What is the difference between metal halide, and H...

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 😁👍
