a mh puts out not only a shit ton more light but also uv and its got a great spectrum for veg. the only reasons i can think of for not using it is one you only have 1 plant when that many watts could cover alot more. and the second being ventilation. if you dont care that your wasteing alot of light and dont have problems ventin the air, then by all means throw that bitch underthere and pray its a girl
 
Its a new set up and im dying to try it out. But should i? I have a 6" vortex fan so venting is not an issue. Should i wait till i start to clone if it is a girl. Damn i hate waiting............
 
Grow that hummer out with the MH light bro, it will grow faster and you might be lucky enough to have a female, grow it big enough to take a bunch of clones and grow lotsa ganja.
 
Ok lets say it is a sexy bitch and its under my 600watter till i clone. Can i put her back under my 110watt 10,00 lumens flouro light? Will that cause any probs wit her? What to do?
 
she may not like it but if there is life she wont die but she may suffer a little in the process
 
i move my mother under my MH at times when i need to put on some bulk for clones and then put her back under my 10000lumen flouro to keep her gowing while i grow out my clones and she doesnt seem to get stressed over it. you will be fine ... break out that 600watter and put some weight on that sexy bitch
 
OK, to break it down for you.

Lights

MH is for veg. HPS is much better for flower but MH will work.

Your 600W MH light would your plants MUCH more light so you should be using that after about a week or from seedlings if you can keep it a goodly distance away.

Normally I would say get an HPS conversion bulb but that's $100 so I would spend a little more and just get a whole new setup. And in the future don't buy MH ballasts, buy HPS ballasts because MH conversion bulbs are MUCH cheaper than HPS conversion bulbs.

Also if you get a digital ballast make sure it works with both kinds of bulbs via an MH conversion bulb.

Cloning
You can move the mother plant back and forth between the different lights without any problems. Just make sure you aren't changing the light cycle, that's what can mess her up. You don't want to have a plant go into flower then take it out of flower. It's do able but not advisable to do so because you might hermie the plant.

A mother plant will be fine under floros. In fact that's a great place for her because you don't need her to grow that much, just enough to give you plenty of new growth shoots to clone from.
 
cool thanx for the info ill keep that inimed. i have a Xl Homebox with a Lumatek ballast with a 600w HPS/MH. with a 6" vortex fan 450cfm also a Hdrotek Silverstar reflector with a cool tube on the inside of the reflector. I have my baay on a 24/7 light cycle. so when i switch her to the 600w MH, How long do i keep it on for? all day or 18/6? wnd when i do the switch do i start feed nutes? Im useing FF grow big.
 
Well not much has changed since i put the 600w mh light on. How far should i keep this light from my palnt? Temps are right at 75-80 all day. My light at the moment is about 14" from the plant no heat problems.

man if you have the money to spend on the bill then go right ahead, if you keep temps good and have the light nice and close with no burn it will grow like fucking crazy, usually hps is better but you only have one plant under a 600 watter lol thats crazy but cool. well good luck man Peace
 
also since you have one plant under that light what I would do is top it like 3 times then bud it. thats just what I would do though.
 
OK, now to answer the question you asked.

Q: How close should I get the light to my plants?

A: With a 600W HID light that is not in a cool tube you want to keep it at least 18 inches away but the easiest way to tell is to put the back of your own hand where the tops of the plants are. If your hand is uncomfortable, if it is too hot, then raise the light.

my light is in a cooltube type reflector and its 6" away from my 600w mh light, with no heat problems. Is that a good distance from the light?
