hi i found a hps 70w light and ballest ect in a skip on the way home from the shop about ten mins ago i have looked it up on ebay and this is the same bulb as it has http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PHILIPS-PRO-S...ameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting but it seems an orange light tho ? is this any good i have an 200w envrolight but need more light now that it is budding thanks
Im not really sure what your asking, but Ill try to answer. When you are in the stages of flowering you want to have a "warm" spectrum ie: 2700K color temperature. Most, if not all, HPS lights emit this spectrum of light. Now for one plant this 70w HPS is pretty much the bare minimum, as it only emits around 5600 lumens. My question to you is, what color temperature is your env. light?
its a blu spec but i dont have the cash 4 another the hps i have seems to b an orange colour? is this normal?
ok thanks i think i will buy a new bulb as there anly 4pounds i would like to get another hps but cant afford it at the mo so i will just try with what ive got thanks for your help
