BobBong, have you notice differences adding the incans or you never grow with CFL without incans?

Yes.... yes i have. I've notived a heat difference too :P

incandescents can only assist the light spectrum in achieving a more red ambience

On another note though... I've completed the grow.. bringing my present farming career to an end. It was good and i feel i've gained enough knowledge to be able to grow under many different circumstances.. using.. any kind of light. Perhaps i will grow again.. perhaps.. i doubt this will be my last grow.. but for now...

when purchasing CFL's the package gives a
x watt amount but only uses x amount watts

when i see people posting they are using a 125w... are they using the lights that say "125w but only uses 65w" lights?

basically is the 125w the actual watts or is say the 65w the actual watts

[keeko]

hapapride, the way i understand it is that the 65watts is the amount of energy being used by the light, but the output is the 125w, so thats how much your plant is getting from that one bulb.......somebody correct me if im wrong though.

When someone says they are using a 105 watt CFL, they are actually using a 105 CFL..its Equivalant to a 400 watt incadescent

keeko thanks for the info

Pothead4204life so are you saying... for example, the package would read 400w but uses only 105w? I am not sure if you understand the question, maybe you do and i am just not understanding you

[Pothead4204life]

If the package says 105 watt CFL, they are actually only using 105 watts....if you look around the package, it will state the equivalancy to an incandescent

[HapaPride]

^^ ok ok ... gotcha... so it is being compared to if you were to use a incandescent.... thanks!

Im pretty sure I read somewhere about infrared light increasing resin or thc later in flowering, was wondering if incadescent would be good for this purpose as incandescent puts out alot of light in the infrared spectrum.

any coments on this
