so i've been growing with cfls for about six months and i have some nice bushes that are dying to be flowered. keeping the clfs as close as possible is starting to burn em (i had this in my last grow). i haven't started flowering yet .. it's going on almost two months of veg.
Here's my question..
For my space i would ideally need a 400 watt hps
I don't have the cash to get a complete ventilation system for it.
I under the assumption that hids genearally run the same temps.
so say i bought a 250
would that run me the same amount of heat as a 400.
i'm asking about ambient temps here .. of course i would setup a makeshift vent system. pc fans or whatever but until i get the money for a nice filter and fan setup i'm stuck with these damn cfls.
cfls are terrific and if i were more mechanically inclined i could probably get a great yeild. ( i'm using about 350 wt of cfls) but in scattered insufficient set-up.
so in short ...how do temps differ in different wattages of HIDs???
