    • WANT THE BIGGEST HIT POSSIBLE?? Vaporize! Because of the cool mist nature of vapor that the Vaporbrothers produces you will be able to take bigger hits and hold them longer than with any bong, iced or otherwise. Take the challenge, but do it sitting down! Support GrowKind by buying Vape Pens and Vaporizers from Vaporwarehouse.

    yes you can grow with it, but it puts out way too much heat and not enough lumens for the wattage it uses... and the spectrum is off just a bit... but people in the 70's used them cause they cost a lot less than the HPS 's of the time or the MH's of the time. They put out A LOT OF HEAT.


    Get you a HPS(high pressure sodium)or a MH( metal halide)..cause when it comes to HID efficiency is the key..

    I found this on a site... Mercury Vapor 175w = 8000 400 watts = 20k lumens...so i dont think they work too well
