if you can, use MH for veg.... and give both a shot for flower, both your MH and HPS.

it is said that the spectrum in MH is better for veg as it resembles the spring to early summer sun.(when a plant vegs). and the spectrum of hps resembles the late summer to fall sun.(when i plant is flowering).

Im using metal halide start to finish 400w setup. check my grow journal in my signature if you want to see how my plants look. the last photos are 11 days flowering posted yesterday. it should give you some idea of what a MH can grow with the right other aspects. Ive heard that MH all the way through produces dense buds, but I dont have an experience with this and im sure you can get dense buds even with HPS if you do the right things.

i know for a fact it will make oyur buds super frosty. A friend had done this with his first plant ever, it was the most crystals Ive ever seen on a nug.

if you can afford it,DO IT. it definetly better to use MH for veg an HPS for flowering. i got a 400 watt HPS system for 150$ on EBAY (a great place to buy supplys) i went out and spent 60$ on the converted MH bulb. my plants grew 1 1/2 feet tall in 1 month 9 days. well thats bought as far as i can go with that cause they were all MALES! i was pissed but check out this link and go to lighting......IT WILL HELP. ttp://www.a1b2c3.com/drugs/mjgrow10a.htm

ya, i had found a good online supply of lighting and other goodies. They sell refurbed lighting kits, Ive heard nothing but good things about this site from a few friends, but you never know when u may get a DOA ballast.
