I have a Mh conversion bulb I mostly used for vegging.
Last time around I did not replace it with a Hps until 30 days into flower. What was evident was the lack of strech, and generally, better looking plants.
I have been looking around and to me it seems that a lot of yanks use the Mh all the way through flowering. Europeans dont. Why is that ?
Is there difference in yield or quality and how much does the better PAR spectrum in a Mh outweigh the lumens in a HPS.
Another thing puzzling my mind is whether I would benefit more than the watts spend if I gave my darlings maybe 4-6 hours of supplmental HPS/Mh.
Like 30 days with 12 hours Mh and 4 hours of supplemntal HPS and then switch to 30 days 12h HPS/4 hours Mh.
Anybody done any experiments with "light boost hours" anyway. I tried it out and it seemed my buds really got much more compact and excellent yield.
I figured that you get rewarded for the amount of watts spent, in weight but it seemed like i got more than i put in. I was thinking a bit like it emulated a normal day with more intense sunlight at the peak of the day.
Any comments ?
