Plasma light for extra wattage
Posted: Sun Jan 12, 2014 3:49 am
hi,
I am currently in the process of setting up a new grow room.
I use to grow a few years ago just as a hobby never expecting much with Fluorescent lights and now want to set up I good grow room with a grow tent using LED lights (most likely going to choose California Light Works SS400)
I have decided to get a 4x4 tent and grow 3 to 4 plants in soil. Yes, I know the CLW SS400 is best for a 3x3 area but after much thought I want some space to breath, as in space to put a good size osculating fan as well as a bucket to make my own CO2 etc. And just some extra space to work around in but primarily grow the plants in a 3x3 area in the tent (I would ideally like a 3x4 tent but they don't make those)
So considering I will be using a 4x4 tent, i was wondering if I ever wanted to use a little more than the 3x3 area that the LED light best works with or if I just wanted to add a few more watts just in general, especially durimg bloom, instead of adding some T8 lights or CFLs or whatever that most other people seem to do to add more wattage, has anyone ever had experience or just any knowledge with Plasma lights, in particular the one that hydroponics hut sells?
Also, does anyone have any knowledge on the hydroponics hut LED lights, or is the California Light works SS400 the light that I really should be buying?
Thank You
