Hi Herb,

I think it will work fine. You should definitley flower early.. 175 wayys is not a lot of light and you will have very little penetration.

As long as you flower early (4-8 nodes) and keep the light less than 12 inches from your plants. (ideally 4-6 inches, if you can manage the heat) you will have a nice harvest.

Please keep us posted..

Garden Knowm Reviewed by Garden Knowm on . 175w metal halide for entire grow? I am a first time grower (new card holder) and i have a 175 watt metal halide pendant lamp (actually 2 of them, but one has a bad ballast) from a previous saltwater reef tank that is now a fish only tank. My question is can I grow 3 or 4 plants with this one 175 pendant and can I use it throughout the entire cycle or do I really need a sodium vapor lamp? This will be the first of many, many questions I'm sure. Thanks! herbaltivo Rating: 5
