Can i veg under hps

T5's are also cooler and you save quite a pretty penny on power :D Chobble. Chobble: Yeah your right they will cover the same sq. I think the MH penetrates better so is necessary in specific situations. I wasnt trying to pick a fight I was mearly stating that its cheaper etc :p I completely understand the benefits of a MH as well, I just dont think theres much need for them i didnt want you to think i was tryn Bannacis said:.

From my knowledge Photoperiod plants work with the light amount and not so much with the type of light, yes the different lights will help but not necessarily hinder the process.

Flowering occurs when the light over a period of time is limited. But for non photoperiod plants, it'll work but its not going to be as good if you had the right lighting system. You must log in or register to reply here.

Build a predominantly blue spectrum LED of about w for veg and then a predominately red spectrum w for flower. Last edited: Apr 17, Nunyabiz said:.

Very easy and resilient strain My question is Whichever plant ends up being the strongest. Is it dumb to be veging under HPS? I have been veging under MH for about 3 weeks, and used compact flos before that.

The plants are a little over 2 months old. I have a MH bulb and my ballast is switchable. Or can i use HPS to veg and flower? Thank you city.

Not best practice but there will be enough air in the room to suffice 3 small plants but you may have to seal the door with a towel along the bottom to prevent light entering and smell leaving. Happy growing.

He's even coming out with a line of bulbs, MH only, specially designed for horticulture. I think they were called Sun Pulse? I'll type up the article later. Shockeclipse w Of Love.
