CMH kills HPS but u carnt tell em eh?

LED is better than CMH except in THC%. But not warm enough for me.

I like a blend of hps/cmh.

Cmh does not kill hps cmh by itself is shit buds look shit no bag appeal.

I know.

You grow sog style?

 

[Sif1]

Did you experiment with hps/led?

Yes, was ok, better than just leds. I think if using leds you should add a hps cmh . even just for UV. If using leds you need to add UV bars.

You grow sog style?

I grow all styles mate. I like sog for a few reasons, yeild, easier to manage etc. Sometimes i grow plants about 2ft above a pot and get between 3 and 5oz per plant.

Above was a rescue job for a mate. they were his and I just finished them for him. pretty average really. But was better than nothing for him. Plus I wanted to see how they did under LEDs. I'd just put the LEDs in.

They are in the shed, have about 30k worth of them. Will use them as a mix in a big setup sooner or later.

They hempy buckets or?

 

[Sif1]

Here's some info for you all.

1. HPS only
-Lowest investment
-Proven technology
-Higher amount of waste heat/electricity consumption

2. HPS + CMH
-Slightly higher investment than HPS only
-With enhanced blue, full spectrum light and small UV component gives a higher quality end product than HPS only

3. LED only
-Much lower electricity consumption (35-40%) with additional lower cooling requirement with further electricity savings.
-High investment cost (4-5times the amount of HPS only)
-Good spectrum with high blue amount yields high quality end product

4. LED + HPS
-Medium investment
-Saves 20-25% electricity with an additional lower cooling requirement
-High quality end product as we can add extra blue light with the LED

They my budget mates fucking buckets from Bunnings. No good as the light hits the roots through the shit plastic. Don't take notice of that grow. It was a rescue to get him some cash as he had a visit from our mortal enemy. the devil,.
