So all that means is keep the light at a safe distance away. Having done that the grow is going to grow for a while on its own, however if you were using flouros, it would need daily attention to properly place the lights where they need to be every single day.
How many more times do I have to say the same fucking thing before you intellectually challenged morons understand it? LOL

Whats the lumen readout under your HID under the hood? is it close to the advertised or higher?

C2M,
If you want anyone to take you seriously, can you please post some reasoning for all this, apart from just your 'personal experience'?
I am not an experienced grower by any means, but i would like to know what is the best lighting and most efficient lighting for me.
So since you seem to know so much, please enlighten me on why an MH is better for veg than a similar wattage fluorescent or CFL? What about the PAR lumens, what light puts out more PAR lumens per watt?
Is it not true that fluorescents and CFL's don't put out far more lumens that are actually in the PAR spectrum? Is that just BS? please educate us novices? Seriously...

As usual, someone comes on, says they're getting better results with HID's than they did with CFL's and then buggers off, without giving any information at all as to what cfl's they used.
This simply reinforces in many inexperienced growers minds that cfl's are not very good and that HIDS are the way to go.
I'm willing to bet a lot of money, your cfl's were small, low output and in the wrong spectrum.
You got poor results using them because of your ignorance about plant lighting needs and selected the wrong cfls - that's your fault and no fault of the type of lighting you used.

I'd be happy to answer your questions spliff, but I rather suspect that it's being directed at Chinga_2_Madre, so as I'm talking a 'load of bullshit' I shall await his reply with interest.

Hows a light meter going to help you? Does it record PAR, lumens or lux?

Otro pendejo. A "chingar a su madre" quere dicir que lo vas a pegar.
Yo tengo familia in San Antonio Y entiendo la idioma de tejas. No soy pendejo.

I dispair, I truly dispair.
So folks, ignore all the IR radiation coming out of your HIDS, it doesn't produce heat build up at all as long as you have it at a safe distance away from your plants all that nasty IR heat will magically disappear in a puff of the fairy godmothers wand!
Simple!

I have been smoking since we landed on the moon (that is 1969 for you history mental defectives)
PS...... Hey it would be "halador de cagada"
"Cagado" is not the correct conjugation or tense.
Only someone really really sharp would catch that so what does that tell you ? The mother fugger is on it.
Save you money for LED technology because its coming.
You do realize brewing beer is almost free right? water + sugar + champagne yeast = vinegar (and a buttload more yeast) its a veritable CO2 factory.
Way to increase your credability. Attacking the reader.

Yes, that was definitely directed at Chinga 2 Madre.

Do you mean, why do I waste my time trying to educate people about plant lighting when the vast majority of what I say either isn't understood or simply ignored by those determined to use their HPS systems come what may?
I don't know either and yes it is rather laughable.

I never saw someone so narrow minded a you babygro. I am still awaiting your grow book. lol
If you had said what you just did to my face I would break your spine and make you skull fuck yourself. Go swim home.

Still no closer to knowing what fluorescent lights you used.
Cheap 10 buck wallmart lights, no wonder you didn't get a good result.
Never mind, you can chuck your 30-50% additional power consumption wastage of your wonderful 400W HPS after the 150 bucks you wasted on the wrong fluoro lights.
A fool and his money soon part is a saying that rather springs to mind.
