Is power-usage data a reliable way to monitor the condition of a HPS light globe?
CaptainGarystarted grow question 4 years ago
Noticed a fading trend on the 600 Hps power graph. The highest usage the globe was new, the usage since lessens a small amount most days.
Is that a reliable method to monitor the condition of a light globe? Is the gradually-reducing power usage due to globe degrading?
Cheers :)

Yeah, unfortunatley their only good for a year max. The cmh bulbs are good for 2 years or longer with little degradation. Cheers

But if you have a super lumens setting, that will through more lumens than when the bulb was new, for a little while anyways. It's good to use that setting your last run with that bulb. Cheers

Defining “Dry Weight”What is dry weight considered for GD? Any general consensus? Seems subjective and I hate trimming bud and cut off the good stuff and toss larf and not so sexy buds in the trash. It’s usable but I have no need for most of my harvests and tend to grab the high end jewelry and run.Week 13

Aquarium supplies to remove chlorine - harmful?I've been giving my drinking water to my plant, as tap water here is almost pool water (sometimes the amount of chlorine excedes law). She's growing and so is her need for more, that'll become expensive if I keep it up. Are aquarium products that remove chlorine harmful?Other. Other

Dovrei raccogliere tra circa 10 giorni, ho trattato una zona del box con olio di neem per via di un infestazione di ragnetti rossi. Vorrei sciacquare i fiori, ripuliti dalle foglie più grandi, prima di metterli appesi ad essicare per togliere i residui. Come devo procedere? Grz3 years ago
