HPS will have a larger yeild, but the MH will produce more resin in the the buds.

Here is a link to explain to you that I am correct. MH lights produce UVb light, while the HPS doesn't. This UVb helps in resin production. ok so whats the deal on using hps and mh? - Cannabis Culture Forums
Here is another link, that is not a thread in forum but an article from Cannabis Culture mag. Pot potency
The UV rays they have found increase resin production. THe fact that MH produces way more of them, should tell you that HPS will not yield as stony of buds.

If you have enough space, you can just run 3 400watt lights. You will have a much better light spread than you would with the 2 lights.
I would say put the MH in the middle and the two HPS on the outside. The more lights you get in your room, the better and more even the light coverage will be.

To be honest, I have no clue. Those were just a bunch of mixed seeds I had been saving. I pretty much got all those seeds out of herbs I picked up at the dispensary here in Cali. Not like seeded weed, but you know every once in awhile you find a seed within the bud, maybe when you break it down to roll or something. But, ya that's what seeds they were a mix of sativa's and indica's. Who knows, those plant were over 3' tall when they finished, so had to have some sativa in them ya know. Thanks tho, I appreciate the love. Peace.

your now using a waterfarm? how is it working out for you. Are you having any issues with the roots clogging the drain tube?

its seems to be workin fine. its at about 8 weeks now (i'll put up pics soon) and the buds are nice and beefy. But u have a good point about the drain hols. they are really small. i think i'll drill a few extra holes for better drainage and to prevent root rot. but everone i know doesnt really have issues. the only thing i dont like about it is that the salts build up a lot on the ring and around the rim. i have to clean it every week or 2.

Its a good idea to flush any system every 2 or 3 weeks, whether its hydro or soil. This will prevent any issues. You can even flush your soil, let it drain, then water with nutes that same day. You have now flushed and fed all in one days work.
