HPS or MH to help with trics in flower, comments please

HPS - flowering needs red spectrum light. But - the more light the better as well -

so if you have 2 complete setups / ballasts - use BOTH !

i dont, just one set up, but when i bought the mh, i thought the saleperson said i could use mh all through the grow, so i just wanted to try to do something because the chunk is not trich at all, or not that much?

They say MH is better for veg, HPS for flower.
I read MH is better for trichs, same as you.

I my experience, HPS kicks the crap out of MH for flower.
But nothing better than a hps/mh combo as mentioned before.

I have used, and am using MH through the whole grow....I use sunmaster warm bulb, which emits more red spectrum and i am happy with the results....I am however going to try and flower next grow with conversion bulb and see what happens


Peace

I do not have a switchable ballast...IF i did i would just use an HPS bulb then.....I don't its only halide so i am stuck.....happy its a HID in any case and my yields are more than rewarding and thats what it is all about right?

THC is produced in the trics to help shield the plant from UV b frequency light (270-300 nm) More UV = more THC and trics. With no UV b the maryjane produces very little THC. HPS AND MH DO NOT PRODUCE ANY UVB (they have a little but nothing noticable) Get a UVB bulb or two from a pet store, they are in the reptile isle. Good luck and you should see a change in two to three days!
