my buddy is considering a 3 stage grow. Reason being, veg take 4-6 weeks, and flowering takes 8-12 depending on strain. If you had a 4 T5HO 6500k for veg, an 1000 HPS for flower, what would you use in between?
I'm considering 8 t5HO 6-2700k 2-6500k just because of low heat and large coverage. The alternative would be to get a 400 watt HPS, but don't like the heat issues, and the limited plant coverage.
So the idea is veg 4-6wks under 4 t5's, flower 4-6wks under 8 t5's, and finish under 1000 HPS. This way only a couple plants are in one stage at anytime and get a steady flow of nugz.
ideas, suggestions, objections, all are welcome!
