My only thought is its funny that you will pull it from 175 watts to 150 watts. Would you use the MH for vegging then switch to the other bulb for flowering? I'm not sure if I think its a good trade. Depends on your room needs.

my buddy has some great results using a 150, 2 to 3 smaller plants, easily pulls a couple zips, with some plant training
