    Can we use HPS only w/ some grow bulbs

    Can you use a HPS through the whole grow cycle with decent results? Or would it help to throw a couple of MH bulbs(not the hood fixture, just bulbs)during veg.? Don't plan growning more than 4-5 plants. Thanks,

    HPS/MH lighting "Bulb Conversion"

    Correct me if I'm wrong. From what I understand, as long as you have a digital ballast, and even though you bought a HPS system, you can buy a MH conversion bulb and it will still work in the HPS ballast. Or am I all wet behind the ears here....
