Shit I hope not. Gonna get another bulb if that's the case!
Might want to do that, it was my grow store guy who told me.

yea i was jst watching the comparison video and its dated 6 months ago so, im going to give the guy at the shop the benifit of the doubt however i will be doing research before my next purchase, i feel over the course of the next 3 months more recent comparisons will happen, time will tell, also im going over kind of a strain debacle i want a super dank plant that i can dial in to perfection but is a proven yielder, i would like 2different strains, what would you reccomend for dankness and production, i would like at least 2-3 oz per plant. taste isnt the big deciding factor however i would like something i like, sour sweet piney lemony not a huge berry fan but if its dank its dank i would like to run 2 diff strains perpetually like harvest 5 a month out of my 4x4 and veg elsewhere. you have alot of background with diff strains so I figured you would be one of the ones to ask. Price range i would like to stay within 150 and i would also like to grow out 5-10 per strain to find the perfect pheno. Thanks bro
I'm in the camp that says proper spectrum is more important than total lumens (assuming you've met minimum lumen output). I run a Growzilla with 400 and 600 in the same hood. My LUX readings are well over the high range of what is supposed to be needed (https://www.rollitup.org/subcools-o...as-box-querkle-dairy-queen-3.html#post5075384). I'm around 140k in the middle of the canopy with both lights on.
I know a lot of people get worked up over lumens, but that's more a function of how close you keep you hood to the plants, and how much you trim your leaves to let light penetrate the canopy. If you have enough power coming from your ballast and good enough ventilation of your hood you don't have to worry about lumens so much between one bulb vs. the other (IMHO). That's why I'm focused on optimizing the spectrum now.
Jerry - sorry to hijack your thread. As always, I've learned something new from following your grows. Keep up the good work!

just saying jerry your kickass and so are your babies
No hijack. What do you use to measure your LUX? I'd be interested to see what my readings around at various points in the tent.
Hey Jerry, that LSD looks bomb. Do you supercrop or LST your plants?
what size are thoses containers? and do u use the full general org line ? thanks jerry btw that og looks crazy good high times quality
Yes, more LST than supercropping. I tie/bend everything. I've actually recently been experimenting with scrog screens for the RP Sour Diesel and OG Kush, and they seem to be responding well to it. I'll get some pics of them with the next update, which should be in a day or two.
I typically avoid topping/fimming if I can.
