hps lighting

when using 150w hps for both veg and flower r there different type of hps bulbs besides the wattage?

Nope.. Not really.. You will be fine, though. I have vegged under both types HPS and MH with good success.

Thanks. bot a 150w hps grow light for both and then i thot i read where it says to make sure u have a dual spectrum bulb. ? There always sumthn.

MH for Veg. HPS for flower. HPS for both. MH for both. Dual Spectrum for both. Dual Spectrum for flowering... yata .... yata....

They all work well. All these arguments are about good, better, best. Ignore them all. An HPS lamp will grow dope. I once got a pound from my 600W HPS veg & flower. That would be about 4oz from your 150W lamp. It's not always that good but I can bank on getting 8oz. HID lamps make dope. If you want to improve your setup add more wattage. Some CFLs might be a cheap way to go.

A word of caution: HPS is HPS but Metal Halide comes in different spectra/spectrums and the ones they sell for lighting are not good for growing. You need 6500K color temp. Like wise with CFL.

Get a 150w ceramic mh. Its an hps and mh in one bulb and burns cooler. Can veg n flower with same bulb. I just got a 330w phillips and love it.. my temps dropped 5 degrees compared to reg mh.

Like said above hps n mh can be used for both. At our last harvest we got 2 pounds per 1000w hps veg n flower of sour diesel (veg room wasn't set up yet). It was great quality also, clubs paid 3k a pound

Actually i know for a fact there's different types of bulbs..both hps and mh. .Dif spectrum and shit within each type

Thanks and do have some cfls.
