    Default Hps an led

    Why is it that i dont see alot of growers with hps an led

    Would it not be better with both as i wanted to add a 265w qb with a 250-400w hps in my 4x4 tent

    Just wanted to see what people think on the idea an if there is any problems with doing it like this

    No problem at all with doing that and what I would like to eventually be doing

    I know BB uses both too with fantastic results!

    I left hps to save on electricity and added what led’s used to lack in hps so in my eyes it’s best of both world but more efficient and a far better spectrum overall and less space taken in the tent.

    I'm thinking of doing this. I have this bulb but a 400w, is that ok for vegging 4 autos from seedlings til they flower then use my 150w full spec led alone or switch bulb to hps flower + Led and use both?

    Iv started a few under 400w hps full spectrum fella with no problem just make sure you dont have the light too close to start with then it should be fine but using them both together is all new to me lol

    Cool, probably have a look at putting it in today then. Led love mag so watch out for that, I had plant magic organic mag, use it a few times throughout grow and it seems to do ok, most plants had no mag issue this time round. Will be a learning curve for ya though regards how much power to use and height, good luck. Any height recommendation for the hps/halide bulbs for the different stages?
