So you seriously think that one of the largest electronics manufacturers in the world would intentionally misstate the data from one of their most established and respected product lines?
I'm not going to debate this with you. Just do us all a favor and the next time you start talking, at least try to do some research so you're not completely out in left field? People who don't know better might believe you.
Are you serious bro???? Come on, my post does not mean Phillips was actually doing what I said, it was an 'example' just like you used an 'example' saying a company would not 'shoot there self in the foot'. I don't buy Phillips bulbs and I'm sure most growers don't use there bulbs either. Its not about 'mistaken data', its just inaccurate data (like I've said multiple times) that those graphs show, because it has NOTHING to do with intensity, which has ALOT to do with bud development.
If the CMH bulbs have such a better spectrum then HPS, then why doesn't it produce more yield then HPS bulbs??? I'll answer that, its because plants don't need as much blue-purple spectrum when developing buds, so maybe I came about it the wrong way with my argument, but the facts are there, and HPS is the best known bulb to produce cannabis flowers.
So don't get me wrong, the CMH is a great bulb, and I'm not saying its not, but it does not produce the same intensity of the orange-red spectrum a plant needs when budding because alot of the energy (watts) is being used for blue and purple spectrums.
Again, this is not a debate or argument I am trying to start, its what I believe based on real growers sharing there experience and what the graphs themselves show, or lack thereof, in regards to intensity.
If somebody 'doesn't know better' and they believe me, then I urge them to do there own research on both sides so they can believe what they choose themselves.
