I have never used that exact bulb. 20 years ago i did a grow from start to finish with Metal Halide. I found the buds were airy and fluffy not tight and dense. Hope that helps.

Special queen needs help!
Hi guys, me and my mates first grow. We have had to move it indoors as it's getting conspicuous and its has started to go yellow and stumped its growth. Should we still be feeding it nutrients? ( we are using 130w bulb 10 hours) thanks

Seeds in 12/12
Does keeping seedlings just the first week under a 12/12 light cycle can hurt them? I have some seeds that are not sprouting after 7 days, maybe it's because the outside temperature is too low so I decided to keep them in my growbox with my other flowering plants until they start

Light cycle
As this strain is an auto, going on 12hr of light during flowering won't do her any harm right ?

What's the advantage of running two lights? I have a HLG 600 rspec and a no name red /blue 250w led. Should I incorporate both and at what stage?

HPS 400w Vs MarsHydro TSW2000 cost
Alguém me sabe dizer o quanto menos uma luz LED gasta comparado a uma HPS ? Por exemplo, estou usando uma HPS 400w, e subiu 40€ na conta de eletricidade, se usar uma MarsHydro TSW2000, iria fazer grande diferença ? Obrigado

General question about raising lights.
Gotta question for what most of you are doing to raise your lights? Currently I've just set it static and move as needed. But I'm curious if anyone has a easier method or know of anything made to aid in the raising of the LED light fixtures ?

26 hour day cycle?
ever done a weird light cycle for photo plants? like 14 hours of light then 12 hours of darkness then keep repeating I know that this is longer than a normal 24hour day. 1. 12 hours of darkness is what makes weed start flower. Do weeds know days r 24hr? Can a 26hr day cycle work

Should I lower my light during flowering?
I'm at 24 inches away now, should I lower the light now that she's in full bloom? I went with the recommendation of Mars Hydro and burnt up 3 seedlings as a result. Sadly I only have one bean left of my Fastbuds over this crucial mistake. Running a Mars Hydro SP 250 keep at 36in.
