I am in a pickle and I need some advice on what to choose.
I have been growing 4 plants right now. They have been under a 600W HPS in a cooltube reflector for 1 month under 18/6 light cycle. I have just been given a 1k watt MH with reflector. I am going to be flowering within the next week or two so I don't know what I should do.
Option 1: Take the 1k Watt MH and put it in the cooltube and flower it out with the 1k watt MH. I will not be able to use both lights as my box will get way to hot. The temps with the 600W alone are perfect. I have not tested the temps with the 1k watt. I am assuming if I put the 1k watt in the cooltube, the temps will be stable still. Since I only have 1 cooltube I cannot have both lights in there. It is 1 or the other.
Option 2: Keep them under the 600W HPS and flower them out using only that and set aside the 1k watt MH until I construct a new room/area to put the 1k watt to use.
So my question is: Is this 1k Watt MH going to give me better results (yield and potency) than a 600W HPS? I know the MH is blue spectrum for veg and HPS is red/orange for flower so I am not sure which will give me better results. Should I just leave them under teh 600W or flower them under the MH?
Also I am going to be doing a scrog. My are is 4x4x5. My scrog is going to be about 2 ft give or take a few inches and the scrog to be 4 ft long by 4 ft wide.
