Quick, Easy Question

  1. Ok fellas so im going out today to buy 2 1000w HPS for my new op and i was wondering if those would be too powerful, regardless of how far from the plants they were, for newer smaller plants?

    If so, what would be a more appropriate bulb to begin the grow? Would Metal Halide possibly work because my ballast is switchable between Halide and HPS....

    Thanks,

  2. Depends how young and small your plants are..you may want to start them under a couple CFL bulbs.

    Are those ballasts dimmable? I recently got one and am vegging a few young plants at 50% power until they get used to the light.
     
  3. Going today to purchase the ballasts i am unsure if they are capable of dimming... I will look into that when purchasing today...

    Anyone know what the absolute best Veg light is?
     
  4. No they are not to powerful. Distance is your only concern. Basically don't get'em so close that you'll cook you plants (duh). As long as they have roots they will be fine.
     
  5. thanks for the advice!
