I have just added a 150 watt hps light to my Veg closet/room. I had 2 shop light fixtures 4' running a total of 4 - 3000 lumens commercial daylight bulb mix.
I removed 1 fixture unit, and will use 1 during the first week of clone transplant, then use BOTH 150 hps & CFL.
I could afford to run the shoplights 24/7, but adding the 150 hps (have another 150 hps in separate flwr room) will push my electric bill past the point of someone flagging me for using "WAY TOO MUCH" power. Or just slamming it with a few good spikes.
question:
can I run my CFL shoplite 24/7 in veg, then have the 150 watt hps run for 16-18 hrs during that period, or split up the times to run around clock intermittantly?
timing of = 2 hr on, 1 hr off, 2 hr on, 1 hr off and so on?
Or just use my cfl during the first week of clone transplant, and keep it off.....then just use the HPS unit? I am just wanting to add a diff. light spectrum to room for experiment. The HPS is directly below & centered on the shoplight. sits about 12" above growth (testing temp lvls). I post pics when I can.
I harvested 1 plant this morning (3 days early) I need to re-veg. i accidentally use water for flwr room that had strong nutrient solution on clones, burned/shocked the bloody piss out of them...all leaves have dried and are dead...they are starting to show new growth now......scared crap of me....would of had to goto seed again........ not waiting to do that for a while...
