start off with saying in Michigan its the hottest I ever remember in my life . every single day its 90 or 95 today 97 f the ac runs almost 24/7 killing the electricity in my clone room the flower room the living quarters . and the humidity is average 70 % so the dehumidifiers in flower...

what about the 40 % more par out put light the plant sees ? according to solistek proven 40 % that is HUGE. I would call that number a difference . 40 % is a lot of extra yield for the same amount of electricity and some magnetics actually draw less power then digital by 50 or 75...

its not all about lumens . its all about par this is why I suggested the solis tek or badass . there are a lot of videos showing a par measurement . check out you tube monster gardens they test a lot of ballasts for par

looking great . 99 did not do well for me could of been a fluke . it grew very slow and stayed short weak stems total let down . I am glad yours gone great . looks like 1.5 to me .

no if you could get 2 females I that hot tub then you would be having it going on .

I want to do a side by side test with a hps bulb . an I power 10 dollar bulb vs a 85 dollar hortilux . I looked at a lot of info on the internet tests are only showing a 10 % better rate out of the best bulb in the world . I currently run all hortilux but once I was so broke I had no...

I have tried the t5 in flower not for me only for the last week of flower with 10k bulbs in it brought out the crystal . not saying my Philips bulbs are just as good as a t5 set up but pretty dam close to it . I only run hps in flower .

yes regular t8 are trash . I would never go that way . I used to pump thousands of watts on top of my plants using mh . I am no longer in a huge rush . just a hobby here keep it cheap and fun .

right a 35 watt saving x8 is a 280 watt savings . so that is 45 dollar saving a month to me . its .16 per kilowatt here . 45 bucks pays my cable bill .

I bought the ones from homedepot they do NOT fit into a t5 hood only a t8 or t10 bulb the advantage to this the t8 hoods or light holders are very cheap compared to the t5 . and the t8 Philips is a white color . the drop in for the t5 or more then likely pink .

better yet I posted about a t8 drop in led bulb made by phillips I swear by them for veg and clone . saves 35 watts per bulb . growth is tight node spacing tighter then a mh . zero stretch . healthy light . I have a bunch of leafs actually curling around one of the led bulbs I never raised...
