Indoor Mh vrs hps lamp. For aouto flowers...

[fro77]

ok check it out folks
IM NOT new to growing just new to this website.
looked around on this web site and there is lots more to talk about with you guys cense its almost all auto growers. very cool.:hot:

i got some autos that are about 30 days from seed about 8 inches tall very comen for autos for there age.

as you know they just showed sex cut the males ext. but there right were there still growing and starting to bloom the real question is do they do best in mh lamp or hps.

i just swithced to hps from mh yesterday. but i starting to think about it and i think they would grow taller and bigger if i give them the metal halid for a few more days.


so do you think a mh or a hps would be better.

and do you think it would do good to maybe give them 2 days mh then 2 days hps. for a week or to untel they start fully budding.???

i got a 600watt digital balest with a cool tube with. fox farm ocoan forrest x roots organic soil. with entire line of fox farm nutes.
2 lowriders
2 sweetcheese
2 hemalaya blue deisel
2 jackx47

would really like some good feedback thanks.

If there starting to bloom I would change to hps,this gives them the red spectrom they need during flowering

Autos can be grown start to finish under HPS, especially if your bulb has an expanded blue range. But since you already have the MH, I'd run it from the start of the grow till veg growth stops, usually around week 5-6, then switch to HPS.

I usually run MH until the the first signs of flowering and then switch to my HPS for the remainder.

Peace.

I'm with Muddy on this one, week 5-6 for me when the stretch slows.
