Old Reviews digilux hps bulbs

Honestly you will get fine results and the bulb your talking about doesn't have the uv blue spectrum that than other bulbs were talking about combination bulbs that have a hps bulb and a mh inside the bulb splitting the power depending on the model of the spectrum
1000 watt combo roughly 600 hps/ 400mh inside the same bulb
you will have an increase in weight of crop w/ a hps or a enhanced which has a stronger orange red spectrum than a normal economy bulb
but w/ the combo bulb you will have a slightly smaller crop usually but will get extra frosty from the added uv direction in more ballanced spectrum
Bottom line you can obtain very good results w/ a plain jane economy hps,
But... this is just one of thoose tweeks that boost plants
when flowered under a broader spectrum i have a sweeter finish and a less woody taste than grown under straight hps

Kool ...this is from HTG .and its enhanced in the Blue /violet spectrum ???
It still doesn't show as powerful from MH OR CMH IN THE Spectrum charts ..but the Blue is almost as high
I loved it last grow and yanked some ladies ...it was a better run till my shit got molded ...
My old crap house screwed me on this last one
How does the light affect taste??

that is great for what we are talking about some other bulbs might push slightly more lumens but honestly you will loose more from an improper reflector for the space trying to light than the dif between most of the new enhanced spectrum, heck for that matter the current frequency must be proper to ensure factory specs of electronic ballast output effency ratings
i misread your post i thought u had lu 400 by sylvania which would be a bulbthat while boasting high lumen output is actually geared towards industrial applicational bulk lighting ie. economy line of bulb which will still give fine results
alot of theese things are the little tweeks like squeezing that last six inches as close as you can w/o burning/bleaching plants to get the optimum push your specific bulb /lamp will give

Tastee is a slightly difficult thing that is very complex it is dif from everyone and not all the way understood especially it's subtlties, but.. the main thing is the increased turpine production and offers a more complete photosynthesis

the more complex the spectrum the more complex the variety of absorbtion which will offer a more complex taste w/ more subtle undertones and hints of flavors

The Uv blue will be higher in a mh bulb that is what gives the light a white blue apperance but it lacks in orange red of the hps to really pack on as much weight
The cmh shouldn't be compaired to either really it offers a much more ballanced spectrum w/ a stronger penetration strength
look at it this way instead of light look at it as waves
a hps offer little to no waves in the uv blue spectrum alone
a mh offers little waves towards the far red spectrum

both forms of waves are types of radiation if a plant only if bombarded w/ one side of the spectrum of radiation it will not be a balanced as a plant grown under the sun recieving both forms of radiation
remember thc is a sorta sunblock and protection for the plant the more you subject it to the more it must defend itself in yummy yummy crystally nuggs for you

Yeah I should paid the extra 45$ to get the CMH ...i think it was in a combo ..
The box I have for the light just basically says HTG enhanced Spectrum but it has the LU400 HORT and S51 ballast ,..
yeah its like the beginning of mountains Violet around 400-420..then blues at 500-520nanos ...but red is in 750s
That's nano meters
Then the relatative intensity is
8-10 violet, blue to 20-25
Yellow up to 80 and orange around 25 and going down ..RED IS below 10 and just slopes down ...
CMH is line a straight line ..ive seen

I just want a BLACKSTAR NEXT lol
The bulb I have is 55,000 lumens ...but that girl gets not as fuck ...u definitely need a airflow hood ..

t touch alittle more on complete plant production provided by spectrum increasing quality and taste
i would also take a second to touch on the factor of the spectrum providing the ability to provide a more balanced chlorophyl A and B production which also aids in production of other things like some betas that bridge the gap of pen ended color receptors as quick example
some time we may get up a post on full plant photosynthesis talking about but i tink i have seen Jm w/ a mj plant spectral breakdown of AB photo requirements to display a chart to show it easier to visualize and then discussion of things like green yellow orange light being of more importance than was previously thought and why they play a broader key to complete photosynthesis which isn't totally required for great plant production and results but for optimal plant production to be obtained a fuller spectrum must be used

Blackstar
I have seen many people get great great results from bs and it is similiar to ones i have looked at on the market
I have looked alot into leds and the main problem i see w/ them is they are great in the aspect that the bulbs are on a specific nm but it is also a downfall when trying to layout a balanced footprint of a light that provides equal coverage of all spectrums to all areas
and alot focus on blue only and abandon yellow green that is used in whites to blent w/ blue alot they are crucial anyway leds are a long discussion in itself and not so much on topic here so i'll stop talking about it
