Hippy, not trying to start an argument, but saying to use H.P.S. is as good as anthing else for veg is not true. WIll it work ? Yes, it will. Is it optimal ? No, its not, and far from it. Its the wrong spectrum that your plants need and use during the vegatative stage.

First of all its a known fact more "bluelight" will produce more females, along with lower temps, etc etc etc. Hence folks use M.H. or cool (6500K) flouros to veg with. Also, H.P.S. will cause the plants to stretch, not bush out. Again, not optimal.

Folks wanting to learn might as well learn the right way, then if they choose to experiment from there, so be it. You can verify what I typed above in any cannibas book you can get your hands on, by the way.

Sorry, but this is simply NOT true.

Except that 6500k bulbs are 'daylight' not 'cool white' (cool white are generally around 5000K)

The HPS will stretch the plants and make them grow fast and tall , Metal Halide will make them grow slower and bushier.

If you can afford to buy 2 sets of light to veg and to bloom do it , if not just get the HPS and work with it , because it will bud better than Metal halide.

I said "cool 6500K", NOT Cool White 6500K. Tryin to split hairs with me or what ?


Color temperature is a quantitative measure. The higher the number in kelvin, the â??coolerâ?�, i.e., bluer, the shade.

Cool White 4000 kelvin
Daylight >5000 Kelvin

Therefore 6500 Kelvin is "cool/blue".

Tryin to bust my fucking nuts or what, PS ? Stinkyattic called them "cool" also and I noticed you didnt bust her ass. Am I just special or what ?

Don't get your undies in a bundle just because I clarified a detail in your post. Of course daylight bulbs are 'cooler' than 'cool white' bulbs.
I go by what's on the bulb's packaging.
If you go to a store and ask for a 'cool white' bulb, they will give you something around 4000-5000k.
If you want the 6000+K bulbs, you want 'daylight' bulbs.

No nut, ass, or hair busting intended.
