I've been posting on the other thread that I started. On paper, the color spectrum looks great. However, there is a yield loss and it burns hot. I don't know why it turns on at the HPS setting and intermittently turns on at the MH setting.
If they can make a horizontal version, this would be the ultimate veg bulb. But I feel that it lacks in bloom.
i think if you look at my shot at the top of the page grown under CMH you will see they grow great buds. as for intensity the 330w lamps produce more PAR light than a 400w HPS. Par is the only real reading we should be paying attention to. unfortunately im finding hard to find where i found tht info again. its been a while since i researched all this. i have been growing with CMH for over 2 yrs now. i will try and find the info bear with me
I never said the CHM bulb wont produce great buds, but those graphs still don't show intensity. And I didn't say the HPS will produce more, but others on here have said so.
I'm honestly not interested in any info you can pull up because it is all skewed in favor of the company that is putting the info out there. What I do want to see are real life results, once well-respected people, like some on this site, have used it over Eand over with HPS and the same results come back showing the CHM to be just as good, or better during flower, then I will spend my time considering to buy one. As for graphs and info from a manufacturer, they almost never tell both sides of the story.
So there is no argument here, I just tend to believe fellow farmers and there results instead of some company posting graphs trying to sell me a light bulb. If you had great results using it, then thats great, but for me personally, I just need more then 1 person on the internet for me to buy something that expensive.
if Philips started using questionable data to describe its lighting, they would be shooting themselves in both feet with a howitzer- besides, most of the bulbs they're 'competing against' are their own bulbs- just those of differing design! So, that argument is frankly a bit silly.
So far, the man said that things looked nice and frosty, but yield was down a bit. The bulb only uses 860 watts, so if yield is down by less than 15% then on a per watt basis the bulb would hold its own in terms of outright efficiency.
Finally, what if this bulb's niche is as a better spectrum replacement for MH bulbs? That would still make it an improvement.
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.
looking forward to itI'm back from a vacation and some time off. Will post some stuff later
