What light for vegetative tent: A Poll

[South Sierra Dude]

I am putting a shopping list together for a vegetative environment tent. Looking for input on lighting options. I am specifically interested in testimonials not theorycrafting.

 

[Green75]

You are missing the best one on that list...LEC

 

[kingfish]

How about HPS

 

[kingfish]

How about T5

 

[Green75]

King I was talking about the best not the rest...lol

 

[South Sierra Dude]

I already have an HPS environment.

 

[South Sierra Dude]

Added T5 to the poll.

 

[South Sierra Dude]

LEC is out of price range

I had great success with T5s 6400K. And they come in a variety of lengths and widths to fit your needs.. They can be placed very close, as little to no heat.

 

[kingfish]

T5 and HPS. why reinvent the wheel ?

 

[Grinder]

I use LED for Veg. Low power consumption, low heat. good results.

 

[South Sierra Dude]

Ok added a second HPS to the poll.

 

[jalbertson]

I use LEDs for veg and bloom, just bring them a little closer for bloom.

 

[jalbertson]

That's why you reinvent the wheel. http://www.treehugger.com/bikes/these-new-bike-tires-could-make-flats-thing-past.html

I assume since LEC are out of price range so is CMH (i do not own one)...Im using 600w MH.,..

 

[dontknownuttin]

I used a 600 watt MH and now a 600 watt HPS for my finish.

 

[Nartak]

Same exact thing here!I started today and i put the MH on at 70+cm distance from the germ dome and have the fan off...Did u use the lamp on the germ stage?
