Basically yes, its more complicated than that, PAR values and such, but a good rule of thumb is the more lumens the more you harvest.Well I found a 400W HPS used without a bulb for $90 shipped. Probably get that and build a big single grow room.
Is lumen output basically directly proportional to product?
fuck that you dont need no hps i use 3 cfls and my buds look great short bushy plant and hard nugs
wow you guys smoke alot, takes me 2 weeks to go through an ounce and thats sharing with a couple people once in a while too. I been smokin for 26 years now.
What kind of yield do you looking to get per plant? I really don't want to have to uproot my grow to add in a HPS but I will if I have to. I'm just looking to get a personal stash of about like an oz-oz and a half a month with my 2 plants.
yes the bulbs are pretty cheap and you can find those at most hardware stores, but you need to buy the ballast and thats the expensive part.I actually saw some $30-40 400W sylvania metal halide and HPS bulbs at Lowes the other day
