The PowerGrower plants are now receiving light from a High Pressure Sodium bulb (HPS) that we swapped out with the Metal Halide bulb. Our ballasts are the electronic/digital type that can support either type of bulb.
We are using the HPS bulb now as the plants (mainly the Cherry Toms) are in the Generative stage and require more red color in their light spectrum for the best flower and fruit growth.
Practicing Hydroponics illustrates and documents the implementation of theory and products available to hydroponic gardeners through a "live" personal grow room. My approach to vegetable gardening in this environment came from research conducted on the internet; through reading books; and the knowledge gained though visits to local stores specializing in hydroponics. I happily share my mistakes and success in order to provide you with how I put theory into Practicing Hydroponics!
