Hello, i am soon going to start an AK-47 hydro indoor grow with roughly 12 or so plants. i currently have 2 1000w Grow bulbs(1 mh and 1 high sodium) as the main light source. I wanted to know if this is the best type of lighting to use all the time or just in the budding stage. if its not good for the growing stage what would be the best type to use? thanks for the help guys
you can use that one hps bulb and get pretty good results all the mh will do really is make veg the tinyist more fast and make the plants strech hps is good for flower and veg -- the bubonic plague
You'll be happy as long as all the plants are under the HPS during flowering. You could use ht MH for veg and the HPS for flowering, or you could use them both the whole time as long as you made sure all plants got both types of light.
