Just had a quick look in on my ladies as the light came on, the exo is bushing up nicely already, a lot of nice new growth, another week or so and she will be getting raped for cuts, the 2 seedlings are still really small but they will catch up, now the main leaves are forming they will quicken up,

See that's the prob mate, everyone's having heat issues lol bulb wouldn't help much...I had 6 42w cfls n heat of em was atrocious so I switched to a 400w mg...my initial plan was small cupboard+one plant+Cfl= much cannabis....wrong lol id based my whole op around cfls as I was convinced I'd never use a hps as it was for personal and the cops would see the heat sig (2many yank threads lol) then I found the irish thread (after a near year on 420 n icmag lurking) read it, saw she'd been vacant for a while n proceeded to skip on over here to ask for help (Lo) n eventually was reassured that it's all good in the hood

Nah bud.. If both ur bulbs are 600 watt then they both consume the same amount of leccy mkay? Buuuuut the MH puts out less lumens sooo whatever power is not converted to light is going to be wasted as heat.... Heat could be from ballast, cheap bulb, shit hood or shit connections

th box is sealed, the ballast is over other side of room, we had the 400 hps in the 6" hood and a 400 mh in the same 600 hood wen the lad reeliased he was vegging under a hps we swapped out and temps dropped, it is what it is.

so let me get this right
ur saying


coz mh puts out fewer lumens the diffrence to the hps is made up of heat? therfore hps is hotter?


did u really just say that?

relax u CUNT, u didnt even say it u copy paster wanker
Heres a fly in the ointment. I say MH run hotter. Why? If both bulbs are 600 watt then they both consume the same amount of power. However the MH puts out less light (lumens). Whatever power is not converted to light is going to be wasted as heat. Hence MH wastes more power as heat than HPS.
