HID or CFL or Both

chiefa

we all know that some people like CFL and some people like HID but has any tried both @ the same time? What do you think the outcome would be? 1- 200 W CFL and a 400 w MH for growth then switch to HPS

Hey chiefa,

Actually I use both. I use T5 high output floros full time and intermittent (one hour on and one off and one on...) HID due to heat issues. I find that the HID helps prevent leaf loss in taller plants due to lack of light and increases bud production on lower branches. I also might point out that the HID is used for side lighting as I cannot lift the damned thing into the air (f***ed up spine). The floros make for good top lights as they can be real close to the tops (and they are easier to lift!).

Later,
