PPS: I think Odin has more that one of those 12x12 planters under the light. It says he's got 4. So that's 4 square feet under 150w, so about 35w/square foot. Only 8w more than yours. So you guys should compare Gs/w.

They may. But they may not in this funny fluro grow.
Let me explain this may be difficult to understand.
Let's assume the pH of the liquid nute is pH 4 which is pretty acidic.
In reality its not that bad, but still we assume pH 4.
The water I use is about pH 7. And I mix 3x 5 ml of nute with 2l of water.
The mix ratio of 1:133.
This dillutes the acidic nute and raise the pH from 4 to 6.3 or so.
(log scale, ratio of 1:1000 would allmost produce pH 6.8)
The pH of THIS GROWs soil is approaching 5.5 already.
I have very acidic soil already, so adding nute/water combo of pH 6.3 would raise the pH.
LOL. Funny grow it is!
PS:Maybe so. But then again, this is a weed damn near unstoppable.
Maybe someone cares for a hydrogrow inside a nuclear fission reactor?
(now you know the real story about Chernobyl, the roots of the grow clogged up the cooling pipes)
PPS: Oops stoner mistake.
Look at my screen from his post :
The part about the 4 plants exactly falls off my screen.
Still I wanna see this HPS lover's grams/watt score.
After all if I can do 0.5g/w then he can never beat me by much more then factor 2.
Bring it on HID guys!
