Just moving some plants or lights....not a big deal even if they were swapped. But your plants looked too good to be growing under the wrong light.

Thank you, maybe I just quirky ones? Idk

You must excuse us Momma's K

Forums can be hard work some days when trying to tease out all the juicy details of the grow !

Neat trick with the bulb safety specs to get a clear pic with the camera, sure caught me with my pants down

MH or metal halide is not the normal option for flowering & as Bonsia mentioned MH in general is for vegging... this may explain why some substandard bud growth has been brought to attention in past posts to which i believe we are more on track on solving the problem.

MH or metal halide is common for veg growth from seedling to late vegging as the colour spectrum of these bulbs support the blue wave lengths which is quite suitable for this particular growth phase, now this might be translated to kelvin it is just another measurement of light i think MH is around 5000k but has higher peak in the blues you can get cfl or T5/8 tubes with greater rating around 6500k this is good high end blue spectrum & can away get with far less wattage than MH over all, but these bulbs need to be hung a lot closer due to the inverse square law of light effect.

Yarp just some minor waffle but in essence essential to the good grower

HPS is used for flowering with most of these types of bulbs being around 2100k this is more red spectrum of light blending with orange/yellow... lots of charts out there to take a gander at, but ye this promotes better flowering in the long run.

That is basic light spectrum stuff for growing bud.


Now 750w of MH for 10x12 aprox don't really sounds like it is cutting the ice a great deal but how ever you have some thing good going with conditions & the plants grown.

In real practise some may use 4 to 6 x 600w hps for that space with 2 dozen plants etc so ye you have lots to work with plus more bulbs/wattage the greater the heat meaning better ventilation.

On a side note - some minor details about bulb size/wattage to hanging distance & aprox light foot print/area of coverage to do some home work on.



Happy growing

HPS SODIUM THATS WHAT THEY ARE!!!! I had to ask....oops. But I loose on the bonus spectrum... sigh* Whats the answer
