I'm looking at a hps/mh combo ballast and wondering if it is as good as a dedicated hps or mh ballast? Is it just some marketing ploy where they give you a mh bulb that can run in an hps ballast or is it comparable to having both ballasts and it just works with whichever bulb you use?
Basically do I get the full benefit/power when using a mh bulb and then when I swap it out for flower I'm getting the full benefit of the hps?
Also I'm allowed 4 plants in my state, I grew outdoor last year but my entire property is covered in massive trees, and while the sun was overhead during summer and my plants got huge, in August the sun lowered in the sky and was blocked by the trees, only getting 2 hours of direct sunlight, and it only formed little buds, so I'm switching to indoor.
My plan is 4x 50gal trash cans with 4 plants and a vertical 1000w dropped in the center. It's in a large garage 12'-16' ceiling, plenty of head room. If I do a horizontal light I would need one for each plant wouldn't I, and 4 of them would be like $240/mo in electricity? I'm leaning more towards vertical.
