Hello
You can definitely use an HPS for both veg and flowering, just like you can use MH for both. However if you happen to have a ballast that is interchangeable and can take both styles it would be preferable to use MH for veg because of the spectrum and HID for flowering because of it's spectrum. But you can easily get amazing results with just 1 or the other with an entire grow. Just make sure to have a decent sized grow space and some good exhaust system.
Happy growing. ✌️

Hey, there are mixed bulbs on the market that are valid for both growth and flowering. However, the best would be MH for growth and HPS for flowering. There are also people who do everything with HPS or MH. The advantage of doing everything with MH is that having UV rays forces the plant to produce more resin, but the final weight will be lower. The best for you would be a mixed bulb.

Yes you can! The benefit to vegging under MH bulbs is helps the plants to not stretch so much in veg. The light spectrum is closer to spring. The HPS light spectrum is closer to autumn. Contrary to that you can also flower under MH and I have heard of good results from this so don't stress too much. 👊

HPS for both is fine, just be sure that the small plants aren't too close that they might get a burn..

Fastbuds Green Crack Auto time to harvestPlanning a DWC grow and researching strains. With Fastbuds Green Crack Auto, it appears that many diaries reflect a much longer seed to harvest time. I know many things affect veg/flower times (light, reservoir parameters, etc..) What can I realistically expect? TIA!Other. Other

Nute Advice - Botanicare PBP vs. KIND Full Range (Base Supplements).Thinking of changing nutes from @Shogun to @Botanicare for next run. Has anyone used the FULL PBP & FULL Kind range and could advise between them (Quality, Yield). Trying to work out the costs and if they're worth it (KIND range looks like £85/grow as opposed to £133 for PBP).Other. Other

Strain IDI lost my labels early in the grow. 6 plants, 2 of each. I've paired them and know which two are the OG Kush. I think I've labeled the Jack and Bubble Gum correctly but could have them swapped. Anyone with an expert eye able to confirm based on these photos?Week 11
