I wonder if any LED option is better than HPS 1000W?
CMH all the way.
What do you think about the new cmh/hps bulb from eye hortilux? I have 8 of them at the store waiting for me to pick up
Can’t you use a normal hps ballast for those?
For standard socket any electronic ballast will do. For DE fixtures the options get much more limited
Pretty sure you need a low frequency ballast for ceramic applications but could be diff with the C HPS… I saw the spectrum a few months back and it made me as wet as CMH did in 2016. Put a grow log up!
I’m testing one and I’m at day 15 and looks like day 25 at least. Quickest onset of flowers I have seen yet, I’ll get pictures later today.
They need to run on a ballast that is 100khz or higher.
Cmh runs at 50hz. I’m a cmh killer!
Hortilux also has some new t5 fluorescent for veg that looks interesting. I used ceramic hps like 12 years ago and it was great. I think it may have been phillips that had them available in 400 watts for awhile. I think they were designed for grocery stores to make the food colors vibrant.
Day 14 of flower, I’m using organic living soil and haven’t had deficiencies before but I’m worried this time. Them are at 1000-1200ppf
I presume your issue is the yellowing? If so hit them with a foliar. Id give them a tea also if you arent.
The more intense light is increasing their nutrient uptake. They need more nitrogen somehow.
They aren’t actually as yellow as they look, it’s from the light but I’m going to hit them with a tea today.
If you’re happy and you know it show your leaves!!! That looks like a thriving garden. Keep it up!!!
Stacks like a cmh fsho! I feel like that light is gonna pump out some dense ass nugs.
