remember this? 1 x400 watt room of HPS and 1 400W room of full spectrum CFL's same plants same feed everything identical exept the lights. wht won the HPS now 400w is 400w right? now if the par was all it was cracked out to be than it shoul/would blow the HPS away watt for watt, but it did not why? INTENCITY from the 400 HPS is more efective at growing plants under an HPS lamp than the superior PAR rating and less intencity of the CFL's FACT! its there infront of your eyes proof!
ROLF HAHA
lets see what he comes back with?
looks to me that the cfl hood is closer than the hps hood and still under performed.....remember this? 1 x400 watt room of HPS and 1 400W room of full spectrum CFL's same plants same feed everything identical exept the lights. wht won the HPS now 400w is 400w right? now if the par was all it was cracked out to be than it shoul/would blow the HPS away watt for watt, but it did not why?

I don't need to understand something that is irrelevant. It doesn't work.
The problem is no one ever mentions that CFL's dont penitrate more then 3-4 inches when nubees start to read about lighting. THATS why you cant just plug in a few 42w CFLs in street lights and such. CFLs will grow just as good as HPS as long as you can keep your plant encased in them like an iron maiden.I don't need to understand something that is irrelevant. It doesn't work.
I don't believe in theory I believe in results whats so hard to understand?
CFL THEORY SUCKS.
HPS PRACTICE RULES.
thats the way things are for now...
maybe in 5-10 years the technology will change (LEDS) but until then know your role and grow in your cab
which costs a bunch of extra cash in adapters,cords,and whatever you use to mount and hang all these little lights that have to be moved on a daily basis(because if your plant isnt growing on a daily basis you are doing something wrong). too much trouble for little buds....ill stick with the power to produce.....
little buds maybe if you don't keep any eye on how far your lights are from the plants.which costs a bunch of extra cash in adapters,cords,and whatever you use to mount and hang all these little lights that have to be moved on a daily basis(because if your plant isnt growing on a daily basis you are doing something wrong). too much trouble for little buds....ill stick with the power to produce.....
you spent money on a ph/ec monitor and you grow under CFL's? or are you using HPS? if your using CFL's I would have bought a better light before i payed out on the monitor IMHO
ive got some aqua terra, cannazyme, ph down, rhizo,superthrive, pk13/14....i think ive got a carton of epsom salt packed in there also
.....
It would be really best to have both lights going for full spectrum. I think you have a pretty close toss-up and you will probaly get lots of different opinions on it but now your four weeks into veg....going to HPS its probably best since your plants are getting taller.
LOL there will be no one left to argue with now you have gone
