Ok I'm setting up for my next season inside.
I have a dimmable ballast, with a 1000w hps bulb.
So is it better for my plants if I use the 1k bulb dimmed down to 600w or better to use an actual 600w bulb?
The reason I ask is last time I used the 1k bulb dimmed to 600w while I was at work and tent was closed up and still got hot.
During my home hours I'd open the tent and switch my ballast into 1k w setting.
I used the 1k bulb for pure convince, and never thought about effiency.
I must say using the 1k bulb it seems to have better spread as the bulb is much larger.
