ok i admit, i dont get fired up about too many things, But when someone started talking 600 watts i was clueless.
As a diehard 1k farmer i have become used to burning the big 150k lumens,
before you know it you got lights everywhere, as a budget grower i started with the 400 watt
i used the #1 seller, and @ less than 140.00 to your door i was very very happy, before you know it you are building monster buds. Well at least you think!
so this 400 watt system is cheap cheap cheap, (and thats why i got it)
You get out what you put in. turns out these cheap transformers, use about 70-80% output, and the generic bulbs burn at less intensity. So in reality i estimate i am pullin tops 35 k lumens. OF a MAX 50K!
i use these light to veg cuz i needz the bulk of 150k lumens to flower.
so when they start talking these 600 watters giving 90k i was reading, this thread made my really question the output, we have had the digital ballast talk too.
Well i am sorry but i take alot of what is discussed here and ignore it! when we started talking 600 watt fixures i thought 90k ya bullshit!
Here's what i did.
