After all my research I've come to some conclusions but I'm still feeling a bit unsure, I'd really love to get some expect advice from you guys.
My setup is 4x4ft - My budget $400.
Here we go..
LED
+ Low Power, Red + Blue light good for end-bud development
- Poor canopy penetration, mixed reviews on final results
HPS
+ Proven to work
- Higher power usage, Put off by the thought of buying a new bulb, Digital Ballasts give off radio frequencies which is a problem.
CMH
+ Low Power, Read great things about the light these give off, early harvests + huge nugs!
- When the light blows, it blows! Glass over the nugs -nothx, bulbs are expensive
With the HPS is it worth getting the Dominator XXXL or similar with a 600w bulb, or is it better to have 2x400w?
How strong are the radio signals given off of the ballasts? I understand the wire acts as an antenna, I don't want any issues with the cable companies.
How often do the CMH bulbs really blow?
Are the budget LEDs strong enough to give real results?
I'd love to hear some feedback from anyone, please correct me if my advice is misinformed.
Peace and love
