Will 150w HPS outperform 372w of T5HO?

[OMB]

why do you over power the T5¨s watt .

if you are gona do this test why not do
t5's 150 watt
hps 150 watt.

i just dont get the over all pics that you are trying to get when you overpower the T5's over the hps ?

--peace--

That's just what I have running and I'm not pulling bulbs to make it "even". I think it's more a cost thing to run as well. The T5's have more watts, but less amps.
If it was "even" in Watt's, I'm pretty darn sure the T5's would lose.
I'm not getting all scientific or anything, more for my amusement than anything.

OMB Reviewed by OMB on 12-06-2013. Will 150w HPS outperform 372w of T5HO? Well, I'm going to Find out! Only really applies to me and my particular grow, but a worthy effort anyway. A couple day's ago I put two under the T5's, and two under the HPS. I think the HPS at 150w is about 18,000 Lumen?...and the T5's are pushing 35,000 Lumen. I will throw a couple pics up when the "wakeup" tonight, should be interesting anyway. Predictions? Rating: 5
