 450 watt HPS bulb mounted under a reflector hood.
Last night, I noticed that several leaves on one of my plants were significantly burned (crispy and brown). I'd been trying to keep the tops of the plants close to the light because of the plants' height (they're about 3' tall and I've been concerned about light reaching the bottoms).
Would I be better off removing the reflector hood for the rest of this grow and letting the light bulb hang vertically in the middle of the three plants? And would that lower the temperature in the closet?

ur prolly burning ur plants with the light.........if ur concerned about light reaching the bottom go buy a few cfls and put em on the sides that actually helps with the side buds to develop

Im new to this and am probably asking this in the wrong place, but, can you help? I am wondering why my baby was growing great buds and then all of a sudden 1 day it started getting covered in seeds, seeds all over the thing now. Could it be because 2 nites it got an extra hour of light?? Thanks!

ps; stealing from construction sites is awesome...its working at em that sucks

as of right now dude them leds arent as good as the mh/hps lighting system but maybe in the near future they may come out with something close but i highly doubt it like i said mh/hps is the light/lights to have for growing
