Don ask me about the top bulbs.. I have gone back to a very simple cost effect bulb program..
I have a connection where I get my 600 mh and hps bulbs for less than 15$ each.. I think the hps is 2000 or 2500k and the mhs are either 4500 or 6000k.. color spectrum..
So I know just switch my bulbs every 120 days or sometimes even every cycle.. we all know the best part of the bulb life is the first half .. so my thoughts are the first 1/4 of there life they must be the brighest..
so its just quick change bulbs for me....
I have had great results so far with these generic bulbs.. they are not shop light bulbs are are made for hort use.. just thye come unbranded.. I have seen other name brands bulbs that I swear are the same and come from the saem factory.. hey eye hortilux are fricken awesome and if I had a choice I would use them ever time.. but hey if I had my choice I would also love to have enough money to give away to allow everyone to live like bill gates....
done mh by hps and and its a complete waste of time unless your using a hood with no glass
I have heard from many veteran growers that MH during the last two weeks will increase resin/potencybut will make you lose a little weight. I feel that the reason MH increases resin production is because it produces more UVB light the HPS lights. I have the suspicion that using HPS the last two weeks with added reptile or tanning lights will give the increased resin/potency plus weight. I will be testing this soon!! I started a thread about this in the advanced section.
From my understanding it only blocks 25% +/- of the UVA spectrum, but all-or nearly all-of the UVB spectrum. So the question is whether we are looking for-or rather are the plants looking for UVA or UVB, or both. I would presume it likes-or can at least handle both since outdoors it receives both. If I recall correctly, some manufacturers make a high-tempered glass that doesn't block out the UVB or UVA-at least the majority of it anyway. Please correct me if I'm wrong on this one.The glass blocks the uv light.
When you say 'reptile lighting' you certainly aren't speaking of the heat lamps right?
