HPS LIGHT FOR VEGGING????

[Suspectelite]

yo, MV bulbs are not useless, they can be introduced, midway through flowering as a good source of UV light, I may be new, but I do have knowledge to offer if you want it or not is up to you.
Peace.

i dont know if anyone has said this but he has way to few lumens. i grew a crop with 250 watt lights one mh for the veg and one hps for the flowering and the flowers were way too fluffy. I recommend he takes the hps light back and invest in some real grow equipment so he is happy with the results. thats just me.

well ive dessided to take out the hps light i am only using st8 cool white fluro's i added 6 100 watt 2600 lumens each that should be enough for my setup im not growing to many but enough!

when flowering does come up im gonna buy an additional 200 watt hps light added with my 50 watt hps and gonna add 4 100 watt warm kalvin bulbs and i think my grow room is now complete we just added a 4 inch fan with duck blowing all heat out with fan blowing freash air in always 79 80 and at night 69 70 so everythings all good for now

trust me PSTEVE mh and hps lights are real grow equipment i could argue the point but no worth it thanx for everybody's help on this so far!!!

Now you're making some sense. (except when you say 'warm kalvin'. The word is Kelvin, and what you want are 'warm white', or low kelvin rated bulbs.)

Of course they are. When did I say they weren't?
I was questioning romdog11's confusing and incorrect post which wrongly stated that you should return the HPS in favor of 'real grow equipment'.

i say you buy a 400 watt hps no less but that is just me. on jorge cervantes's grow guide dvd he recommends a 400 or 600 watt light and i agree cause ive tried lower. sorry if i was wrong or incorrect but all i was saying was get a brighter light, more light is always better.

romdog11 all that stuff you say i also true!!! but if your only using a 32 gallon rubbermaid grow you cant just put 400 watts of hps in there your plants will fry like an egg if i had more space i would go for the gusto and get a 1000 watter but lovin the rubbermaid grows for now snd when your reading a grow guide its most likely
coming from a commercail grower just like trying to use mv bulbs just way to hot you just cant but all in all you make sence not with the grow equipment butt the hps 400 - 600 you do!!!!

sorry steve i ment rem dog and yes your also right about the "kelvin bulbs" or simply warm white thank you p steve

i should start a new thread but im a just continue on this thread with pics

you can use a 400 in a small space like that, all you have to do is overkill the exhaust.
just a thought!
