Maybe potassium silicate could work. I know it helps strengthen stems.

icemud if I did run CMH+HPS how many would u recommend for 30 plants, what ratio should I go for and what wattage of each to get best results also is it wise to run a dual spectrum HPS + CMH for veg or just the CMH and stick to the combo of HPS + CMH for flower? much appreciated if u can help...

loool nice one cuz. the lighting equipment is hard to pick up in the uk. Hortilux etc. just glad to hear this stuff from people who know their shit. prior I only thought HPS was the way to go. atleast I have options now. ima go with the CMH for veg and HPS (hortilux) for flower. good idea?? do u...

kk are they just for veg or for flower also. :reading420magazine:

kk nice one juan. Im def gonna grab a few phantoms. they seem expensive but seem to be a good investment.

Kk thanks a lot iwltfum now im good to go. I may grab a few magnetics aswell to see the difference plus itll save me a few ££. :peacetwo:

hahaha thanks mate ill keep u guys updated. For sure ill be harassing yall for info lol . im about 2 weeks from start. got most of the bits ie: intakes, coco,nutes and circulators etc. Just having trouble with the lighting equipment. so glad you fellas helped clear that up. yea its my first and...

kk thanks mate gonna have a look at the phantom now. Did the phantom digi work with the 1000w hortilux?? If not i may just use the magnetic ballasts since they seem more compatible with hortilux.

im looking to grow amnesia lemon and cookie kush. I cant wait to get started. theres just so much to learn loool can feel overwhelming :volcano-smiley:

:thanks: iwltfum sorry I see that eye hortilux and hortilux are the same thing. just me being anal loool. What digital ballast would you recommend for the hortilux bulb? I don't mind spending a bit more for better quality. Would the digi ballast you use be ok for the dual spectrum hortlilux...

Yea I thought as much. quality for slightly less quantity is a no brainer for me . Nice one for the input iwltfum. another quick question. can eye hortilux bulbs run on digital ballasts or e-ballasts? whats my best option?

thanks fellas. just looked at the hortilux duel spectrum bulb and am going to use those. I also believe a balance of colors will help them develop more during veg because of the blue spectrum. hopefully yield isn't affected too badly loool :thumb: anyway nice one for the advice coz its a...

oh. what I meant was even if the price is higher is it worth paying that much. is the quality worth the price?

Thanks juancarlos just gonna have a quick look now.

hi guys im new to the game. just a quick question, what are the best value HID lights on the market particularly HPS? Trying to do research but only LED reviews pop up. I am also seeing claims that Metal halides are better for veg and HPS for flower but aint sure wether its worth just sticking...
