htg 150hps not orange, more yellow like a enhanced bulb, will yeild suffer?

[hilbie]

My light just isnt orange like so many hps bulbs are, is not like this= http://www.icmag.com/gallery/data/500/58717091208111412.jpg

it look like a hps thats been enhanced or a very warm halide. not sure if this will affect my yeild, new 2100k 150hps bulbs is under ten bucks, should i buy a new one, in veg i will say plants look very very happy- just want to max my potential

anyone?

you should lower the light closer the plants

150 is a nice hps. just dont expect too much!

looks fine. just lower the light as stated above. Go vertical if you want

id expect 200 grams on a decent yielding vertical circular grow with any kind of knowledge. opinons on expect little or much are irrelevant becasue its a smaller light, .5 gram per watt, gram per watt or 1.5 gram per watt are all a possiblity. depends on strain n system.


sito imo your systems very wasteful with light, youve done great with it horizontal i just cant grow that way and yes u do condense the light into one area this method but loose an additional 3 times the area in floor(useable) space. the future is vertical, for yeild, for heat management, light bulb longevity...etc.

everyone got into horizontal because typical hanging of the bulb vertical is total waste of light when u just put plants under it, now we are seeing people understand that placeing the plants directly next to the bulb is the way its done, people yeilds are going up 50% there first run, things like mylar or flat white paint are largely a waste of money as theres no wall to even hit with the light to even have a chance to be reflected back in vertical systems as the plants absorb it if u will or block it from getting through to the wall-

again its a space thing for some people, some just cant grow vertical.
