Howdy I'm just doing some research about setting up a subterranean (semi-cellar/concealed cupboard) arrangement for a hydro setup and due to the slightly limited height I can use, HID/Na lights seem a bit OTT for me, so I'm considering banks of fluoro tubes close together (about 500 W worth) on the walls and ceiling of this cavity (BTW, I will ventilate it). Should I use the 5500 K daylight (light blue) for the vegetative stage and should I use either the 3200 K warm white or those mauve growlights (don't know what the colour temp of those is) like the Sylvania Gro-Lux, as used in aquariums? I might also investigate the use of compact fluoros on a string of batten hold…

There's a new one just hit Australia of 200watt with a seperate small blue ballast (about 5cm *10cm*4cm) that suppose to be better than a 600 watt HiD. The 125 watters and less have a ballast in the bulb mounting. They come in two flavours 6400K (blue spectrum) and 2700K (red spec) I can't give the links, do your own search. I can't really give them a %100 stamp of approval as I have only had them for less than one month BUT I can say I have had marked growth in that t…

I have heard two schools of thought on this topic, so i am interested to see what you guys have to say. Which type of reflector is best for 600w hps lamps?? Vertical lamp position or horizontal? China hat or winged type? I have heard arguments for each style of shade. What do you guys think? Your practical experience out weighs theory any day. Cheers
