I am wondering if anyone has tried the inda-gro induction lights? They sound great but I don't see many reviews on how well they actually perform. Suppose to draw 70% less power.
hey lazyman i thought the plasma lights were the king of output, with reduced wattage can you school me on these if u don't mind.Nope never heard of it, but in my experience, anything that reduces the wattage by x% decreases yield by x% as well. See LED's, Sulphur plasma lights, or todays latest marketing hype light of your choice here.
thanks man, i knew you could break it down for me to understand.Krunchbubble knows more about them, but from what I've read on some university studies they make good supplemental lighting, but not primary. They put out an odd color spectrum, lots of green light and not much red or blue. They are also ridiculously expensive, and though there are newer ones without the spinning magnetron, they are still not very reliable. Basically they're not designed to be used for 12-18 hours a day like we do, and don't put out the colors plants need.
I wonder if there was similar backlash against MH and HPS way back at the start of all this. What pushed indoor lighting techniques? Legal industries or the underground grow scene?
