 o
HPS for hot peppers

Posted by organic_julian (My Page) on

Hey! I just ordered a 250 watt HPS light for growing peppers over the winter. I always wanted to have full control over my bhut jolokia peppers, seeing as how it's next to impossible to grow them outdoors in the Montreal area.

I want to know if 250 watt HPS is ok for lets say 2 naga jolokia plants. I heard a mix between Mh, and HPS is the best... but i simply do not have the money to buy a switchable light fixture. So the 250 HPS will have to do.

Is it enough?

Thanks :)

should be more than enough for only two plants.

you can use a ceramic metal halide with your ballast
this CMH lamp has a spectral output like the sun.

Here is a link that might be useful: find your CMH lamp here
