i just started using MH for veg. def stronger branches and nodeing. I probably will not go back to Hps for veg.
also if you get a tek-5 about 3inches above your plants you will get the tightest noding you've ever seen. you just have to watch the plants everyday because they grow right into the bulbs and burn, but that also means they are growing 2inch a day. shows you how fast they grow when the lumens only travel 3 inchs
yeah i wanna see what other people are using cause i just purchased off a new friend and 600 HPS sunsystem 10 ballast, sun system air cooled hood, and a 600 watt HPS bulb for $225...the ballast is brand new from sun system, right outta da box..stoked about this lamp deal..now i can flower my urkle mother
i just wanna see if ill be ok for a while till i can afford another light system
Damn jadin your making me think I need another light now. I've been going straight from my t5 for veg to a 2K flower room. How much of a difference did you notice with the transitional lights?
med.botany I am going to get laughed off of the forum for telling you this trick but I only pass along info on something I have personally done, not just read about.
Back when I was first getting a system up and running all I had was one HPS ballast and like yours it was a 1K. A friend told he had done this so I tried it and it worked great.
You CAN run a MH bulb in a HPS ballast, you CAN NOT run a HPS bulb in a MH ballast. I ran that bulb for several months then passed it on with the ballast to a fellow Farmer here. Both are still working fine.
Believe me, don't believe me. Up to you but it can be done.
