hi guys just found a streetlamp its got all the doings for a lo power setup for the greenery got ballast relay and cap thingy all in its lampbox its a 90w GENERAL ELECTRICS SOX PLUS GIVES OFF 13400 LUMENEMS hunted for some info on net and found this link says that the lamp is high in the yellow/orange spectrum at so many nm s wavelenth check it out a good source for info anyway http://www.lamptech.co.uk/Documents/SO1 Introduction.htm good luck and merry xmas
heres wot the grow room looks like now i been busy this eve VERY BRITE NOW an sox plus 90w lps and two flouro 100w equivelent two of the sox plus would be ideal i think wot u pro s think ?????? have u ever tried this kind ??? well time to chill and have a well deserved spliff and a cuppa
note the funny lines on the pic?????? is it ma camera or maybye its the waves from the nm s coz its all to do with wavelenths too ya know i know that coz i am a radio ham and do all that radiowaves + nanowave stuff so theres a question for the professors amoung us all haha probably ma cam anyway the plant seems to enjoy it she be thinkin wow we moved to oz for summer haha peace man i gotta chill
guys read some of the stuff on this site a great help for getting the rite lites for ur growbox/room/warehouse ha i wish but read it its good info u dont have to read it all but read some ur not doing anythin else anyway r u http://www.lamptech.co.uk/
well we try it anyway it was free but hey man its like looking at the sun wi binoculars when u open the door of the room and hey its like sitting outside but inside ha man im stoned chill guys l8r
well ma lites been doing its stuff plant has plenty of thc crystals on the leaves and smells really pongy the way it should so heres hopin were all smokin will post any further developments when and if they happen soon i hope im dying to c if its anygood
you may have found another good growing lamp... but just cause its really bright doesnt mean its any good... a mercury vapor light will be very bright aswell, but wont grow a plant.. good luck with the LPS
Looks like a real lps to me. They're only little more in-efficient as hps. 90 Watt plus the cf's must be ok for your setup. Maybe you might want to make some kind of reflector for the LPS? Peace.
well thnx guys it seems ok so far o maybe invented some thing new haha well on the lite cover i have aluminium sheet on top for the lite to reflect but havnt got round to putting some tinfoil round the sides yet been too stoned ha but its just nice not too hot but just enough to keep it cozy coz were getting snow over here in uk keep our fingers crossed its gonna be good failing that i have a couple o hps lamps coming soon so they should be ok peace man and stay chilled cool but not freezin cheers paddy merry xmass
forgot to say guys that that large lps lite workd well it was my first success in growing a budding plant we were real stoned and njoyed every day at work haha these dayz the greenstuff roolzzz now THANKS TO THIS SITE WE HAVE LEARND ALOT <<<<<<<<<<< KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS TA MUCH >>>>>>>>>> HASTA PRONTO MUCHACHOS
just a thought, but it seems that the high vs low pressure sodium lamps in the size. with a larger tube, the LPS could be filled with the same amount (by weight) of inert gas as a comparable HPS bulb with (hence, low pressure) a lower internal pressure pushing out on the bulb. my guess is that this lead to lower manufacturing expenses per bulb. I'm just spitballing, though
Low pressure sodium lamps are nearly useless for growing. Their emission is almost completely yellow, which is a low PAR wavelength range. High pressure sodium lamps have a broader spectrum extending down into reds in the high PAR range, which is why they work well. It'll do something, but the fluorescents are doing most of the growing in your setup. Also, low pressure sodium lights emit more lumens/watt than high-pressure sodium. Yellow is rated very favorably by the lumens scale... which is why it's not a very good scale to use for grow lights.
