@DapperDon do you really think these de hps lamps are full spectrum at 2100k ?would mixing those with a 6500k de not be better for plants say at a 2 to 1 ratio 2 hps to 1 mh? Because that was my plan for my next build
The closer you can get to a balanced full spectrum the better. I actually have some Solis Tek 1000 ballasts with 8" Raptor hoods with Solos Tek Bulbs as well as Horti's. Swapping out bulbs for this grow stage or that was not so much a pain in the ass as it was costly to have multiple bulbs for each phase. Hey, what can I say? I bought into the marketing as it seemed sound during the time. But the very first run I did with Gavita changed the way I look at lighting. Nothing I have ever done up until then gave me the snow white granite hard buds that only a full spectrum can do. Long story short, you can change the spectrum around to whatever suits you, but for consistency and quality I will only use a full spectrum bulb that is recommended by the manufacturer.
