Way too much heat for the lumen output.

Look around for 1,500w HPS grow information, I remember seeing some growers bitching about how inappropriate they are for cannabis.

Now... lettuce in a 10x10 area might do ok. :)

Stay Safe! :blowbubbles:

1500w bulb options are pretty limited and I've never see one sold in any local hydro stores, that would be a deal breaker for me because in an emergency you're pretty much screwed.



It just seems pointless because you'd have better light distribution with a 1k and a 600. That seems like a lot of light for such a concentrated plant zone.

:laughing:

6 day ban. Apparently I had a communication issue in a post and people thought I was offering cuts instead of discussing a logistics issue.

Story of my life... Whatever. It was a nice vacation. :thank you:

Seems to me I remember that being part of the conversation. A comfortable heat distance meant it was too far away from the plants for optimal lighting.

I could be wrong though. :)

Here is the only thread I found relevant from google searches of this site:

In a word? Heat!

Stay Safe! :blowbubbles:
