"Flowers" are NOT what you are trying to grow, BUDS are! Flowers are NOT buds! Buds are VEGATIVE growth.
THC amount is product of genetics, not the type of light used.
Howdy MajorBuds,

I would like to believe sanclem,because all I have at this time,is a 1kwatt mh. It seems that I should add some hps during flowering..the question I have-is how many watts of hps,would make a difference..when run side by side with a 1kwatt mh ?

Have a good one...
Torog Reviewed by Torog on . HPS VS. MH Hello, thought i would start a new thread with a question? Is (MH) absolutely necessary for flowering? :rolleyes: I read that HPS will do the same as (MH) And :eek: if i purchased a MH bulb at the depot and put it in the hps ballast will it work? I don't want to buy it if it doesn't work, or will i have to buy the ballast "just" for MH. Thanks for any advice from anyone. :o Rating: 5
