Looking for some opinions on this.....I have 2 400 watt systems in veg, and was wondering if it would be a better option to use the HPS bulbs rather than the MH bulbs(I have both)? The HPS bulbs are 55,000 lumens for a total of 110,000, and the MH are only 38,000 lumens, for a total of 76,000. That 34,000 extra lumens is almost enough to make up for another 400 watt MH system's output. It seems like the 31% more power of the HPS would make up for it's lack in the blue spectrum?
My HPS bulbs are those with that little bit of 'extra blue', and i was wondering if anybody ever tested this situation before? I'd hate to leave those HPS bulbs sitting on the shelf, when they could be doing better than what I'm running now.
