I would think that would be a deal breaker. Is the extra yield worth it?
Damn right, I've got the blues.

Honestly,it's been a while since ive used reptile bulbs, but im pretty sure i had to have them within 4-8" 2 hours a day to actually have the tops amber out faster but damn, the horti blue did the same thing at over a foot away probably because it was a permanent flower bulb at the time. Pretty sure ive got my reptiglo's and exos sitting around here somewhere they probably dont work anymore, but the hortilux blue was a total system replacement and a much better one imo. Where i live, the sun puts out a retarded amount of UV, 7-8 +/- being average, 11 on a hot day. yet some girls are much more frosty then the others outdoor. Forced maturity via single band UV-x/b is also something i wouldn't like to get into, it will just spark an argument, i will say though its got alot to do with genotypes/phenotypes.

[/QUOTE]A little slurrred this morning , i probably didnt mean "forced". I meant to say, i favor mature buds grown outdoors rather then my blues. Some strains indoor will take on a sleepy watery eye stone if over-ripe, the same ones outdoor usually have a different feeling even when over-ripe. Was that sarcasm? Sorry, i smoked my brain away an hour ago lol

If two weeks is a deal breaker you should run sog that way you don't waste any time at all.

70*5= 350
84*4=336
So in a calender year MH gets 5 harvests and the HPS gets 4.
Does the HPS outyield MH by 25%??
No sog planned but a scrog WILL happen someday.

I get a lb and a half a light. Does it? I've never used mh I can't really give you a yes or no answer on that one dave. I harvest the glue at day 63 most of the rest of the stuff I grow goes 9 to 10 weeks. That dude's fucking with you Dave the plant doesn't finish faster with mh.. that's crazy talk!

Fuck no! Nobody gets grade A weed in less then 9 weeks using indica dominant strains grown in soil.. I've seen a few strains that say 6 to 7 weeks but i doubt it.. mh might degrade tricomes at a faster rate then HPS but tricomes are just one part of what you take into consideration when harvesting. I need to see it crown and stack. Swollen is what your looking for.. If it was all about tricomes outdoor growers would harvest at week 6.

Just doing the math for you as you seemed to doubt the relevance of 14 days and actually @hotrodharley is rather reliable. You are kind of a moving target.

Seems to me that you say "Fuck No!" here and go on to argue against something that was never said. Thats rather convenient.

Lol do your research before you open your mouth. You think I make you look bad dave, but you do that shit on your own. You are arguing over 2 extra weeks that don't exist I harvest everything probably before you do . 2 weeks dave I give you a solution that cuts out your entire veg time and you say no I'm not going to do that but look at the two weeks( that don't exist). You're much smarter when you shut the fuck up.

It seems that way to you because you're a noob. Every real grower understands me. Some may not Like me to much but they definitely understand me. You can't Keep up with the conversation because you don't understand it yet.

I found the smoke less potent but if yield is what you are after in a larger grow it would be worth it. I added MH and made my buds better. But the yield was no 25% larger with HPS alone. Whoever said that is off in my own experience.

The 25% more is what HPS would have to do to outperform MH yield-wise over the course of a year in the scenerio where HPS takes 14 days longer than MH.
Bottom line is if HPS takes 14 days longer, then MH would win both the quality AND quantity battle over the course of a year. No reason to use HPS at all.

I am trying to hit one pound per 600w. Still no luck but I think this harvest I might hit a pound per 600w. I grow in soil.

In your experience, is the potency elevated with hps and mh lighting, combined?
