CFL vs HPS

[riddleme]

lumens are very important if you have more space. CFLs just don't have the light penetration and are more for smaller setups. spectrum is not a problem if you use MH instead of HPS during veg. the only LED lights that are good are extremely expensive because you need a lot of them. if you want huge, ultra dense, high times cover looking buds, hps is the way to go as long as the other conditions are right.

where do you get this stuff, with what scientific link could you provide verification of this?

what he said is spot on true. cfl stands for cant fuckin learn, like riddleme, ask more q's dude

 

[riddleme]

But with expensive LED's they can be as good as HID's correct? Not going out and buying any but just wondering.

@Riddle -- Yeah that's just how it is. Well although other people don't enjoy learning I would love to read any threads you have on lighting so if you do PM me or post them up Always looking to learn something

there is one on PAR watts in my research nuggets (riddleme nuggets sig link)

and I just did one on lumens in my new Balls to the wall journal

are you saying that what he said was true? if so can you help him verify it?

and your telling me that CFL's = can't fuckin learn? have you seen what I did with just one CFL ???

Yeah CFL's suck, I grew this plant with one 65 watt cfl and a 32 watt T9 (see avatar) so 97 watts, the plant was 21 inches tall and yielded 47.2 grams dry

edit: PS I did it to prove how misunderstood lights are

Ahh thank you and yeah I subb'd to your new journal the other day. And yes that is pretty amazing what you did with 97 watts I use an HPS but I have a few CFL's for side lighting. How much did the t9 help? And how close do you have to keep flouros? About the same as CFL's? Thanks

plant can actually touch T8's, T9's and T12's T5's are too hot and CFL's should be 2 inches away

Ahh alright, and as far as electricity cost goes on them? And so after browsing around for 15 minutes I have to go get a copy of Marijuana Grower's Insiders guide haha

with a real light you could have done better, faster, dude do you not believe in science you need a link to tell you that?
cfl= the "dark" ages
