whats up Vuitton,
so i recently had been doing a ton of research on plasma lighting for the past 3 months or so and everything i read at first was saying that you can't beat the spectrum and the buds off a plasma light are top notch! now this info was based on very few growers and just recently i read this huge article on a guy who did a side by side with HPS in one room, plasma in another, and plasma with HPS in another room, all same strain and growing medium and everything.
Long story short he came to the conclusion that the plasma lighting by itself doesn't cut it. and the best way to incorp the plasma lighting is to have HPS or MH as stationary Lighting and then have the plasma on a light mover very close to the tops of plants. reason being was that the plasma lights just don't throw out strong light, plasma lights have a hard time penetrating threw the top canopy to the lower and inner plant, but the spectrum and energy they give the plant on top of HPS really makes a diference.
in conclusion i decided to wait on a $5,000-$9,000 plasma light until either the price comes down or they figure out how to make the light stronger.
hope this helps, but honestly some mild google searching on the matter is how i found all my info, most home growers or even commercial growers haven't really ventured off into plasma lighting to much yet. most of the time you hear about breeders using them, i have no clue the reason why but from what i've read thats what i've noticed
hope this helps
