You definitely can flower with a MH much the same as you can veg with a HPS. Its the photoperiodic nature of cannabis that triggers flowering, not a specific spectrum of light. Some of the Ol' Timers on here will argue that although flowering with a MH may take longer, it produces a much better quality smoke.

the MH spectrum will acualy slowly kill ur plant in flowering, its recommended that u throw a MH on ur plant in the last 2 weeeks of flowering because of this, wat it will do is slowly kill ue plant and to defend its self from the HARMFUL rays it will protect itsself by building resin, aka THC. but NO u SHOULD NOT flower with a MH, im pretty sure of that dood.:blsmoke:

Just for the sake of killing misinformation, here is a quote from ED Rosenthal, if your not sure who he is use Google.

"Metal halide (MH) lamps can be used for flowering, but there are two problems that they have when compared with high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamps. The first is that they don't emit as much total light. HPS lamps emit more than 20% more light, so MH lamps are not as intense when covering the same area. Second, they do not emit as much orange and red light as HPS lamps. These spectrums seem to promote flowering.
However, MH lamps do have several advantages over HPS. First, they are less expensive to purchase. Second, the light does not have a really weird telltale
spectrum. It looks white, not pink or amber.
Third, the lamps emit more UVB light than HPS lamps, although still in very small amounts. The amount of UVB light plants receive is directly related to the quality of the buds. The more UVB, the higher the quality.
Buds grown under MH light will not be as big as buds grown using HPS lighting. However their quality will be as good or better."

Do I need a ballast to run one of these low watt HPS bulbs? or a mogul will work?
If no than what is the biggest wattage bulb i can run without a ballast?
