1000W HPS or 1000W of CFL ?

Sup Oz Stoners!

 

Ok so lets say I set a ceiling usage of 1000W per grow room - If I intend on doing 2 grow rooms - your standard Veg Room and Flower Room setup

 

Obviously say another 60W for getting your clone on and a few hundred more here and there for other devices such as heating and cooling, with these total i don't see it as excessive really so no problems with the pigs - (I'll be waiting anyway )

 

Anyway so lets say I set myself a limit of 1000W for powerdrawn for lighting per room...

 

Supposedly in ebay auctions a 150W CFL "grolamp" produces the equiv of 400W under a HPS bulb

Let's say I get 6 of these 150W CFLs, for a total power draw of 900W, they will produce 2400Ws of equivelant light had a HPS setup been used...

 

2400W eq. HPS vs 1000W HPS real.....

 

2400W equivalent certainly sounds good there would be additional cost of hanging 5 more lights sure, but cost isn't really the issue, nor space to hang them

 

Which is better?

[loylty gets u nothing]

hps all the way

u will need to get the fluro bulbs in very close to canopy

they have there advantages but u cant beat 1000w of hps for penetration

for bud size,for growth and return

all the best
