I am using two hoods, would running a MH and HPS side by side work out alright for my ten plants rather then buying two of each kind; just run both throughout their entire growth cycle?

i say do it, the mixed spectrum from the mh and hps will be good for the plants..

Why not buy a bulb of each? That's less than $100

My only concern was that one spectrum wouldn't reach over all of the plants at once, in a 4x6 tent. Half of my plants only getting HPS spectrum for the most part, and the other half only getting MH spectrum.
