HPS questions

Hello,

I recently purchased a 150 watt HPS light system from htgsupply. I was wondering, how safe are HPS lights? My worst fear would be for me to come back home and my house be on fire lol. Also, I am growing lowryders and I would keep the light on 24/7 or would probably do 18/6 to conserve energy. Would a 150 watt HPS light be enough to flower 4 plants? I also have a 50 watt high powered LED panel full spectrum(red and blue LEDs) that I can use as supplemental lighting. Would this be sufficient lighting for vegging and flowering?

Thanks!

they are as safe as their user is. as long as you set it up right, you should have no problems.

I would do the 18/6 to conserve energy as well.
I think you would be ok with a 150W light, the more the better though. you may get a little bit of stretchin, just keep it as close as you can get it without burning the plants, and you'll be ok.

yeh there very safe,just handle with care,especially the bulb,and keep the ballast somewhere it cant start a fire,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
