When to Replace High Intensity Discharge Light Bulbs

图片
What is a High Intensity Discharge (HID) Light: High Intensity Discharge is an overarching term for a gas-discharge light. They are the oldest type of electrical light Among the common types of HID lights are mercury vapor, low and high pressure sodium and metal halide lamps. Other less common variants include ceramic metal halide and xenon short-arc lamps. HID lamps produce light by sending an electrical charge or "arc" between two tungsten electrical conductors (electrodes) and through an ionized gas (also known as "plasma") which is housed inside the bulb. HID lights require ignition which is typically provided by a voltage pulse or a third electrode (an additional metal part) internal to the bulb. Once lit the electrical arc begins to evaporate the metal salts inside the bulb which significantly increases the luminous power of the bulb while simultaneously improving lighting efficiency. HID lighting requires a "warm-up" period because the lighting

3’ x 3’ grow tents are a perfect size to grow 4-6 plants full-size plants from veg to flower.

To work out what size of LED grow light you need, you first need to calculate the exact size of your grow space. The Size Of Your Grow Space When growing cannabis, a good rule of thumb is to use a minimum of 50 watts of light per square foot of grow space. We want to flood our plants with light ( food ) so that they have lots of energy to produce big potent buds. Therefore, we need to calc

HOW TO MAXIMIZE CANNABIS YIELDS

Increasing light intensity While the period of darkness is almost universally known to be crucial for successful flowering of cannabis, awareness of the importance of light intensity during flowering is somewhat lower among novice growers. Quite simply, the intense light of the daytime feeds the photosynthesis reaction that produces sugar for flower growth, while uninterrupted darkness allows the production and release of the flowering hormone florigen, without which cannabis plants simply do not flower. Therefore, maximising light intensity is one important option when it comes to maximising yield. The typical  indoor grow tent  light is a 600W high-pressure sodium ( HPS lamp ); if this is switched out for a 1000W, the lumens available to the plant increase from around 90,000 to around 135,000. Some growers report their yields almost doubling after switching to 1000W lamps. It is also possible to switch to using two 600W lamps instead of one, which may allow for improved light co

What's the difference between CFL and T5?

When stealth is a growers biggest concern, fluorescent grow lights are the undisputed king. They make very little heat compared to  HID(High Intensity Discharge) lights  and LEDs, they tend to make a smaller impact on your electric bill, and they are much cheaper to get started with. They're also very beginner friendly since they don't require the purchase of secondary parts (such as an exhaust fan) in many cases and can be setup easily. I actually hooked up my first fluorescent lights with nylon rope I had lying around! But all is not well in this stealthy, new-grower-friendly world... There are two types of frequently used  fluorescent lights  struggling for superiority, each with their own benefits: they are the  T5 fluorescent light , and the CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp). Today, you'll get the rundown on what's better about each one which will hopefully help you make a decision should the need arise. CFL bulbs: CFL or Compact fluorescent lights ar
