70hps vs cfl

[zorkan]

which is better 70w hps or 10 23watt cfl

 

[Illegal Smile]

I'd vote the cfls.

 

[ijustgrowGREEN]

how many lumens is the hps? how many lumens does each cfl give off? i'd figure out which is putting out more light than the other. also, you veggin right now or flowering? how about hps overhead and sidelighting by cfls?

 

[bar]

you cant add lumens

Well if your willing to pay for 230w of power to use the cfls go to a 250HPS for a huge advantage!!!

you cant add lumens

so 500 bulbs that put out 5000lumens each is just as good as 1 bulb that puts out 5000 lumens?

 

[ijustgrowGREEN]

why can you not add lumens? is a measure of light that each bulb gives off... lol

hey man, yeah, you arekinda right,just using the wrong terminology, do some research and get back to me. it has been discussed many times.

 

[bar]

also, who cares about lumens if they are in the wrong spectrum you douche ???

 

[ijustgrowGREEN]

why are you name calling you little prick? no reason to act like an idiot, even though you are. as an example, i have an overhead light(in my avatar) that gives off 17,000 lumens. if your theory were correct, it'd be 1 big fucking bulb! but it's not, it's 3 seperate bulbs which ADD up to 17,000 lumens! you fucking moron. the manufacturer of the lights obviously isn't as "bright" as you..... go eat a bowl of dicks and watch your mouth when you speak.

who said anything about spectrum?

 

[ijustgrowGREEN]

yea, i forgot about that. nobody even mentioned the fucking spectrum! what an idiot you are "bar"

Hey man, this shit is hard to dumb down enough so dipshits like you can understand. the answer to if they add is both yes AND no, but more to the point is it just doesnt matter at all. using lumens is easy but not correct when talking about plants, it is a scale for humans.

Not all the light from a HPS is usable throughtout the cycle of a plant, therefore it is not using 100% of light spectrum being emitted,need to be taking into account for the different stages of growth

 

[ijustgrowGREEN]

first time on this site i've ran into such a mouthy little prick. you got shitty with me for absolutely no reason..... how many others have you pissed off in all of your
"52" posts?

so what is the best type of light to use?

cfl hps mh or another?

LOL, im sorry i have only done 50 odd posts, i dont really have time to sit posting all day, anywhoo, this is off topic and i've got shit to do, have fun thinking about eating dicks,seriously dude, if your at home thinking baout that you have serious problems.

 

[fish601]

i think hps is the best well rounded light its pretty good for all stages of plant life
correct me if i am wrong

 

[jact55]

an hps will work for all stages. this is a pointless question. i would take one 70w hps over a smaller cfl, but i would take 6 cfls over a 70w hps. so it can go either way. but if oyu are so worried about it then do both. cfls are cheap and easy to add to an hps set up
