I know the difference between the two, but I was curious as to when vegging with MH should the same watts for HPS be the same or can I change it? Example: 300 watts of MH during veg 300 watts of HPS during first 1-2 weeks of flowering then which to 600 Watts for flowering till finish or 600 watts of MH during veg 600 watts of HPS during flowing What kind of difference would I expect? Thanks again.
There are alot more variables to consider such as number of plants,time in vedge, size of area etc. fill us in a bit more. mj

stop over thinking about growing bro if you start with a 300 watt mh during veg and get a 600 hps during flower your going to see the extra light results but its not going to mean different finished product apart from time. If your growing 8 plants , and perhaps you want to save money you dont even need a mh people only use for veg for the extra warmth , i really think its a waste of money. a hps you will get good if not better results for veg and flower and bvetter lumen to watt ratio. 600 watt for 8 plants is the general summary im trying to make.
Very true, I'm over thinking it. My grow was delayed so now I just ponder the possibilites. lol. Thanks you for pointing it out. Seriously thanks though.
