HPS is fine for established plants throughout the life cycle,but the clones and seedlings really need flouros,the HPS is simply to intense,even at 50" I've lost a tray of clones to HPS,so I wouldn't use it for them.

yes it will work
but u will prob save money to veg under floros...and use the most intensity for flower

Once the plant is established you can use the HPS for veg aswell. I have used HPS for veg many times and im not a big fan of the MH bulbs.

I agree w M Blaze,no need for MH,HPS does a better job.

like like using a hps for the vegatation room , the hps does every thing seeds, clones, keeping a plant not from budding, would u be able to do that and they will live throw it?

then i really dont no how else to explain it right now, wake n bak, high as shit

 

[gammaz]

hehe Oxy, I want to know why MBlaze doesnt like MH lights, but I didnt see one thing in your post about MH lights

 

[M Blaze]

I just find that the overall yield is less and the plants end up smaller under MH during veg compared to HPS. Thats just from my experience from a couple of comparisons.

 

[gammaz]

when you say the plants were smaller during veg, do you mean they seemed to have less nodes/branches/foliage, or just reduced internodal distance?

I didnt take that much notice of them to tell you the truth lol. Just the overall height, size and yield was less.
