I def. agree sealed cooled room better, and glass loss. I think I understand your voltage drop. Element burns cooler hence less voltage? Would be amazed to see a 15% decrease though. Have you tested this? Does that mean if I stop venting my hood and check in same spot with my light meter I will see a 15% increase? Not a disbeliever, just want more info please.Glass sealing your hood casuses a 10% loss in light, and air cooling your bulb drops that another 15% for a total of 25% loss. Air cooling your bulb drops the voltage in the bulb and actually dims the bulb. Air cool the room not the bulb for more efficiency.
Cool, I have no experience with the CMHalides, have you tried regular MH and compared the CMH to the MH?I've used Phillips CMH bulb and they rock!!!! I actually prefer them over hps. But they only go up to 400w so I currently use 1000w hps.
I haven't compared, but I have run both. All I know is CMH can flower very well, while MH gets outperformed. I can't say CMH is better than HPS as there is no comparison grows or facts to make that statement, but I personally prefer to have LOTS of spectrum rather than less. My flower room consists of 600w of LEDs and a 1000w HPS pounding over a 10x8 space. If I could manage heat and electricity bill, I'd add a couple 250w CMH bulbs in there too for even more spectrums! The buds (this has been tested) come out with higher THC and CBD with more spectrums.Cool, I have no experience with the CMHalides, have you tried regular MH and compared the CMH to the MH?
Sweet, I agree adding many spectrums can only help to reproduce the sun!
I'd love to try some grows under plasma, cmh and led to see if my levels change that much, would be fun!
