just gonna bump this bastard because i have noticed my size of buds going down. was hoping to blame it on the hps bulbs but see where hps makes for larger size. just got to blame it on something else then. am going to buy a dual lamp next time i purchase. also gonna stick that 400w hps in with my 1000MH. i took the 1K hps lamp out to try to see if it helps size being there for the first couple weeks of bloom. god this is hard for me to grow this shit!!!

ive ben using a dual arc bulb thats 60/40...hps/mh= its worked out fine...

i have been using that setup the last few grows...

this time im using the same dual arc bulb but also added a 400watt mh bulb in there and wow ,... these are the healthiest loo0king plants to date...
BUT
i also lowered my plant count and used bigger pots this time ...


they've been vegging only for like 3 weeks and they look like they been vegging for 6 weeks ...

i was also wondering if it would be better to wait to switch the 400 watt mh bulb - to a 400 watt hps for bloom...
but would it be better to wait till the plants stop strechting the 1st couple weeks of bloomv b4 i switch to the red hps bulb...
