Harvest Time and MH Question
HI, i plan to harvest next week and i read somewhere that when i cut my plants i am suppose to hang them upside down. But i don't know for how long.
Can someone tell me the best productive procedure. Thanks
Next the MH question. Since i am such a cheap bastard i have purchased a 175 MH light (ideal for my setup) and i have a HPS bulb. When it is time to flower can i put the HPS bulb in the MH light fixture. Bulb HPS 150 watts. I'm trying to not have to get a separate Hps light system. Hope this is possible.
Thanks for the advice

Howdy genuinestoner,
Yup..you do need to hang the plants upside down,probably for a week to 10 days,depending on how the conditions are in the place you dry them at,you want a moderate,even drying out process..if you go to overgrow.com and read the faq's on drying and curing,it will explain much better than I .
You cannot mix different types of bulbs,they need different types of ballasts to work properly..and there's no telling if it will explode ,catch on fire,or just not work. There are switchable ballasts available and bulbs that contain both properties of the mh and hps.
Have a good one ! :D

Your MH ballast does not have the required ignator to make the HPS light up. You can purchase a conversion bulb that work with your ballast. http://www.discount-hydro.com/lightbulbs.asp I think it cost 75.00.
Peace

Just a note on MH and HPS.
MH equals more thrichomes and less yield.
HPS equals more yield and less thrichomes.
