I was wondering if anyone has tried using one of those dual bulb hoods using 600 watt metal halide in one socket and 600 watt high pressure sodium in the other for the duration of the grow opposed to a single 1000 metal halide for veg and changing to 1000 watt high pressure sodium for flower and what the results were.

Thanks

just get a ceramic metal halide if you dont want to switch bulbs

Yeah i understand that ceramic is defenitly the way to go and if there was a 600 watt ceramic I would jump on it, I was just wondering if anyone has used the dual bulb hoods and if the diffrence is worth the extra cash....

Aparently no one in the forum has tried using both types of bulbs in a dual bulb hood, or dosent think that the results were worth posting. Please let me know if you have tried this and if it worth the money..

Naw, get one of the new dual arc bulbs and save yourself the hassle of two lamps in the same fixture.

People who don't understand the question shouldn't answer it.

Yes. Using both throughout the grow would be superior to using one or the other.

People that don't understand a response shouldn't post snarky responses.

A dual arc bulb WOULD be using both throughout the grow, just not in seperate lamps and the hassle of a fixture requiring two lamps and two ballasts!

That still wasn't answering the question.

Dual arc bulbs have a terrible PAR rating and are, until the technology is improved, vastly inferior to either technology individually implemented. Recommend inferior single bulb solutions when CMH bulbs are now readily available for both MH and HPS ballasts is also a tad silly imo.

I apologize for the attitude in my initial response though. It was uncalled for.
