Why not eh. The lumens seem a little lower than a hps of that wattage but if there's. money saving purpose to the plan I'd go for it.What are the thoughts of running a 3000K MH bulb for flower instead of an HPS?
I was looking for something else and came upon this bulb which got me thinking of just swapping out the bulb/ballast that's in there now with the 1000W MH ballast I have and one of these bulbs.

That thing will put out the same or less than the average 600 watt hps, but if you turn them both on my experience is the mh will "LOOK" brighter.I would love to hear about yield and quality versus hps with that light.
This one is 5000k

Yeah at about week 4 of flower I tool off all of the fans and larger leaves. It didn't take long for the bud leaves to shoot out into fan leaves again. It was benefiial though, the light getting down to all the bud sites really made some nice nugs all the way to the bottom.do you mean total defoliation or what?
You are welcomed to stay here at my house duch anytime bro!!!! My doors are open for you....Possibly. I'm doing lots of thinking and planning right now, and getting my passport process going today, and I noticed it doesn't cost much more to fly to London from LA than it does from here. That said, if I had the opportunity to meet some 600 member before I cross the pond, that would be great! At first I was thinking London for a couple of days, then CC25, a bit more of Europe, then home. Instead, I'm thinking, Cali, London, CC25 then home.
That is as long as my very old record doesn't stop me from coming over, and if any of you stoners would even want to meet an opinionated bastard like myself. That goes for you UK guys too.
