*I did not take this photo. Just sharing it.
im not sure about the last 10 days,but if you have that mh in the room the whole time,it def makes a diff...IMO.so i got to reading, which always leads to work or trouble, and decided to take the glass out of my 600 watt. my room is so full that i have to have the light up pretty high anyway so there's no heat concerns. and per an old ask ed article, i'm going to switch out my HPS with an MH for the last 10 days.
it's my 3rd go with the same genetics and i'm curious to see if i'll notice a difference. i doubt it as in my experience, minor tweaks rarely enhance the high or yeild enough to keep me doing it.

"...Metal halide lamps emit more UV-B light than high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamps, so for more potent buds it is a good idea to use MH lamps the last 10 days of flowering. Air-cooled light reflectors have glass covers that absorb UV-B light. If it is feasible, remove it, so the light can shine unobstructed on the plants."
i've got a light that takes either MH or HPS so i'll switch out my hortilux with the MH and see what's what. it's the best kind of experiment. i don't have to buy anything or put much effort into it.im not sure about the last 10 days,but if you have that mh in the room the whole time,it def makes a diff...IMO.
maybe even two weeks,i see that help that trich count.
i'll definately post my results. the thought that these lovely genetics could be even better makes me drool.I'd like to get rid of my cool tube as well and go with a simple open reflector like my other tent. I have an 8" inline to handle them both, I just need to finish piping fresh air in and finish off the end of my exhaust line which will extract the air into another room of the house, which should take care of any heat issues. I also have a MH ballast and bulb but it still needs some wiring before I can use it so I'm pretty curious to hear how that works out for you especially considering to have a good baseline to gauge with.
damn!hps>mh>hps
i had wings for a long time,befor i got these hoods,realy,its nothing like an open bulb.
but with the right hoods,the right fan,ect>>>>the loss of lumen/uv-b,is made up by distance from glass to plant.
but with that,comes loss of footprint,its all a toss up,i think.
