that MH lamp will grow plants, but there are other choices that would be a huge improvement ... good enough to get started, and get your feet wet, though ... search these forums well, and you will find all the answers you need ... if not, then ask away! ... good luck ... :smokin:
the image reaper Reviewed by the image reaper 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
