Okay I'm reading about lighting and see some very interesting things on all aspects of the mh/hps topic or both however I'm here for advice or do or donts I'm getting a light track and a tent and a lot of equipment on top of my 1000watt hps/mh light. I'm curious should I run 2 600watt lights and then keep one mh during flower or run a 400 and 600 watt and use the mh in the 400 watt during flower and then use the hps in the 600watt. I'm worried would too much blue cause a bad effect? I think in my head and how I see it that running 2 600s would be best and then using the one for mh or wait a totally different idea how about just running hps threw both what's preferred for flower folks?!.. WHAT IS BEST WEIGHT/QUALLITY WISE....
Both. I grew for years with just 1,000wMH and I still had big fat frosty sticky buds. If you have HPS for both lights then use the HPS's for flower.
Okay well shoot you figure that running both would benifit? I decided to buy the 2 600 watts. I'm currently running a 1000 watt and I figure it would increase area with 2 lights on the track rather than 1 plus heat effecency of the 600 watts.
(2) 600 has another advantage in that you can run (2) 600w on a 15 amp 110v circuit, where as now way can I run my (2) 1000w on one circuit. I'm now working on adding a 220 VAC sub panel with 10-3 wire and then making room for (4) 1,000W lights.
Okay that's awesome, yeah I'm already re wiring my stuff now to handle this. I'm also fabricating a few things to be a little high tech. Automated misting system and a couple other sweet ideas... I am correct though about it increasing area + with the light track a good set up.
