View attachment 13205891 hps , 1 mh , would this be better than two hps in there for flower ? i have read that the blue spectrum while in flower gives you more resin production, that is what i have read anyways, i dont know

I havent personally doen this myself. i have heard of people supposedly getting better results this way. But, The best way to know is by trying. Mine as well run a full line through there and take note of nutes, growth, and other aspects to compare. Then grow one set traditionally. Veg under MH, Flower under HPS. Then compare your stats. Really it's the only way for YOU to be sure of what you are doing.
 
I'm a big fan of covering my bases spectrum-wise.
After trying a few different combinations my best results have seem to
veg MH, and flower HPs... but using T5s during both stages for supplemental
lighting. During veg i keep the t5s above the plants, and after a few weeks into
flower i move them bellow the canopy (facing up).
Results = resin a plenty

You could try using a hortilux bulb instead of just the hps. Hortilux is more on the blue spec than the regular hps bulbs, I have had good outcomes with using them I have even used them on a complete grow before with good results give it a try.
