MH=Metal Halide....used mainly for the vegatative stage
HPS=High Pressure Sodium....used for flowering however can be used for the entire grow....as can the MH.....however where possible use MH for veg and HPS for flowering......mh has a blue spectrum.....hps has a red spectrum....hence why it appears to be a yellow light.....hope that made sense...lol....Peace out...Sid

Cool Options

Today, i just planted 6 seedlings in the paper towel for sprouts, becuase my parents would probly get mad if they found them i really only need 2 to 3 plants. Ive read that people sometimes use a 4 foot MH lamp to beGin with, but that seems a little exsesive to me. Im thinking like a 1 or 2 foot long bulb to start with. My givin space for growing is not that large so any help you guys can give me is appreciated (SP) =p

ok...if it's 4 foot long it won't be a mh it will be a fluro....i've never grown with fluros before however i imagine that you'd be better with approx 4 or 5....2 foot fluros and a small operation like a wardrobe or big box...(box is more dangerous...heat electrical eqip etc) and grow then to approx 10-12"...possibly even top them or train them to you're required space....good ventilation will be esential to you're operation in such a small grow space...also keep a close eye one the temperture....70-80 degrees farenheit is a good target to aim at....Peace out..Sid

Hey guys,
This is my first grow and i'm using a 400w hps which seems to do the trick just fine. I've got eight going right now but the thing is i have no clue what strain they are...so for next time i'm thinking of buying some seeds. Any recommendations I have limited ground space but quite a bit of vertical space. I've been reading about northern lights ...would you recommend it? thanks
