you aint growing with those are you? those bulbs are not suitable for growing bud.

That HPS looks intersting, really good spectrum. Has any one used one, or know anything about them. I might try and get one next time round. IF that is possible.

Do they work in a normal Ballest?

 

[swansong]

Any bulb that is designed to produce excessive uv or uv-b is not going to be in the ideal spectrum for growing bud. Wether its a UV black bulb or a bulb to go in a reptile tank...

It's not hps, its a ceramic metal halide that has been retrofitted to run on a magnetic hps ballast. International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - Ceramic Metal Halide (CMH)

its for growing resin, not bud. commercial growers need not apply.

If you want more resin, you need to let your plants dry out and lower the humidity.

If you understood how light is measured "in plants", then it really would make sense.
