Work2much- Stick around Buddy, Just for you, I'll throw a few coco pots in my next grow.
How could I resist such a sincere plea to try their methods! LOL! You coco guys win. I'll try a few. Who knows, I might be a coco guy one day too!!!
Yourcorpse- Well, short answer is: efficiency. To be honest, there was a time when you couldn't pay me to put down my beloved 1000 Watters. But that day has past. I love 600watters more and more as my grow style evolves; I used to grow bigger plants, but then I changed to a "canopy man" were all my energy is dedicated to the top third only. The quality of my finished product is better, and more uniform as a result. (only the best for my patients)
The quality to quantity ratio is much higher with 600s. Sure I yield less overall, but I get many more "big/dense" buds. Which to me, is much more valuable.
Without the need for more light penetration, anything brighter then 600, is just a waste of electricity (not to mention canopy width) in my opinion.
more higher quality bud+ more canopy space+ less electricity = more efficiency. (for my grow technique at least)
SilkyJhonson- Thanks for the tip Buddy. I'm just experimenting right now. There's many reasons why the setup you suggested wouldn't work for me personally. -Preference mostly- but also price, temp (maybe not with water-cooled), gas lines, water lines, floor space, ceiling height, fuzzy logic compatibility, cost to benefit ratio, looks, and all this even when I'm not sure I want to keep doing it. I like to start small, and only invest if I know I'll always use it; like an environmental controller, I can always use that.
You'll like my setup bro; it's small, (relatively)cheap , upgradeable, productive, and it won't screw up my environment. Pros and cons for everyone I guess. Great products you mention though.
Peace and thanks for the responses everyone. I enjoy all the questions, comments, opinions and encouragement form this wonderful community.
