Hi guys, I need help with learning about the best material to use in reflecting the light (in my grow room). I need it not only because it helps the plants to get more light but because the costs in light and electricity consumption is frustratingly high, and I plan on getting the best for my...

I did all this research just to find out recently that the wattage stated on these vendor's products aren't the true wattage of the lights at all many times being an entire 1/6th or lower. This really confuses me now. Can more experienced growers please give me insight into this? How is this so...

Hi lads! I was thinking about buying this light for my plants and I am not sure it is a good idea in terms of costs, efficiency, number of plants to grow under one of these, and the rest of questions I might have in this crazy detailed and confusing importance and complexity of grow lights for...

I'm helping a few people grow so I decided to create a series of infographics rather than overwhelm them with unnecessary technical details. This one is a comparison between HPS, standard LED lights and the new quantum boards (Samsung LM301B). Can anyone confirm or refute the numbers, please...

Hi! I planning to buy a new LED. I have to in my head right now Im looking for one with a good pricing. I was thinking about mars hydro tsw2000 and I saw a philzon cree cob 1500w. The mars hydro pulls 300w from the wall the philzon 320 and also the Philzon is cheaper by about 30-40$. Only...

Hi this sound stupid but if my mars hydro is 600w but the true watts used is 100 is that gona mean that if Im able to get 1g/w its gona be based on the true watts?? (100g)

hey RIU community. Got some questions concerning my useage of power on my first grow. I have done plenty of reading on this and have pretty much came to the conclusion that as long as I don't have some outrageous setup and as long as I pay my power bill on time, I shouldn't have any issues with...

So im only growing one plant and i have a 150 watt hps in my 2x2x4 grow tent. Im hoping its enough but id like it to have more than an oz. Should i add cfls? If so how many? Or is it good enough?

Is it better to lower your light's wattz for better temps, or to have more wattz and just deal with the heat?

the title pretty much explain my question. i am trying to buy a 1000w hps light with a 120v/240v switchable ballast. but my house is a 20A 110v. am i going to have a problem with that? appreciate for help.

Ladies and gentlemen, place your bets... :weed:

Opinions?

Alright, just so no one jumps on me, I'm NOT asking how to achieve that ratio (1g/watt). I've read enough to know that as a newb, if I can even get half a gram per Watt, I'm doing pretty good. My confusion is in how this is calculated with so many different grow styles. For instance, let's say...

Already have a 600w and a 400w in a room im planing to make a flower room. Making a seperate room strictly for vegging dont want to go to crazy on the watts im putting out. Im in a 3 bedroom house and so for electric bill around 80-100 $, which isnt bad just dont want to go crazy. LEDs i hear...

I'm on a low budget for a while, one of the last things I need to finish is 2700k CFL's. For some reason the 250W is cheaper than the 200W. But my lamps say max 200W. Will the 250W bulb work on the 200W max lamp? I am assuming the 250w CFL will work on the lamp but the output will only be...

I have this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001UV6P9I/ref=s9_simh_gw_g86_i2_r?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=112AM6WWZ4NRRYPMPYTM&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2079475242&pf_rd_i=desktop Would it be to my benefit to add foil/Mylar in the fold above the bulb to reflect the light down?
