Ladies and Gentlemen, please step aboard the magic bus. Were going on a ride.



If you use a micro HPS, let this be a place to post up stories, images, hints, discussions, insight, and things you have done that may benefit future grows.

Let it begin below,

• Highest dry yield (gr and gpW):

1. Panconqueso: 70wHPS , 62g dry , .89gpw!

I know that there is a 150 club and a CFL club. I know they have a wealth of information.

I'm wondering because I havent seen it before, but does a 70w HPS club exist?

You should be the founder. Good idea too, small, simple, cheap, etc.

Nice TemptedSoul, is that 420W of 70W HPS bulbs in there?

Click to expand...

yup! They dont burn leaves unless touching the bulb. Works out awesome! 70w bulbs "among" the plants. Almost no wasted light.

Very, VERY cool cab!

The dangling HPS lights is genius... I remember (fuzzily) reading that with HPS the light/watt is less efficient with the smaller bulbs, but that it was the opposite for CMH where 70 and 150w bulbs are the most efficient kind. Have you considered switching out a couple of those for CMH?

Also, how hot is the 70w HPS compared to a 42w CFL? I know you said they dont burn the leaves unless they touch, but doesnt having the light soooo close stress them or anything?

Stress isnt always a bad thing. It has'nt ever caused a hermie, and the bud size is unaffected. Budbox temps hover around 80f and res temps around 72f.

Bulbs are a bit hotter than cfl. They will burn the skin if contacted firmly, cfl's wont.

Pic is an old one, I added a 100w cmh a while ago. It helped with stretch alot! New budbox plants get the cmh close.

but a 400watt cant get that close to the plants, cant snuggle in nicely like he has.
