One is for flowering and one is for vegging, you will need different light proof areas for the grow op or use them one at a time. I dont see the advantage in using both at the same time in the same area.

that sounds fine just keep the lights high and slowly move them down as they grow for a few weeks into vegging then they should be fine at one height after that. only thing i would worry about is the heat output but that can be taken care of easily . i say go for it good luck dude.

here you go bro should help you see the advantage of using dual light spectrums...

The benefits of Metal Halide and High Pressure Sodium together: vigorous growth, accelerated development, and hearty flowering!

I also plan on using a 400 MH conversion bulb and a 400 hps during veg. Of course ill switch the MH to another HPS during flowering. Also isnt two 400 watt or say 600 watt lights more efficient than one 1000 watt?
