High-Pressure Sodium Lamps for Cephalotus: Overkill, Use Fluorescents

Alaric asks about 400W HPS (+ halide for spectrum) for Cephalotus, citing YouTuber Pirranhaboy01.

HID Is Extreme Overkill

• Expensive to buy/run; huge heat (Cephalotus hates heat).
• SNW uses 1000W HPS only in sundew greenhouse for winter day-length boost (Pacific NW cloudy).

Better: Fluorescent Shop Lights

• Low power, low heat, excellent results for Cephalotus.
• Simple, effective, affordable.

Piranhaboy01's collection is impressive, but his methods aren't necessary for most growers.
