Alright guys, how about some personal opinions on this question: Should I bud my plants under a 400 watt MH light or a 400 HPS light?

For flowering I would say HPS for sure.

mh is the wrong colour spectrum hps the bestQuote:

I think it was him anyway, and he did both at the same time, with the same strain, and the MH buds where bigger and tighter then the HPS. Personaly, I think both at the same time would be best. Some people will claim HPS is is the shit, but my expirence says MH is the shit. Actualy, the sun is the shit, but that's a mute point indoors.

appreciate it guys
SanClem is right! I advise you to listen to a true Guru such as SanClem.
Metal Halide is the ONLY way to go. More USEABLE light for plant. Bigger BUDS (vegative matter) not fluffy flowers.
Like SanClem I now use my old HPS units for door stops!!!
too bad they budded like almost 8 months ago. thanks though. actually they got stoelen right before harvest so it was a big waste of time. FUCK
both hps and mh are best when they are combined, but if you want more chlorophyl in your buds with less thc and you are`nt concerned about potency, and you are growing a commercial crop for selling, i say yes to mh only grows.Quote:

I have done blind test at a few sites and mh always wins. If you want high buck for you bud and you want more bud. It comes down to the scales and $$$$ per oz or pounds.
Not on hear say or here say, Chuck a 1/4 pound in the BBQ and watch the price go way back up.
hps make good door stops and the bulbs center makes a great knife sharpner.
sanclem or oldsanclem duh lost my pass word Its a sign of age
