I get to install my 1200w of HPS/MH soon and move on from my CFLs.

Not sure if I'm stoked or heartbroken... :)

You will be convinced once you grow a few buds that would damn near stop a .22 round. The density and overall effect from the jump in PAR will be evident in short order, you're gonna love it. I still use T5's for veggin, they allow me to better manage the plants growth over time while they wait for a spot in the flower room. If I used HID's to veg with, I don't think I would be able to contain them for up to 8 weeks before I flipped em, they would be to big for my space.
I use 2-600w HPS ( overhead) and 2-400w MH (vertical side lighting) and growing 5'+ plants is not that hard at all, just have a way to support all the growth when you fire up the ol' street lamps :twisted:

Looking forward to your go at it with the HID's,

Peace and Great Grows

awesome man you must be stoked!! What size is your flower room? I did the same exact thing your doing a while back. I got a 1k hps and a 1k Mh to replace my t5s in my veg room and start my flower room. About 2 weeks later I found myself taking everything apart and putting both 1k's in my flower room and keeping the fluro in veg. Much easier to control growth and honestly I think they maintain a healthier more lush profile. Plus, the boulders I have in my bloom room now make it clearly the rite decision! Haha...you may have only one room so my scenario might be unrelated or not practical but thot id throw in my 2 pennies! If you have 2 rooms, give the bloom all 1200!! Imo of course! Good luck buddy

No, I'm going to use all 1200w (hopefully, if heat allows) in my 4x6x7 tent. Using one HPS and one MH. I can't wait to see the results :)

I would be lying if I said I didn't miss growing outdoors... but this indoor thing is pretty fun, too.

Ah, I see nice!! Funny you say that because I was forced to run one Mh and one hps when I did the switch (lost job, no $ till harvest!!). It is still like that today, both in my 6.5x6.5 tent. The stuff under the Mh tends to show light burn if not moved around the room throughought flower cycle. It is really cool to see the color differences from one side of the room to the other, but I CANNOT WAIT to get that Mh bulb replaced w an hps. You can literally see the size difference in the buds as they grow :(..as far as heat Mh runs crazy hot in comparison. Another reason I can't wait to switch it haha! Good luck man I'm sure it's gona kick ass regardless just thot Id share my experience.

I have 2 HPS and one MH bulb in swappable ballasts. I'll be changing them around and testing things as I go (again, if heat will allow).

I may even just run the two HPS and keep my 6400k CFLs in there.

For heat sake that would be your best bet...I must say, I envy your work with the cfls. Anyone who says otherwise has a jealousy issue. I think with the skill set you bring as a gardener, the end result will be great no matter what you decide to do. After this first harvest pays off a little I'm going to build 4 8 bulb cfl hoods for my veg tent. Very impressed! Happy growing my friend

Few pic's of my latest (eldorado) from Dutchseeds, got my doubts about it being eldo, never had it before but it's grown nothing like the description and there are different strains. Only 8 weeks in out of what was supposed to be 12 weeks. Don't think I'll buy from them again. DSC01083.JPG DSC01090.JPG
