F.M.I.L.Y's Grow

already using 1000w HPS from the top, would it be better to use MH or HPS to sidelight? what do you guys think about the dual arc hortillux? is it worth paying double the price of a 1000w HPS? im starting to realize most of you are outdoor guys with free sun but any help or experience is always appreciated!! thanks

edit: which ballast would you use for the dual arc? 1000w HPS, 1000w MH, or the convertible 1000w MH/HPS?

i believe its an hps ballast. i dont use them. i just use reg hps bulbs. im not forking out that much money for a bulb. i get great results without the dual but u never know unless u try it. i honestly dont have double the cash for one bulb. u can get anouther ballast and just run a 400 mh in it or two 250 watt ballasts for side lighting. digital ballasts on ebay for a 250 r relatively affordable just get a couple of them and a few 250 bulbs. bulbs are about 15 bucks for 250 watt mh bulbs. u could just hang them vertical to save from getting more hoods. plus a few 250 mh when not being used for side lighting would be nice to veg a few plants out for a few good months. u can get about a 2-3 month vveg out of a 250 but wouldnt do more than that. all of which will cost the same as just that one dual arc bulb and can be used for many other things..

Sasha: She get 10 gallons of water a day. When its over 100F she sucks down all the water you see there, oh that pic with the water is only 5 gallons so she sucks that down and I give her another 5 gallons later in the day. I know I fucked up leaving her in a 7 gallon but next year will be different. I am learning a lot about outdoor growing.

I cant complain about how healthy the outdoor ladies are especially with the heat factor. I took 6 clones off my Fire OG and I took 5 clones off Sasha.

Well I am off to work now so I will have to water again on my lunch break.

Peace

Here's one of those led grows I was telling you about. He does well and I think he could push his space even more if he wanted. Save up for next summer!
