I was thinking something similar.I would use mh and hps then throw in some UV lights. you could customize a few small led's if you really wanted to get the full spectrum dialed in. but mh hps and uv for bloom no matter what. I just sold my old sunlight supply dualy hood with the original duely ballast, it was the shit.
Take it easy
Just picked up the Ushio MH for the center fixture. 2 Plantmax HPS for the outer fixtures. Snapped a pic of my light setup today, just to show you guys what I'm working with. I'm pretty convinced at this point that the mixed-spectrum setup is the way to go.

Hey bud! have you heard of induction lighting??!
JK,Could you clarify a little more?are you saying that the white walls dont deteriorate and the reflective material does?Curious as to your thinking on this,thanks,FWWho suggested one bulb(either red or blue leaning) by itself is good? Dankworth if you change that room I see a lot more weight possible. White walls beats everything over a years time. JK

I was thinking the same thing, maybe it has something to do with how the soft material creases over time. Any creases will decrease reflectiveness and walls don't bend or crease.
Maybe I'm wrong but thats my best guess.
i'm curious what else you would change in that photo besides paint on the walls for practicality?Who suggested one bulb(either red or blue leaning) by itself is good? Dankworth if you change that room I see a lot more weight possible. White walls beats everything over a years time. JK
Id just swap in 2 MH in each row for the last 2 weeks,so hps/mh/hps/mh and if the rows are right next to each other stagger the next row.I too have been thinking about adding some mh in for the last 1-2 weeks but i am not sure how to implement this. i have 2 rows of 4 600watt hps running in a line, so if i was to add some blue would i add say 2 mh lamps and swap them about every 2 days or really look to add them as extras?
bump? still curious what was on your mind when posting this..Dankworth if you change that room I see a lot more weight possible.
I place my plants differently, position my lights differently, use a different airflow pattern,trim the insides of my plants differently,. I just mentioned this earlier because I know he likes different ideas to look at. I like to pump my plants with the least amount of stress. This is contradictory but there is a fine line you can follow.i'm curious what else you would change in that photo besides paint on the walls for practicality?
