Can i veg with 1000w hps

The disadvantages of vegging with a HPS is heat and electricity cost. If your not bothered by either than there are no disadvantages. EvilSkuzzi , Dec 15, Original Q, Skuzzi's got it but also, Possibly plants too big for your space. Now for the reason I had to respond Gratitude , Dec 15, As they relate to light spectrums is key, as well.

Plants in general, in the closet as well as in nature, follow a curve, throughout their lives. That is, HID uses a lot of 'juice', as well as being expensive to maintain Best of all worlds, if yer the plant! Other than a cactus, perhaps SoloFlyer1 , Dec 15, Just to let you know gratitude, no your post was not pointless.

The MH has a more ideal spectrum for vegging thick plants with short internodes. I know a few growers who grow with watt HPS but they dim it to about watt. I used to use hps the whole way through but I would find at the end of harvest number 2 my bulbs output was greatly deminished. I now use MH for veg but I used to use my w hps for popping seeds and vegging. My w was kept around 3ft above the pots to germ seeds.

A 1k if using to germ or on young seedlings I would say at least 5ft above the pots. People go on and on about internode length with hps but I never used to have any issues as long as light height and temps were in check. I used to use hps the whole way through but I would find at the end of harvest number 2 my bulbs output was greatly diminished. Maintains results after multiple growth cycles, saving you money. Produces more spectral balance for increased plant response and accelerated growth.
