Why do some people go with 600 watt lamps and other go with 1000 watts. Will 1000 Watts make the plant grow faster? Also, Is HPS the best way to go and if so Why. Thanks guys.

good question there danny good thinking

what man? are you going to buy a 600 or 100W HPS posibly?
The only reason I guess that people who have the money to buy a 1000W would buy a 600W is heat... but if you could buy a 1000W you should spend the extra 250 and get a good aircooled hood...
so why indeed?
HPS is the best way to go while flowering because it mimics the sun during late summer. aparently magicaly the sun rays are more of twords the red spectrum, and HPS are more towards the red. while MH are more twords the blue...

the January issue of high times has a great in depth artical about light spectrums, how the plant uses different spectrums, and why certain lights are best for different times.

tckfui
so if i go with 1000 watts. hps is used for folwering but what about vegging. Do i use an hps bulb for that as well?

if money isnt an object you should buy a digital switchibal ballast, and you would use a HPS bulb for flowering and a MH bulb for veg... unless you want a seperat veg room, which you should want to have this way theres always somthing flowering
