what to veg with riu opinion.

ok so i have a question.

im not a nooby. i was just wondering if i should waste my time vegging with the 400w mh which is rated at 38k lumens +heat. or should i use my 430w super agro hps rated at 53k lumen + lower heat. i just want faster and more explosive growth. the pics i have up are my of mandala 8mile strain and are only 5days above soil. i am using 430w hps for this. check it out.

i forgot to load the pics here they are. they are 5 days old above the soil.

Looks like that bulb has the added blue spectrum like the Hotrilux bulbs I'm running. I haven't had any problems with stretching you'll probably be fine.

I'm guessing it doesn't look near as yellow under your lights as it does on cam, the older HPS bulbs I had before burned red regardless more like orangey halogen light. If your cam has a tungsten setting you can clean that up.

yeah see i had just a tad of stretch on 1 of them but not the rest. and my cam only adjust its self, i didnt use flash or they would of came out better and thanks bro. your almost always the 1st to answer my questions. lol so what you got going? pics links? get any promos from the tude?

oh im at 13in from top of them.

Yea that's about what I'm running mine at. I had one russian stretch into the heat zone a bit though and get burned.

Been looking into a T5 setup myself so I was hoping more people would chime in. Got a ballast going in one of my flouroscents and my first round of clones are about rooted.
