What is the difference between metal halide, and H...
Nebula420answered grow question 6 years ago
Hi Hippieboy, MH lamp give a blueish in color (because they emit light that is mostly in the blue spectrum, this makes MH lights better suitable for the vegetative growing period, if u have MH lamp sure u can use it for vega.High pressure sodium lamp(Hps)colored yellow and red, since they are in the orange and red spectrum, Hps better for the floWering period. If u have only Hps u can use it in all stage groWing. Good luck.

With no bla bla bla .... MH is for Veg , HPS is for Bloom ! As a new grower the only difference you will notice is the color ... ! You can experiment them if you want , but as I said you won't make any difference if you have no experience

Many people use only one. MH light will give you squatter plants, frostier but less buds (yield wise). HPS is the opposite. Also, MH gives more heat and can be harder to manage because of it.

Hi there ! The difference is in the colours of each spectrums , the metal halide spectrum ( MH ) is fully loaded in blue so it is better for the early stages and the vegetative stage in general ! So you will get lowet plants in height and a more bushy shape and it will help to get a better roots system. The HID on the other hand is a red spectrum so it's better for the flowering stage , as it increase the stretch it's recommended to use it after the 1st or 2 first weeks of flowering stage , the red spectrum is better for the trichomes production ! Hope it will help you to see clearer 😁👍

Should I remove some of the dense foliage as I start LST, or wait? Other suggestions appreciated!The Durban Poison and Jack 47 are very dense, with tight nodes. I’m beginning LST this week to get more light to more of the branches, but should I prune some of the excess foliage? If so, how do I decide what to remove? Thanks in advance for your help!

??When should I do the last defoliation ??I hear a lot never to do anything in flower that would stress the plants,pistols are showing but no solid buds. I want to hear what you guys have gone through. I’m kinda worried if I do I might hurt them more than help. Thank you in advance for your time.

Defoliation in mid-late floweringCan I still be defoliating in week 5-6 of flowering? The buds seem quite leafy and a lot of the lower sites aren't getting light, I feel like if I removed some of the larger fan leaves on top it would let the full cola grow thick bud sites rather than just the tops?
