CFL/HPS/INDUCTION Light test

This test was conducted by Smartlight 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.

Awesome thread, mad props. I have been looking for somthing like this for a while.

I looked at thier webpage and the induction bulbs are 555.00 some thing do you know what currency they use? Do you have a link to the experiment?:)

Smartlight

It's a site from the Netherlands, so they use the Euro currentcy

sweet. great thred! :D

Only thing I find odd is that they didn't use any reflectors on the HPS lights.

Very good thread

Super interesting results....

If somebody is very, very bored... could you please post the pictures over here in the boards? Thank you...

Questions:::
If they used the 2100K bubls... then what would I use for the 3500K and the 6500K bulbs?
