metal halide for flower?

[loylty gets u nothing]

hey guys

well title captures me ??

i was thinking of trying some M/H for bloom

i think my yield will be lower

i think the halide has less lumens

buit does it affect potency flowering from m/h?

sorry gotta fly now

ill ask more later

just a lil opener to see wat the thoughts are?

take care and stay safe

This is incredible, I've been wondering this exact thing the last few weeks, and have been very close to asking this myself.

 

I want to grow in a room that will inevitably throw some light outside, and would appreciate it, seeing as it is a second story room in a busy street, if it wasn't yellow light...you know?

 

A bloke I knew in Canada who grew the most fuckin amazing crops, only ever used MH. He grew shit loads, supplied a compassionate club and all. Well he along with others. He bred some of the best strains I grew, and was generally an all round great grower who knew what he was on about, and he simply swore by MH for flower.

 

But just the same Mullaway, why do u use it only when it's hot? Do they run cooler or something? I've only ever owned a couple MHs and they were both just 400 watt. Dont know where either one is these days, so I have no experience witht hem to speak of.

 

thanks

rob

 

PS. This bloke in Canada I refer to said using MH for flower to always use high watts of course. Like 1K lights. he reckoned outright lumens was the biggest point, rather than what he considered minor light spectrum differnces in modern lights. this isn't my word mind you, so please don't anyone attack me, I'm just adding what I've been told.

before HPS kits came out.. everything was done under MH... youll get decent yields.. but the heads wonts fill out as much as they do under HPS..

 

if theres no other option then they do just fine... a grow under a 1000watter with MH will yield some where around 70-80% less than with HPS..
