This is the grow lamp I prefer for promoting good even growth. Sunmaster Warm Deluxe 1000 watt metal halide grow lamp. Horizontal SM.1000W.H37.WDX operates on a metal halide ballast for a 1000 watt lamp. I like the warm deluxe because the wavelength spectrum is more oriented towards plant growth. Light is on 16 hours a day, comes on at 6am and goes off at 10pm. About 10 minutes before the light goes off, I place hot water containers around the outside of the plants 7 gallon containers and then cover up with visqueen for the night. In the morning, 10 minutes after light comes on I remove the visqueen. I don't like to use a heat lamp at night since it causes the plants to become leggy with that kind of light over it. Notice the stury structure of these young plants, they have not seen any natural sunlight in three days.
