hps &mh beats floros

[theelectrician]

why? because there easier if yur not worried over the money,i could and probably should use floros they work in modest areas very well but your always ajustin an movin um , crap on that:smokin: what do yall think? :stoned: ps i luv ma hps &mh 400s use 6 150 watt cfl for the corners and middle

Absolutely not. Fluoros have a much better spectrum than that of HPS or MH even when the two are combined. The only reason people get that super dank you see is b/c HPS puts out a higher number of lumens/watt. Also HPS and MH both run extremely hot when compared to T5 Fluorescent. I ca purchase 40k lumens of T5 for $209 at my local grow shop. Thats 80k lumens in one of the best spectrums available on the market today for a mere 864 watts. Yeah, not as efficient as HPS but when you consider that I can also run those T5s 3 inches from my plants then yeah, they are. Also no heat signature for those who don't grow legally.

I flowered using CFLs check out the grow log link in my sig, the buds I grew are some of the most crystally fire ass lookin weed I have seen. Keep in my I grew 2 plants using a mere 30k lumens. That's 15,000 lumens a plant. I am about to do a SCRoG with 40k fixtures per 2 plants. Buds should get crunk.
