Hi Roughrider, good to see you posting, thanks for the info.
Question: as far as heat goes, many people seem to believe that the watts is what determines the total heat. So I wouldn't get more heat to remove from the grow, it's just that the HPS puts out all the heat from one single point and therefore must be further from the plants. This supposedly is some kind of physics rule...
Make sense to you?
Bulster Reviewed by Bulster on . 200w CFL vs 150w HPS So I have 200w of CFL lighting going on 4 plants to cover approx. 3 square feet. Question: Would my yield increase if I used a 150w HPS instead to flower? Also, if I went up to a 250w hps would that double my yield for just another 100 watts? Say 6 square feet instead of 3. And how much power do all these different lights actually pull when you include the ballast? Rating: 5
