MH lighting gives a higher potency? I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. Don't see why it would. As for the leafiness due to genetics, I can buy that. The few bagseed plants I've grown, I always get 1 sativa dom. that produces leaves like that, even under an HPS. Thats why I said it looks like a bitch to trim. lol

Have you tried it? cuz i think he is right about it giving higher potency, I beleive I read quite a few papers regarding that. I am considering putting my 1000W MH in my flowering chamber to go along with my HPS actually myself. The thing is you want all part of spectrum that the plant could use and MOST hps lights lack some of the spectrum that could be used by the plant (I beleive the studys showed that MH produces more "crystals", however fluffier buds, It has been observed in gardens with MH and HPS the parts lit up by MH will have noticeably more crystals and resin - even on plants at the edge of the garden that received some HPS on a portion of it and some MH on another portion it was observed that the half of the plant which received the MH had more crystals and resin then the portion which only received HPS

Hello EVERYONE! I go away on vacation for a week and come back to more action than I expected on this thread. To answer a few questions-

Dry weight : 25.4 Grams (WOOHOO!) Went into the mason jar(s) on the 26th. I have a bunch of stuff dry already so this bud will be curing atleast 4 weeks, hopefully longer depending on how much I burn through the summer...

I believe the "leafiness" is likely a strain issue more than a light issue. Im sure HPS may have produced a heavier bud, but as many experts have shown potency is best with MH, and thats MY opinion. I should note, if I had the choice of 1000W of HPS or MH, I WOULD TAKE THE HPS, the light I'm using was free from an old job site.

Its all personal use. Im just so thrilled not to be buying anything off the street anymore! I save more money not buying than I could EVER make selling, lol.
Guess it is a magnetic ballast then. Buy a 15 dollar igniter, wire it in your current MH ballast and you got yourself an 1000 HPS.
