Off the shelf retail store screw-in LED and CFL bulb comparisons

[ratsidecar]

Flowering 8 weeks and on the plain water now till ready. Some of the buds are getting heavy and falling over.

I seem to have hit my upload limit in the gallery and cant upload any more pictures. If i delete a few albums from the gallery to free up space will the images still show on my old posts or will they disappear as well?

Is that true? I don't want to play part in any rumors.

However, if ICM no longer hosts images then we need to relocate our images to a third party. I'm sick to death of photobucket and it's not private and secure anyway.

Any suggestions for a PRIVATE/SECURE third party image hosting service?

If it's not accurate that ICM will stop hosting images then please let me know so I can delete this post.

Hit 50 posts and you will have more room in your albums.

Temperature is okay, was mixing the feed a bit too strong. Been testing gh floranova and I like it so far but its a bit gloopy to dose with a pipette so been throwing in overfull dessertspoons lol

After going back to my amazon cart I see the bulbs are rated 2700K Soft white glow and 1100 lumens. Thanks again.

Seems a bit excessive to me, you'd be at ~65 watts/sqft, many people in this thread have shown great results with 20-30 watts/sqft. Also so many watts in a relatively small space will generate quite a bit of heat, that you will have to deal with.

The bulbs are ok, I think, though there are more efficient ones available. Might still be worth it, if you get a good deal on them.

 

[HuffnPufferfish]

id go 30 per, there is NO benifit for more watts, you can hang them lower if you need higher intesity if you want
after 3 years ive decided that 8-10w chips have the best result in low spaces (so 95% of the growers) and the 15-20w put out too much heat to be hung low

these 15+ are great for small veg boxes, hang em and leave em, they are intense enough to stop most of the stretch and the spread works with reflective walls

I'm using 20w spots.. they are a bit excessive indeed, heatwise. Fluffy buds though.
