Yo fellow gardeners!
I have a question for ppl with experience using HPS bulbs...
I plan on geting a HPS for flowering for a small space: (1 x 1 ft) 2 ft high. Today I use CFLs.
I was thinking about a 70 WATT HPS....but the price is about the same of a 150 watt.
My question is: is there a HUGE diference in the heat generated between a 70 and a 150 watt?
Is the 150 watt one generating more than 2x the heat generate by the 70 watt?
It should be, since the wattage basically doubles and the bulbs generate a certain amount of lumens + heat PER WATT.
I have good venting and exhaust, but unsure about the temp!
70 or 150 HPS?
Peace!,
R!
