what light is the best a sodium light or a sodium+halide light

 

[BlackTurboTeg]

sodium halide? they have those if so that cool those probally have both spectrum so u can flower and veg wiht the same light becasue a mh is just for veg and hps for flowerin

 

[DankCloset]

thats an oxymoron, i dun think theres sodium halide.

You can get a HPS conversion bulb. Its 360 watt HPS that runs on a 400 watt MH ballast, 80 dollars at the grow store, or 150 for the 940 watt hps for the 1000 watt MH ballast

Hydrofarm has the Agrosun bulb that is mh but also puts out red light for flowering.No special components needed.

If your question is "can you run both HPS and MH lights together ",the answer is yes.You can use any combination or singularly for both Vegging and Flowering with good results.Its all about Lumens and the light cycle.-usdi Agaluga

The advantage to MH during Veg is the blue spectrum o f light imitating direct summer sun. This keep all the internodes closer to together, plant stay nice and compact. HPS is better for flowering becuase of the red spectrum it emmits just like the red light of autumn. Either can be used for either part or the whole grow, but there are advantages to doing it the way mother nature does. Blue for Veggy, Red for Flowering
