right now I have a box with daylight CFLs, gets kinda warm though
would like to add an LED for flowering though
i have found that the ikeas cold highlumen lights are more than enough for tomatoes
for capsicums i think they barely DO
specialy the rarer ones dont seem to grow properly with those
apparently those are 5W lights
not 7W but anyway
yeah, i'm reading the feedback now
just so long as it doesn't burn my house down
that curve is very very optimal for capsicums
damn
i kind of want those now
sadly they are in ali not on proper sites
🎲
roll it boyo!
i hate aliexpress so much for not having paypal option
i should really stop using my debit card on there
thankfully HPS lights dont cost that much here
well the 150w sodium vapor lamps*
What? That is not a lot at all.
Friend of mine bought that kind of gear for thousands of euros.
he probly got proper stuff
as in 1000w lamps
proper widearray dentted reflectors
and such
not cheapo thinmetal reflectors with cheap transformers and 150w lamp
i glued space blankets to plywood for my reflectors
step 1 from cheaposhit decent cooltube reflector set costs 80 or so euros
yeah yeah proper plasma-cycle lamps cost like 1200 (professional tier stuff) or so
those lamps what simule sun almost perfectly
you get proper tanning if you work under them
and cancer if you use them without the uv-c filter
and ofc good quality elektronic ballasts cost arm and leg
even from china
just the magnetic ballast,reflector,150w lamp and cables cost that 68 euros + postage
youd need rig it to roof yourself etc
sold my HPS when i had to start paying for electricity 😮
i dont have that problem for next 4 years i think
as long as i live in this apartment
