CFL/HPS/INDUCTION Light test

[britewire]

This test was conducted by Smartlight (http://www.smartlight.nl) and friends.

This experiment was conducted to clear the sky about alleged disfunctioning the new 150W CFS grow lights.

During this experiments weâ??re going to use 6 cabinetâ??s with in each cabinet the same environment, plants and temperatures. The only thing different in every room are the amount and type of lights above the ladies.

Weâ??re placing 64 K2 plants in each cabinet in 10L pots (2 in each pot)filled with BAC organic soil. We injected Mycorhizza fungi and BAC BIO-MIX bacteria in each pot for an healthy culture.
