You can use an HPS all throughout the grow...HOWEVER....studies have proven that too much red spectrum also promotes males and hermies.

I want to see these studies. Studies have proven that saying studies have proven it makes it more believable.

Homegrownboy, thanks for the reference. It makes sense about the spectrum thing. Ive been debating whether or not to guy buy a bulb for veg, use my T5, or stick with an HPS. But it makes sense that plants expect certain types of light at their different stages. I think ill invest the 100 bucks and pick up a 600w MH.

Your welcome, I'm glad I helped.
T5's are great for veg, assuming you don't have a large grow, invest the money in some good nutes, and soil if you don't have already, organic is best. Since you have the HPS just switch to that when you flower.

Not that I can check old copies of High Times, I still don't believe hps bulbs cause a higher percentage of males and hermies.

June of this year...it's not old.
I don't care what you believe..i NEVER put bad info up here...i only put what i know and have read from expert's.
I think you might be getting the wrong idea...once the plant reaches it's flowering stage HPS is the way to go...it's beofre flowering that it matters on the spectrum.

Calm yourself, Future Boy. I should hope misdirected anger would be a thing of the past for the people of tomorrow!

I don't have a problem if someone questions me once...but 3 or 4 times is a little ridiculous, even childish.
