BEST BULB IN FLOWERING FOR QUALITY AND POTENCY?

[mr roboto]

I get my hortis from http://www.ehydroponics.com/eye-hortilux-1000-watt-super-hps.html?&cid=13............its prob best if your outside of cali kuz sakes tax always sux

 

[Baylife]

Gavitas for the win! Saves money when it's all said and done. But if not then ushio or hortilux....buying cheap bulbs is a ridiculous concept.

 

[Joe Fresh]

i run hortilux, i pay 85 a bulb at the local shop....

but hortilux use to not be compatible with digi ballasts, they have since changed and its now marked on the box that they are compatible with digi ballasts

Solis Tek really look into Solis Tek.

TK:
What are you getting the Agrosun Reds for? ($)
(Seeing 'em @ wayfair.com @ $73.88 free ship.)
Thinking of giving 8 of them a try next round.

EYE=> Lumatek=> Phillips (Gavitas) => Ushio => Might be going back full circle to EYE again, haven't made up my mind.
EYE's engineering you can't beat, parallels GE from the states.

EYE Hortilux bulbs are the biggest rip off there is imo and unless you get their "daylight blue" their MH bulbs are flower bulbs not for veg..

I get Agrosun bulbs cheap but I buy cases at a time

Rip off?
Not partial to any, engineering @ EYE and Phillips are top notch.
Most manufactorers can't compete.
Plus or minus 10 bucks at the door, graphs?

greners has 1kw hortilux for 59.99$...just incase anyone wants to save. I've known to many Americans to use Hortilux...I"m an Ushio man...

 

[caveman4.20]

Hortilux is American , ushio is German ......Germany knows hows to build some shit
Anyone know if there's a German made dual core out there or a flowering metal halide made in Germany



If only Germany reversed engineered better then China we would have better bulbs on the market

 

[Texas Kid]

Ultrasun's are German made and bullitt proof hold up to the digi ballast....I change my bulbs out every 2 flips so they have a max of 130-145 days on them max

Eye Hortilux 1000w Super HPS = 2100k, 145,000 lumens, not rated for digi's
Eye Hortilux 1000w standard MH = 4200k, 120,000 lumens, not rated for digi's
Eye Hortilux 1000w enhanced blue = 5500k, 80,000 lumens, not rated for digi's
Eye Hortilux 1000w E-Start MH = 4500k, 120,000 lumens, rated for digi's

Ultra Sun 1000w HPS = 2000k, 140,000 lumens, rated for digi's
Ultra Sun 1000w MH = 7500k, 100,000 lumens, rtaed for digi's
Ultra Sun 600w MH conversion = 6500k, 57,000 lumens, rated for digi's

Agro Sun super red HPS = 2000k, 146,000 lumens, rated for digi's

I pay more attention to the kelvin color and lumen output than anything else, price is secondary but since i only use Ultra Sun and Agro Sun it ends up being way cheaper than hortilux for a better suited bulb...2000k in flower and 7500k in veg is tits

I thought I saw made in China on ultra sun it's been awhile since I used them though regardless I know u know your shit thanks fir sharing as always

Gotcha, I know EYE fixed the blowing lamps on digis a couple of years ago.
I remember that they couldn't handle the cycling.
Was it the 600w or the 1k's that had the issue?
I luckily never had a Horti blow.
I then started running Lumatek lamps in their digi ballasts, cuz they were rated for I forget the 60,000 cycles the ballasts put out.
Those hortiluxes used to only be rated for magnetic ballasts.

Due here for a lamp swap out, 16 lamps so it can get pricey.
TK you running dig's or e-ballast's?

 

[Texas Kid]

I run Lumatek 1000w digi's and my 1000 MH Ultra Suns say "made in Germany" right on the glass tube itself...I blew up more Horti 600's than 1ks but I've blown them both up a few times

 

[Delerium]

The Ushio red I'm running right now, those are comparable to AgroSun red.
Anyone ever get what they believed to be counterfeit lamps when ordering off the web?

I'm liking ultra sun bulbs more and more

I have tried most lights (not all) and I stand by the Eye horti's. They are just so bright & very reliable.

Brighter doesnt mean better! brighter means more lumens or lux. lumens aint shit, they are only primarily visible to the human eye. now wavelength and spectrum matter dramatically. Tried the Solis-Tek bulbs with GREAT SUCCESS! i read an article on a bong cleaner site, saw the companies instagram of their grows and decided to try their choice. technology changes, read up on it here 420kushclean.com/light-spectrum-cannabis/

not to mention they have a lot more UVB/UVA then any other grow bulbs out there that i researched. they are the ONLY ONE that use IRON FREE GLASS! and yes they are different the moment you fire them up! i wont grow without my Solis Tek every again.

 

[juggernaut]

Where did u get the uvb light/fixture bulb and a good place to order.
This experiment is taling off all the fan leaves and leaves blocking or shading buds.
So I would love to try the same expedient with uvb light and if resin glands go crazy. I will use on both sides the better or favourite of defoliation method or knock.

These lamps blow the Hortilux blue series out of the water with full spectrum lamps. Also cheaper
