Re: Bananas and indoor grow lights
Harvey, it is better to have 2 or 3 400 watt lamps than one 1000 watt in
my opinion. It covers a greater area.
Ofcourse this is when you want fast growth, just for overwintering and slow
growth I think you need much lesser wattage.
Also be aware, if you want to use a timer you need special relais to turn the lamps on/off. Not a
normal timer you use in the house wich can burn or stuck.
1000 watt is used by tomatoe growers here in Holland.
I am now trying low-energy lights in my basement. I have 4 bulbs wich
gives me a total of 400 watt, I can't use a normal timer with those either so
i have to look for a special relais to switch them on. Still working on it.
Ofcourse those are not grow-lights but I will see what happens this winter,
it is just an experiment.
