Problems..

[Starchild]

Do you think this is okay?My gal pal had started growing her plants under a hps bulb from day one.She has two super ballast systems.I told her I thought you were to start out with a mh bulb and switch at 25 days ~flowering~to a hps bulb.Since she did not do this,will her babies still do what they are suppossed to do?Or will they be messed up forever?

Peace and Love

I knew someone just used HPS bulb from start to harvest with good result.

She may end up with stretched, lanky, airy buds.
I've seen fantastic results with MH only.

perfectly ok.. amazing buds are produced just using HPS.. if you could only have one bulb, HPS is that bulb... just tell her to keep the light close.. 12inches or less.. she will need to have good air flow between her canopy and the light.. so that the light does not burn the tops of her plants.. a simple ocilating fan usually does the trick

i love you

If she has the money suggest she change her bulb to a Hortilux bulb. That will give her the proper light spectrum for vegetation growth and flower cycle in one bulb.
