I found a match to LED, and CMH (fer the digital users. Like me)

So i was lookin around on the internet scoping out CMH bulbs and i was like these

things r cool, but then i read..
The basics first - NO DIGITAL BALLASTS (you will destroy the bulb) only use a regular 400 watt High Pressure Sodium (HPS) ballast, the are designed to be EITHER horizontal or vertical (they can not be used universally) and most growers report better success with the use of supplemental silica.

I AM OUT!!

then i was looking at LED's (and talking to sum LED users, that was fun )

then i saw the PRICE!!!

I AM OUT!!!

but then i found this website that has bubls fer electronic ballist (all watts) in all different kelvins!! sunpulselamps.com is the website. they have MH in kelvin ratings 3, 4, 6.4, 10, 14, 20!!, and HIGH PRESSURE METAL HALIDES .heres sum copy and paste shits, lol.

who do i gotta put it in front of to do this? i belief its could be VERY beneficial to us digital ballist runners, and now a days alot of growers are! CMH wont werk fer us, and LED's r WAY too much fer the bang ur getting.

was also looking into the same thing ....here is a link for you

dingbang... for real...if you got info this is the time to speak up before some poor hapless stoner ends up with a damn bright porch light and no good grow lights lol

Hightimes had an article about Sunpulse awhile ago. They also offer spinning fixtures of up to 4 lights that rotate like a ceiling fan. Gotta be expensive.

let me know fuzz!! im runnin 2 400 watters on the cmh!! but would love to convert to a lumatek 600X2 but no cmh bulbs!! i got the ballast but jus keepin them on reserve for now !!

Hortilux Blue will exceed your expectations. I already did a comparison to Hortilux HPS. What r u trying to achieve?

SHAA!!!!!! lol

Lemme share. Heres my Strawberry Cough and Mist. Double lights. Blue on the left and HPS on the right. Very short node sets from the Blue compaired to HPS. Lots more resin too and harder nugs.CMH are pretty neat from what I read and are FULL spectrum and so are the Blue's.... Lemme know if you want one, I got a spot. Peace,SS

Check gardenscure and icmag, both have threads dating back to early 2007 with lots of tech data and some grows too.
