what kinda watt hps will do for veg and do I need a less powerful watt hps for the flowering or do I use the same one???
Yeah, it all depends on the size of the grow room. I use a 400W Metal Halide in a 4'x3' closet for veg. But the plants grow much bigger in flowering, so I use a 1000W High Pressure Sodium for flowering in a full bedroom.
I have only started growing this year had a few under regular light bulbs they did'nt turn out that great. Tried a few outdoors 2 out of the five females died. I only have 2 females left + a few younger ones so am gonna start again under hps but in soil
