    using more watts in veg and reducing watts in flowering = better yield?

    Thanks for all the thought provoking dialogue and the introduction to TED and that video was well worth the 18 minutes invested. I'm now a subscriber to that site. In the spirit of 'protecting the vacuum' are you familiar with the design obsolescence characteristics of HID lamps in general...

    comparison grow: HPS vs Induction

    My Blue Sugar (Blue Dream & Sugar Kush) mmm mmmm mmmmmm the top shelve is a an indagro 200 and the bottom shelve is a 4 lamp T5 The 420 rooted in 8 days with thicker white roots, tighter internodal spacing and darker fuller leaves. I had to remove the humidity domes from the indagro plants...

    comparison grow: HPS vs Induction

    That day 36 video seems to have a lot less stretch. Maybe a week under the 420 had something to do with that. That little 100 watter is perfect for the clones and some side light. I might have added another one on the other side but if they deleaf a bit and move the canopy the lowers should...

    comparison grow: HPS vs Induction

    With these spectrums and energy savings I'm wondering has anyone tried putting these lamps in for vertical lighting? The website says to mount them horizontally but it would seem if they could be mounted vertically then the bottoms would see the pop. Don't see why they couldn't go vertical...

    Induction Super Grow Light 300W = 1000W HID?

    Curious as to how much energy you saved from your previous setups? Also has anyone tried these lamps for vertical lights and if so how did they do? thanks

    comparison grow: HPS vs Induction

    I made it on Saturday too and can second that there was some sweet ganja making the rounds and the Inda-Gro booth was well worth seeing since they brought out what looked to be some purple kush and blue dream plants that are growing under these lights. What I found interesting was the way...

    Gavita pro 600 / LEP 300 PLASMA test

    I'm liking the results but that's a question I've had too that needs answering before dropping that much coin. I've heard ratings at 30K hrs but when does the lumen depreciation mean it's time to change an LEP lamp? What's just the lamp alone going to cost? How about the magnetron's...

    Gavita pro 600 / LEP 300 PLASMA test

    Any chance a vendor will be showing these lights at the LA cannabis cup this weekend? Amongst other things I'd really like to see how they run for heat?

    comparison grow: HPS vs Induction

    an LA cannabis cup in my backyard! I see a lost weekend in my very near future. I've been following this thread and have been impressed with the results with such low wattages. But seeing them in action and getting a better understanding of what makes them work is what I've been wanting to...

    Gavita pro 600 / LEP 300 PLASMA test

    Hey SD thanks for clearing that up. I looked at the Hortilux MH Blue but @ $230 ea I couldn't justify it since I run a 18/6 600watt standard MH for veg and flip to my 1K hps for flower. I would like to cut my power down with an LEP but I can only afford a couple of the gavita 1000's for now...

    Gavita pro 600 / LEP 300 PLASMA test

    cool....I just called them and they do have two in stock and even gave me a 5% discount but the Gavita Pro 1000 lamp/fixture is more like an HPS lamp then a plasma since it's all red spectrum not blue. Now I'm confused since the Hortilux blue you're running is a Metal Halide with no red...

    Gavita pro 600 / LEP 300 PLASMA test

    Hey SD thanks for the info I'll be checking it out today. This is the one we're talking about right for flower only?

    Gavita pro 600 / LEP 300 PLASMA test

    are you currently running the Gavita Pro 1000 and if so could you point me to anyone who may actually stock these bad boys? I'm in LA

    Gavita pro 600 / LEP 300 PLASMA test

    Here in SoCAL and would pull the trigger but does anyone know how long the plasma lamp lasts or when they'll have to be changed due to lumen depreciation?

    Help!!

    I bet they try to enforce it. They want all cows drinking from the same trough. Home grows spells competition and everyone they bust will get tons of media as they 'get tough on drugs' and the dispensaries rake in the profits. why else even put that in?

    Gavita pro 600 / LEP 300 PLASMA test

    Thanks for sharing all the details of this grow and these lights. The quality and yields are truly epic. I'm thinking of ordering two of the pro600's but I've not seen this covered previously here nor did I see it on the Gavita site. Do you happen to know what the lamp life is on this...

    UV-C Light

    Excellent response and a lot of good information. You definitely make the point that UV-C is not to be used without a complete understanding of the handling and dosing of this spectrum. I generally agree with everything put forth but would like to point out some mischaracterizations regarding...

    The New Smart Electric Meters

    'wot a mess' is an understatement! Are you familiar with the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs? Fascinating history behind the member UN countries who signed up for this international treaty. Interesting to see Brazil dropped out due to the restrictions being placed on coca leaf...

    The New Smart Electric Meters

    Interesting thread. I thought I'd just be looking at metering issues but I see wider implications which I thought may be of interest. To my knowledge CA doesn't have any agencies to enforce a statewide licensing program like CO and CO still got the shutdown letters. I don't think the Obama...
