Clearly there is a shit ton of LIGHT escaping from both insulated containers. Since the mercury vapor lamp puts out almost all of its light in the visible spectrum (much higher energy photons), while the halogen puts out the majority of its energy into the infrared (low energy photons), the mercury lamp is losing a shit ton more energy from the container. That's the difference.
You growing peppers there? If so what type are those? I'm an avid pepper grower as well, currently growing some jalapeno and california bell peppers.Here's my male that was stripped clean with the girls a few days ago seems to be happy with the up potting/topping/defoliation
@GroErr this one's for you bro, thanks for all the help behind the scenes for my upcoming project

That's a ghost pepper I am.messing with leaf stripping and training before tossing it outside with the rest. I have bell peppers and other outdoors in sips with the tomato plants as well.
Yes, as roger pointed out, its not a fair test, considering they are comparing basking lamps which are designed to radiate more heat and the thermometers are getting heated up at different rates due to the spectrum. Also as you say different amount of light coming through the plastic containers probably also due to different spectrum.
I will have to look into that and get back to you. I just was not able to find these plants as cuttings at my old home so when I saw this one at the nursery and for $2 I had to have one my brother got one too we are having a kind of veggie grow off because all my peppers and tomato's were a gift from him this year now that I am living in the same area as him again. Been a long time we had lived in different states. So was a nice homecoming. I had Jalapeno's pablanos and habaneros going at my old placemmmm Jalapenos, I could eat them all day.
Evil-Mobo is a ghost pepper the same thing as a naga ghost chilli? I used to eat a lot of those in a pasta dish but I'm afraid I cant handle the stinging bell end when I pee anymore.
Awesome dude, what varieties of tomatoes are you growing in your garden this season? I'm growing some super beefsteak tomatoes for the first time in my outdoor garden, hoping for some monster tomatoes.
I will run out later to get you the varieties I just got some pics today they blew up over night wonder if the full moon thing is real lol.........I could not ever grow tomatoes successfully back home because of the heat, they just would not survive. So I'm excited to have 4 plants going this year aside from the various peppers. My brother ordered cuts from burpee and whatever package he got included three of everything so I was one of the three people to get what came in lol. The ghost pepper I am donating to a local business for a contest they will run when they're ready to drum up more business. Kind of see how much of a stud you are type of deal I told them I didn't want anything except to see the entertainment lol.......habanero's is about as hot as I like it.
I know to many it's an over rated strain but it is god send on my nerve pain but the real reason was for an upcoming breeding project:
I've been growing tomatoes and lots of other garden veggies for a few years now and love it. One thing I've found though is that bigger definitely doesn't mean better. The biggest tomatoes I have grown usually end up getting split near the stem and they definitely don't taste better. It's like that with almost every veggie or fruit. Smaller watermelons are typically sweeter etc.
gotta love it.
Damn Evil I'm jelly of your legit GG4 cuts, sweet. And that male, if you flipped that thing now it would fill your entire tent after the stretch, grab some clones and flower the clones or you'll have enough pollen to pollinate your whole state with that monsterClone fairy came by today I FINALLY have GG#4 cuts

My Satori male is loving life in the bigger pot with more soil and yesterday's special feeding
@GroErr He says what's up G

And I just couldn't help getting a shot of my Narcotic Kush Auto this plant is just amazing man I wish she was a photo period to keep a cut around:

Yeah after seeing him bounce back I now see what you mean, before the TLC he wasn't so substantial lol............Damn Evil I'm jelly of your legit GG4 cuts, sweet.

Yeah that is completely true, that's why i planted some marglobe tomatoes as well, the big ones are kinda a test to see if they are good for making sandwichesI've been growing tomatoes and lots of other garden veggies for a few years now and love it.

We can our tomatoes and use them throughout the winter for spag sauce, chili or whatever. We can salsa we make from our roma's and peppers and cilantro
Most of my males tend to stretch like 3x. + their size going in, much more than the females. It would literally fill your tent. I'd like to see it though
If I can find another tent laying around you might lol.............Most of my males tend to stretch like 3x. + their size going in, much more than the females. It would literally fill your tent. I'd like to see it though
Just the way I like it and the way it should beGreat thread Brother @Evil-Mobo , I see you have folks of all different lighting flavors, methods, and beliefs all kick'n it in harmony
