I have a 400 watt hortilux blue mh lamp which is supposed to have a fairly good spectrum when i switched to flowering i bought a fairly cheap hps would it be better to stay with the hortilux blue or switch to the cheaper hps
here is the spectrum for the hortilux blue

I am new so i dont understand the significance of the spectrum yet any help would be appreciated. I just want the best possible results for my children.

i use blue with great results it is a half and half bulb meaning its good for vegetation and flowering its really up to you at this point to decided..do you want them just to stretch or stretch and have a thick canopy..i before using these bulbs always put my MH back up in the last two weeks it imo helps them to thicken, and now that i use blue they're for sure thicker all the way through, although more pruning will be needed imo..hope that helps!

yeah that helps I was leaning that way from what i read but I didnt know the half and half part so just to clarify for anybody else who reads this thread the hps will stretch it a mh will thicken and the hortilux blue does a good job of both correct me if im wrong on that and plus rep thanks for the quick response mamaape good growing to you:bigjoint:
