Metal Halide or HPS

future2383 · Oct 20, 2009

I've been doing my research for the last three weeks, and have started my grow. Now I have 2 questions that I can't find answers for.

1. I recently read on another site that using a mh and hps simultaneously during vegging was the most beneficial way to light your grow room. What do you all think I trust your opinions more than any place else because you all have helped me so much already.

2.I have a 70w MH and a 150w hps. Should I scrap my 70w mh and get bigger one or will this be good for my 2x4x5 ft. grow closet.

What he said. I just switched my lights from 8/16 to 12/12 and from my 250w MH to HPS

i would rock them both for veg and flower. go bigger when possible as long as you can vent the heat

You may want to up the lights a little for that size grow. I dont veg long so I dont worry about a high MH to HPS ratio. My dual spectrum 250 has always seemed to produce the best, as compared to my original 150MH veg / 400HPS flower setup.
