I like the fact that someone is trying this experiment but I am a little confused about a couple things. How is this going to be a very accurate study without using the same amout of watts? If you based this study on lumens I believe the CFL's would win because they can be spaced differently than a HOT HPS that just hangs above the plants. (You would however be using more watts in CFL's if you went based on lumens.) I would suggest using the same amount of watts and then trying the experiment again. I am not at all knocking your experiment, Im just not sure how accurate it will be because of the watt difference and the temp problem you had. Good luck and I'll be following your experiment and I hope you do more. We need more documented studies in the growing world.:smokin:
jon420 Reviewed by jon420 on . HPS vs. Induction + CFL flowering comparison Hi, this week I will be starting a comparison grow between HPS and Induction lighting. Question: Can induction lighting produce the same flowering performance as HPS lighting, while using 50% or less watts? The goal is NOT any of: - examine veg growth - produce maximum yield - try any other kind of experimentation Methodology: Rating: 5
