Ok call me skeptical but can this really replace a 400w HPS? OBVIOUSLY it's not going to have the penetration.... or the lumen output.....(So lets get that bullshit out of the way) but hey its has a whole bunch of VEL (whatever the f* that is, yes I read their whole little pamphlet and I feel like I can make up words too) . Now I OWN this light and the first thing I want to say is its kinda cheap feeling, the reflector inside isn't very tight to the housing and rattles, the whole ride home in the car my eye was about to pop a blood vessel. It just doesn't feel like it cost $610.00 that's all.
I spent some cash on this thing so I feel like I am allowed to say this without having everyone jump down my throat but... its just a magnetically operated CFL, with better spread since its not in a spiral. They have those TEK T5 lights that basically seem like the same thing to me. This light will just last a long time because it doesn't have an electrode in it to burn out, but its still just a CFL.
So I am kinda high but basically what I am stating is this thing is just a really long life 200 watt CFL bulb at 5000k.
What makes this thing so amazing?
I grow in a now 3x2x3 ft tent (Secret Jardins DP90) and I scrog only 1-2 plants. This is in an attic so heat is already an annoying problem to tackle. I have a good cool intake and I exhaust into another room with a closed door between then so temps cant mix.
I got this Indagro because I want to get rid of my 250w HPS. I don't feel I really need the penetration of an HPS and although the lumen output is great the heat isn't. If your tents 94 degrees with an HPS you still get airy buds.
So will this flower all by itself? If I add in 4 2ft T5HO 2700k lights in will that give me the red I need in flower better? Or should I grab some 2x 50W Cobs of 630-660nm leds from ebay glue them to some computer heat sinks strap on a cheapo power supply from ebay and run it till it fails?
So will this thing flower by itself or what do I need to supplement it, other than an HPS...
