Two 250w CMH. Start to finish. The Phillips CMH lamps are a hybrid of MH and HPS technology. The drawback is they only come in wattages of 400 and less.

LED, 11.5 hours on

that's it.


on spectrum, it's all up in the air.. some people LIKE only HPS, some use HPS / MH or the bulbs with dual arcs, some use floro daylight... it goes on and on.. you experiment and see what YOU like

HPS the entire time.

I am in the process of switching over to T8 24-watt U-bend, 3000K, 82 CRI fluorescents. I have a 3.0625 square foot cabinet - super stealthy. It makes no noise and looks like a piece of high-grade furniture in my house. People walk by and have no idea. It has a television sitting on it now... Completely badass. Anyway, a fan died last week and my plants were burnt to a crisp. I was using 165 watts of compact fluorescents, but that was just too much heat in the cab, so now I will remote the ballasts to the outside back of the cabinet and there will be no heat in he cab. I will be running 5 tubes on to for 120 watts of power, then two on each side so that I can get adequate side penetration.
