Choosing between two envirolite 200w and one 400w hps

[Lowryder1]

High,

I'm thinking on growing seven lowryder no.2's, couple of questions on lightning... Will be using 24 hrs for max yield.

I have two choices:
Buying first one 200w envirolite with white spectrum(for veg), using it until flowering starts, then buy another 200w envirolite with red spectrum, then combine these two until harvest.
Or, buying 400w hps, and using it through the whole grow.

I guess the good side with envirolite is it's low operating cost, proper spectrum(hps only red) and low heating, but with the hps I would have full lightning through the whole grow, but would have to pay more for electricity and consider more ventilation...

But the main question is, will I yield less with the envirolite or is 200w enough until flowering starts?

My grow room is 60cm x 120cm, 200cm tall.

Thanks!

400w. hps. , a cooltube and 1 good 6in. blower = vortex / hurricane like 450 cfm. so it's strong enough to cool lamp and vent growspace both . You'll be much happier w/ your yields .

I would take Envirolites over any other light simply because they are just as good but have the benefit of giving off virtualy no heat and lasting longer.I have used both BTW

I may have mis-spoken .
I just saw how dinky your grow area is = Cause I got High !!!! :stoned:

So you think 200w would be enough for veg stage to produce as good yield as 400w?
