So what we are asking of you is Reply back with your opinions (lets try to stay within the given options unless you have a Far Better Product we should be considering. *(trying not to have Voting sessions. however we are trying to make sure all is fair in the test.
So lamp and reflector needs to be chosen for the 1kw side. This is the only variable in the test grow.
Please reply back with lamp and reflector, Main thoughts above.

Also Please Pass this email around and to the forums we are wanting as much input so no one can say we chose bad components.
Please Note Site page will be updated very shortly with the start of the test grow.. (im still making sure all else is good)
Email addy for test grow will be gone at the end of the test grow.
 
How will the results be viewed.
we will harvest the plants at end of life and weigh all plant mater including fruit then fruit alone and photo the fruit side by side to see if there is visible difference then we will do blind taste test. (as we feel cmh will provide more flavor and nutrients in the fruit as its full SPD)


Compare the two spectral distribution of the Philips MasterColor HPS-Retro White
Vs Standard High Pressure Sodium and can see the difference in Energy emitted.

We will update this site with all Relevant information and matching specs for the products chosen
