MH Conversion vs. Eye Hortilux Bulb Question.

[katacus]

Greetings

The set up:

Im presently running my first grow room. 4x5x8 I have two 400 watt hps light configuration along with two F32 T8 4' full spectrum bulbs. Mylar on walls and ceiling. 6" passive intake on floor, 4" dayton 465 cfm blower venting hps lights directly. Temps range from; 83F degrees, 58% RH - Lights on, 70F degrees, 70% RH - Light off. Soil PH 6.5. 12 bagseed plants in 18/24 light cycle for about two weeks. Most Plants are about 8" - 12".

To the Question at hand

Which bulb would be better for the vegetation cycle: 400 watt MH Conversion or Eye Hortilux Bulb? I like the idea of running the hortilux. I won't have to change bulbs. But I want what is best for the little ones

So that's my set up and my question to boot Your suggestions and advise would be most appreciative

Katacus,

Sorry dude, but I'm contribuiting more questions...
That 18/24 cycle... is it for the seedlings (less than 5 leaf sets - I think)? Is it for the veg growth? Does it work out good? More or less? Interesting...

Thanks man.

I'm in vegetation for the last couple of weeks. The lights were on 24 hrs (just the T8's, the HPS was off) when seeding. The HPS was turned on about three weeks ago. I have one 400 watt hps with a hortilux and one with a standard hps bulb. (all purchased used off Ebay)
