CFL/HPS/INDUCTION Light test

[britewire]

This test was conducted by Smartlight and friends.

This experiment was conducted to clear the sky about alleged disfunctioning the new 150W CFS grow lights.

During this experiments weâ??re going to use 6 cabinetâ??s with in each cabinet the same environment, plants and temperatures. The only thing different in every room are the amount and type of lights above the ladies.

Weâ??re placing 64 K2 plants in each cabinet in 10L pots (2 in each pot)filled with BAC organic soil. We injected Mycorhizza fungi and BAC BIO-MIX bacteria in each pot for an healthy culture.



Cabinet #1 is equipped with 3 CFS 200W 6400K during VEG and 2100K during bloom.



Cabinette #2 is equipped with 3 CFS 150W 4200K grow lights.



Cabinette #3 is equipped with 3 CFS 150W 6400K throughout the entire grow.



Cabinet #4 is equipped with 2 HPS 400W Philips SON-TE+ grow lights throughout the entire grow.



Cabinet #5 is equipped with 6 CFS 150W 4200K grow lights throughout the entire grow.



Cabinet #6 is equipped with 6 Induction 200W 2100K grow lights.




The clones are getting 8 days of 18/6 and then weâ??re going to 12/12.







After 8 days VEG.
