I am convinced...HUGE advocate of flowering with HPS and MH now! (with pics)

Just figured I would confirm to anyone out there contemplating using MH in flowering. While I am still undecided about using MH solely while flowering I am a HUGE advocate of using it in addition to HPS for density, increased resin and trichome production.

I grew a crop of White Widow with only HPS and recently am in the middle of a second crop with HPS and MH. All I can say is WOW,this crop is my best by far. The pics below are only of four plants and only in WEEK5!!!

Variables that DID NOT CHANGE:

-Nutrients (Advanced Nutrients Bloom A and B, General Hydroponics Sweet, Humboldt County's Own Crystal Burst, Atami Bloombastic, Technaflora Thrive Alive B-1 Red, Mad FarmerMother of All Blooms).
-Water pH 6.2-6.3
-Environment 76 degrees
-Sealed glass hoods
-10 gallon pots with Pro-Mix HP soil
-3000 watts of total light

Variables that DID CHANGE:
- changed out 1- 1000w HPS bulb (placed in center of room with HPS bulbs on either side) for 1000watt MH

looks good. that coke zero will kill ya

I too have heard that using a mixture of both is also beneficial! Great job man they look huuuuuge!

Gnar Kolas, PM me a puff when you harvest lol

Dude im pretty sure if you added another 1000 watt even if it was hps would obviously make verything better. Its the sheer amount of light no necesarily the spectrum. Just my opinion.

I agree although to an extent. I'm sure using both spectrums will help a bit but a fair comparison would be a 1000w HPS grow vs another with 500w of HPS and 500w of MH.

Very nice.. use 2 MH On the outters and an HPS in the middle. Works fucking great.

Day 42 of flowering..

Nice grow there theguy! I'll bet it stinks in there (lol). That looks like a huge grow room. Thanks for sharing. Peace...

sorry should have worded that differently....I always had 3000 watts... all from HPS. This time I still had 3000 watts but 1000 watts from MH
