Quick, someone find a 100w for LGP, this can't be right!!

Edit, in fact LGP, as a founding member, I think since you are in the middle of the 400 and 600 that we can let it slide. lol.

my four girls have spent 2 weeks under a 250 metal halide, now there u8nder a 250 metal halide and 250 HPS. this will change 2* 250w HPS. i thought that the hetal halide has the blue septrum which is best for vegging. so wouldnt adding one at the end reduce yeild and revert it bk to veg.

this might b bollocks but its my interpretation

Yeah, that's one side of the story, and probably the reason I have not done it yet.
The other side would be more aroma, more trich production an overall dankier product.
I think the best would be both, but I'm a hobbyist, and money is tight...

shove the plant in a cupbord that has complete darkness for a couple of days that will increase resin production

i think its more to do with the cynicist view that you dont get anything for nothing
But I am all up for some fun and games. Need to go out and buy a weeding present but will try and come up with something. What you thinking, a 600 club comp?

Hey yall... about the MH, HPS stuff. I have experience and opinions. First off... MH will NEVER turn your plants back to veg... that has to do with the light timing... not wavelength. 12 hours of darkness a night tells them to flower no matter what light. Making nights shorter will bring them back to veg.

I think switching to MH late in flowering is too late to pack on the trichs. The best time to have MH in flowering (in my opinion) is around week 3-4. This is when I have noticed the most trichs packing on the girls and the MH will make more of them show up (from what I and others on the site have observed). However if you only give them MH during this time, you will for sure be giving up weight.

I think the best thing (like dst mentioned) is a mix of MH and HPS. You still get the weight and heft from the HPS, but you get extra sticky from the MH.

I use a 400w HPS and 250w MH. Seems to be a really good mix. The plants on the HPS side were bigger... the ones on the MH side were stickier and tastier... the ones in the middle seemed just about right. I've read also that 1:2 - MH:HPS is a good ratio. Not giving up too much weight, but still getting the trichs.

If you aren't worried about yeild at all... I would flower the whole time with MH. Have some sweet sweet buds.

Also, from what I know... HPS during veg makes the plants stretch more than using MH during veg.
