makes them grow. keep them as close as possible without burning them/ drying them out. Lights can be closer if plants are kept cool. ie fan or the natural temperature of say an unheated basement. If your only growing a few plants i'd use cfls. Constantly readjusting them can be annoying but you get far far far far far far far better results with the right combo of cfls. You can't have any other bulb for as cheap as they are as close to your plants giving them as much usable light than the cfl. Please try and prove this wrong i beg u
No, you can not use a 150 watt high pressure sodium bulb with a 70 watt ballast.
The 400W high pressure Sodium bulb contains a silver lining inside the frame to give better reflection of light. However, no silver is found inside the bulb.
Yes, high pressure sodium lights will help to grow plants indoors. You can grow tomatos and other plants that need normally need sunlight.
my HP sodium light just quit working. How can I tell if the bulb is out or the fixture mounted on the pole is bad. Hate to pay $35 for a bulb if the fixture is the culprit.
The bulb should be in the red end of the light spectrum. One HID lamp is the high pressure sodium lamp.
A 400 watt Mercury vapor light bulb produces roughly 23,000 lumens. In comparison to a 400 watt metal haloid and or high-pressure sodium, not as good. Metal haliod and high-pressure sodium produces 30,000 lumens.
High pressured sodium is commonly used for different types of lighting, such as the ones used to grow plants inside during the cold weather. The artificial light provides the uv rays in the light spectrum that plants need to grow without needing to be exposed to the sun.
6000 watts should be enough. Good luck!
as long as the sockets for th bulb are the same and it is not a high pressure sodium or metal halide light
You need the appropriate ballast for either of these bulbs to make them light.
28,500 Lumens (approximately) there will be variance for other factors including manufacture.
the pressure ;)
