SHP-TS:high pressure sodium....extremely good for flowering.....extra rich in red and orange spectrum
UVB lights:Mercury Vapor-uvb rays are harmful and cause the plant produce more thc to protect itself during flowering
Fluorescents:Good only for vegetation-from seed till about the beginning of flowering (you can use them from start to finish but the results will be rather dissapointing)
The most practical from all lights stated above are the HPS lights as they can be used from start to finish with good all around results....they range from 70-1000watts and with one single bulb you can do your job!
With a 70 watt HPS bulp you can grow 1 plant, with a 1000 watt one you can grow around 20 or even 30 if you due sea of green......anyways, with a halogen lamp you can't grow......get yourself a 250 watt HPS....over here in a banner i see they advertise one for 80 us dollars...with this you can grow around 4 plants in an area of 0.75 sq meters=6.75sqft....that's cheap and effective......if you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask....be well
Yup, what he said!! Not to mention the incredible heat they put off!
Has anyone seen any research on which is more effective; MH/veg and HPS/flower or HPS start to finish? I may just be cynical, but I've always wondered if one light does just as good as two. Could the manufacturers and retailers be misleading us to make a buck?? Say it ain't so!!
