    I have never grown bud, but am seriously considering starting. I have pretty much the basic knowledge needed to be successfull but I have one question. Can I use a metal halide or high pressure sodium light for the veg. stage AND flowering stage? Basically I want to be able to use one light for the whole process and just change the lighting cycle rather than switching from MH to HPS. (I don't want to have to buy 2 different lights/systems). Any ideas? Thanx.

    Hey. You don't have to buy 2 systems. Buy a hps system and a metal halide conversion bulb. Use the mh during veg, unscrew it, screw in hps for flower.

    or, as ciderbottle said, use HPS for veg & flowering.... :)

    peace and gl.

    yes you can use an hps for both, but a mh provides shorter internode spacing
