Omega garden, 5g's USED is a good deal on one. I think they run upwards of 8k. They don't give under-leaf lighting though.

Plants are phototropic and want to grow towards a single directional light source. They are designed to photosynthesize on top of the leaf and transpire through the bottom. Under the plant putting that much heat will dry them out VERY fast and be VERY stressful. Put the second HPS OVER the plant and if you want die lighting, go with tube flouros so that the PRIMARY light is above the plant.
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . HEAVY YIELDING!! technique can it work? This may sound crazy and far fetched, you all may say this is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.However I plan on running a experiment in which I use a hps on the top and bottom of the grow room.I have hunch by placing a hps light laying face upbase of the plants(bulb facing the sky/ceiling) that the light should be able to penatrate the lower and middle branches of the plant. I wish I knew how to post pics on here so I could show you my experiment.Try to visualize 10 plants 5 on each Rating: 5
