12 Volt HID Lights

Just found this from a car magazine, bit expensive but might be worth a look for stealth growers, would be great to run from a solar/battery set up.

Whether or not they are good depends on their spectrum, "daylight" only applies to the way we perceive the light, not how the plants see it.

They look like they have alot of blue spectrum in them... I was reading on Overgrow the other night that HPS lights do not have as much blue spectrum in them as they could to flower as blue helps grow bigger bet buds.... cant remember to much but this is why a mix of HPS and MH grow nicer buds then just a HPS....

 

Shit i just seen the price thats insane

 

Cheers

Thats what a Son-T-Agro HPS is good for AFAIK. I wouldnt use a normal HPS to bud without an MH but I will be using a Son-T-Agro [they change spectrum at intervals].

I got a 400w HPS ballast etc and I got it 2nd hand and it has had 2 grows so i think its time to replace lamp can i get one of those sun t agro 430w HPS ? The extra 30w of blue would be the shit

I think it may have a normal 400w son t atm...

I think the blue makes for tighter internodes hence MORE BUDS

Good question - Id ask your friendly hydroponics dealer.

Hey guys,

 

I used a 400watt AgroSunn Mh for veg grow which grew very thick stalks and very short internodes. Then for bloom i turned on my 430 hps and used both for a better spectrum, I noticed internodes became further apart when i started using Hps but plants started budding real fast.

Let me know if hey make a SuntAgro 430watt becuse im still using my first bulb that came with light.

The 430W Son-T-Agro and the 400W Son-T-Agro are the same bulb. Phillips label it a 400watter but its actually about 430W.
