Sounds like a lot of work.
i have a dual ballast
what type of results would i get if i changed the bulb every day.
so one 12hr period with mh then 12hr dark then 12hr hps
anybody tried this yet?
Sounds like a lot of work.
I have a note from my Doctor
not really, just change the bulb thats all takes 1 min
I have never seen this done before.. I am very interested in seeing the results of a side by side test.. If you want to try it without a control, I would be willing to see the results... I mean I think it would be kinda stressful, but then again, I have never seen this done, or know of anyone who has done it.. Go for it, if you can manage it.
I think it would probably be good, but I also thing after a month of this routine, it's gonna get old quick. I think your better off running a dual spectrum bulb or both lamps together. I know it bijoux takes a minute to swap lamos, but you gotta turn them off for 20 minutes to cool, and you have to be around to do it every day at the same time. You will also lose light time during the cool down period.
I have a note from my Doctor
from what ive heard hps will give bigger buds while mh will give more potent buds
so if i get 2.5 oz per plant on hps and 1 oz of potent bud per plant with mh, i should get around 1.7 oz of potent bud per plant i think? anybody have any info on this ?
forgot to say, my lights are not on timers i do it by hand, and changing of the bulb would be done just before i turn on lights so no cool down period, as it would be a full 12hr of each bulb for each cycle
not worried about getting old part, as my life is nearly a 24hr routine, work everyday, up at 5:30 every day

So run both I run a 400 watt mh with a 250 hps from start to finish with good results. Why complicate a simple grow? And running a grow without a timer is a recipe for disaster or a least a hermi .

i only have one ballast a dual one, no room to run 2 lights in their or i would do, just wondering if its worth trying or better to stick with one bulb
and its not complicated, like i said takes 1 min to change the bulb, considering i spend 5 or 10 mins a day checking them anyway
It sounds good now, just liking not using a timer. When I did my first grow I figured I didn't need a timer and it gets old having to be there at a certain time everyday. You never know what might come up.
