Im wondering are these HID dual spectrum lights good? I am getting 2 400w lights that can have MH or HPS but the guy said they have dual spectrum bulbs that can be used in veg and flowering. Is this correct or am i better off getting an HPS for flowering and an MH for flowering.

i've been having trouble finding a timer for my 400 w hps/mh light and bought an outdoor timer that has different settings: 2 hour, 4 hour, 6, 8 and a dusk ot dawn setting. i need 12/12 for now. can someone explain how this outdoor timer works. is there a light sensor that when the sun comes up the appliance will go on? maybe you'd need more information, i'll try to take a pic and post it. i'm going away for a couple of days so i won't be able to turn it on and off. does anyone know where one can buy a heavy duty timer (compatible with the three pronged plug of the light). i tried to put an adapter on a regular appliance timer, and it didn't work. thanks

Not really enough detail.. There are a ton of enhanced spectrum bulbs out there.. Probably cost more than they benefit, but they can't hurt.. Generally though they are pretty close to standard bulbs for that ballast type.. The dual arc bulbs are a different story.. They are broad spectrum in a non-chincy way.. I've never used them, but the dual tech seems to come at an efficiency cost from specs I've seen..
Don't steal it...go buy one. I bet you wouldn't like it if I stole you stuff... Can't believe people sometimes...

Nah let him.. Then when he gets busted he'll pay 100 fold.. Whether he gets busted stealing lights and that leads them to his grow op, or if he gets busted for growing outright and they recover stolen property on the premises thats being used for criminal purposes.. Its a prosecutor's wet dream..

Call the electrical/lighting places in the phone-book, and ask if they sell small street light type lights..

I have more faith that your grammar will improve than I do in the fact that current LED technology will grow dope well..
Why should we take lighting advice from somebody who thinks putting off harvest is beneficial??

Umm, you do realize they make T5HO lamps that do the exact same thing, in pure red and pure blue spectrums, right? They're called Primary Color T5HO.YO STONERSZ...ITS MR PIFF YA DIG AND YALL SHOULD NO IF U DONT ABOUT THE NEWEST TECHNOLOGY IN LIGHTING!!

Take the same idea behind LED, apply to T5HO technology, adios LED.

Go to you local Lowes/Home Depot and look at the new T5 florecent strip lights. They are cheap and will work fine for one plant.

Ive got a question. I went to home depot, and found they carry 400w metal halyde and high pressure sodium bulbs,just like the ones in my closet for around $22.00. my question is ,are the bulbs in home depot the same bulb as the ones in my local hydro store.I only ask because of the obvious price difference.
if they are the same why pay 60.00 for a hps bulb when i can get the same bulb from home depot for 1/3 the price

They're 99% the same.. With limited funds it would be MUCH better to apply the extra $38 to other things..
