with those 3 lights you get 56,000 lumens, with a 600W HPS you get 85,000-95,000 (depending on a bulb). you are not gonna get anywhere close to the results from 2x 150HPS, 1x 250HPS...or any combinations of t-5s/t-12s in comination with lower wattage HPS'. there is no comparison.

my bloom lights come on at 7pm (central time). i will take some pics of a plant under a 600W HPS and you tell me you've seen better with any combination of lights (other than large amounts of high wattage HPS'!)

headshake Reviewed by headshake on . Flowering with fluorescent tubes!?!? I have been using the search button but cannot find the results I'm looking for. Hope some people here can help. I am trying to find out who has had great success flowering with fluorescent tubes (t12's)??? What tubes did you use? How did you aquire the greatest results from the tubes? How close did you keep them to the ladies? Did you use any special nutes for flowering? (I heard Beastie Blooms works great?) Any info on the flowering stage with fluorescent tubes would be very helpful? Rating: 5
