and the good thing is, that since they dont affect your electricity bill, you can veg for much longer vegging periods (2 months)

definatly train or top your plants for an even cannopy, since the 250W doesnt have penetrating power. But in the range of 6"-7" away from the plants it has the output (lumen wise) of a 400W 12" away from the plants

personally i use a 250 with a digi-ballast and a SonT plus bulb (more blue spectrum than other HPS's). They dont make dual-spec 250's.


Yeah using a T5 for veggin is great. Its also works great for flowering. All of my plants seem to love it..i have a couple of threads up. Check em out..I'm gonna veg them for another month and take some clones of all my plants. But I think that with the Mango clones I wanna make one of the clones a mother cause i wanna keep that strain. Then I'm gonna build a 7 ft light stand for the 250 watt HPS for the last weeks of the flowering cycle to get denser buds.
