So what you are saying is if the heat is right then the 400's will be better? But not if it causes heat to go above 28c or so.Pandan, I must say, I have to agree with Dr Green Dre (who knows his onions). In that space a 600 is far more efficient than 2 400's, even if you think the light spread is better, heat will reduce the effect of that.
y not turn your light foward,right over the weak spot?Hm ok. Well more money due when the power bills comes in won't matter once i don't have to spend so much money on bud every week. I already have the 2 lamps here as well, so i don't need to worry about the expense of buying that. And heat, well i just looked at it and in a hot spot it was 31c - which means nothing is going over that and most of the tops will be under 28c or so. There isn't even any tops where i took the temp they are all in better spots and i have room to raise the lights still if need be.
You're both talking me around to going back to just the 600w alone tho... although i want to be 100% before i give up on it you aren't just taking the electrical bill cost stand instead of just thinking about if it is better for better light angles or not. One reason that made me want to do it is the fact that a top in the back corner stretched more than all the others. I have no other way to explain it other than it didn't have a direct line of sight to the lamp (because it was on the socket side of the lamp, not the globe end). I already doubted the light distribution before I even saw something happen, and then it did... but then again maybe it wasn't that and i was just look for validation to my theory. I don't know. I do know though that when the light is in the middle then outer branches can block a direct line of light to whats behind it- but if the lamp is above then if there is no big central leader in the middle blocking things then all the colas will have direct light on them.
Here is a bodgey drawing to illustrate my point again (this is so not about electricity use or efficiency its about result)
I wish we had a real autumn or fall here, it is was over 90 degrees F yesterday, and gonna be a scorcher today as well!Isn't Autumn/Fall just one of the nicest times. Beautiful pics Duchie, really picking up an atmosphere from those photos. MAkes me want to put on a nice warm jacket, wrap up in a scarf and go for a long walk with a joint, lol. Well it's Autumn in my cab for some of it so I best get a wriggle on, plants that need cutting wait for no man....eh, hold on, actually they do wait, THEY WAIT FOR ME!!!!!!
Ah Mr Doob, I am glad the Cam is back on line, I was a tad concerned when it wasn't up the other day. I got another day of reverse cleaning in my area. The street sweeper is out there Beeping away like a mad thing...thew whole day. Time for my Bose Quiet comfort 15 me tinks.......

You getting anything done this morning then? That's a solid looking stump bill. What are you using for medium these days?I wish we had a real autumn or fall here, it is was over 90 degrees F yesterday, and gonna be a scorcher today as well!
That would end mine!This is how I like to start my morning
