How did that Bag of Oranges cross turn out?
After reading this post I went to Amazon to check the price on a 1000w hps on replacing my Eye Hortilux and Wow its gone up $50 in a year. Last year $79 this year $127 + taxes or I can get 2 Vivosun 1000w for $67 + tx hmmmm is the Eye Hortilux that much better? I'll have to go with the Vivosun, I can't justify the cost increase in my grow budget.I keep forgetting to mention and they are almost 2 months old now.
I am running 2 new Ushio HPS 600’s instead of my usual Hortilux Super HPS 600’s.
The corona virus seems to have increased the prices of Hortilux bulbs substantially and i cant get hold of plantlightinghydroponics where they were cheapest.
The Ushios were $55 each on Amazon. Seem to work well. To my eye they have a bit more red and less blue than hortilux. So far the weed harvested has been great but maybe a bit more yellowing than with horties. Likely due to more red leaning spectrum.

It's not available in Canada, Not from Amazon.ca at least. They have a double ender I don't useIm going to recommend the ushio. Maybe more red than hortilux but still more blue than standard hps and the growth has been real good.
I paid $55 each.
Oh how I can relate to this.It's not available in Canada, Not from Amazon.ca at least. They have a double ender I don't useView attachment 991435
Vivosun has lots of products out there and I don't like buying noname brands that have few products for something I need to count on working. I'll have 9 months on the hortilux at the end of this month but I don't plan on flowering again until Sept. So I don't need it yet but if prices are going up that fast maybe its time I bite on the 2 Vivosun bulbs now while they're still afordable.I've been buying vivosun for 4 years never a problem; one time I tried a cheaper brand it arrived more used than the bulb I took out! I think it might have been a plantmax but I'm not sure
Yes indeed, I find it amusing to read American prices then convert to Canadian and re-post Shock is the normal response, How can we afford top live up here paying $30+ for a dozen beer? A cheap $29 dollar US price comes to almost $60 once our 15% tax is added on top ( in Nova Scotia)Oh how I can relate to this.
Lol look at this. I'm trying to get these here. Same but in US is the second link. And they don't ship to Canada.
