A short discussion on my experiences with a few different cheap HPS light bulbs. From a viewers question Im also showing how I switch out bulbs on my cooltub…
Something I have heard is, you can go cheap on a bulb but change it out
after every grow to keep the lumens high. So say you run a 20 dollar bulb
compared to a 60 dollar bulb it will take you 3 grows to spend 60 dollars
in buls. But you produce more lumens with a fresh cheap bulb every grow
than a more expensive bulb that will lose to many lumens in 3 grows.
Great vid. I’m really digging the new intro. I am looking to run a simular
set up(2 lights and I think the same exact tent). I have a few questions
for ya. How high do your temps get?? Do you run ac?? Is temp concern the
reason why u run 600’s?? I was looking at those exact hoods on htg, but I
am also considering the magnums xxxl. Do u think it is worth the extra
money for the xxxls or should I stay with htg?? Sorry for all the questions
but I believe in finding someone who knows what they are doing and emulate
them. Take care
Funny how folks find anything to critique, when the Cannabis Network does
take off, someone like Tight will be an instant hit. Welcome to The Garden
Hour with your host Mr. Tight.
Seems to be brighter and Im sure it is. May invest in a light meter to know
for sure how much your bulbs have down graded to keep your garden at max
potential. Heard of some bulbs loosing up to 50% after 2 grows. They are 1
of the most expensive parts of the grow so you might as well keep them at
there best effectiveness. Just a waist of power if not. Looking good. .
“You don’t want to have it too tight to the point you can’t get it out and
bust a bulb, then your hood is no good” Great tip, looking out for New
Growers who might make this mistake.
Great video. I like the new intro. I enjoyed this one. I actually have my
HID system on the way so this is very insightful. Glad you still make
videos that can help us new growers out. Thanks Mr. Tight! Btw who are you
rooting for this Sunday?

Was Mr. Loose required to pull the old ones, or did you just do it from
your backside? How many growers does it take?? haha

The new intro is tight! Even watching a simple bulb change video is
exhilarating if it means we get to see some of your beautiful plants! Thank
you

Growing with Mr.Tight! Sounds like an HnG network afternoon gangsta
gardening hour show.
