what kind of light?

[shortman1124]

I have about five plants that I'm about to start flowering I wanted some info on which lights to use. I have 2 400 watt mh and a 400 hps. I also have a conversion bulb for the mh. Should I use the hps and the conversion bulb with the mh? Or should I use a regular mh bulb and the hps?

two HPS and a MH bulb would kick ass on five plants....:thumbsup:

I only have room for two lights so would I be better off with two hps or one mh and one hps?

Everything I've read suggests that the bluer spectrum of MH is better for vegetative growth and the redder spectrum of HPS is better for flowering. By that I'd say flower with the two HPS.

A lot of this is covered here: http://boards.cannabis.com/indoor-lighting/140735-answers-about-cfl-hps-how-much-light.html

I have read that before I was just asking because I read somewhere a couple weeks ago that using a mh during flowering would give u more potent buds but not as dense. So I figure a mh and a hps would give you the best of both worlds. I guess not though I will be going with 2 400 hps in a 4 x 2 area that I have sectioned off in my laundry room
