An HPS light is part of the high-intensity discharge (HID) group of plant grow lights. If where you’ve planted gets cold, or if you want to give the final, flowering-cycle a massive boost, HPS grow lights are your best option. There are many growers, even in temperate climates, that rely on HPS lights for exceptional yields because they’ve stood the test of time.
If all you want to use is an HPS light, it’s a good idea also to give your plants a dose of natural light. Sun gives the blue/green spectrum light, which boosts plant growth in the early stages. HPS lights don’t have enough of this spectrum of light. It would also be easier to track the health of your plants during these ‘natural’ sessions, which is hard to do in the bright yellow glare of HPS lights.
If you don’t have the means to let in natural light, if you’re growing in your basement, you should combine HPS and MH for the best results. These two lamps, working together, produce a bumper crop at the lowest cost.
You’d use an MH lamp at the beginning of a plant’s life-cycle, in its early-growth phase. The emitted light falls in the blue/green spectrum, like sunlight. This makes the plant believe there’s plenty of time to develop and grow. So they put all their energy into high-growth and become resilient to diseases, grow dense and compact foliage, and develop strong roots. At the peak of this cycle, you give your plants their needed dose of HPS light. An HPS lamp fools the plant into believing that summer’s almost over. The plant goes into overdrive to produce ‘fruit’ – flowers, seed, all the factors that complete its summer cycle – as fast as possible to ensure its survival. You’re actually ‘bluffing’ the plant.
