I'm currently running two 400hps in a 6x6 space. I know I'm not getting a good spectrum w/ the bulbs I have. Would appreciate any advice on new bulbs. Thanks
What do you mean about the spectrum not being good? My 400 performs very well with a plain old 400 HPS bulb availble at Home Depot for $20. Your two 400s are covering a pretty large space, what kind of compromises are you making for plants receiving low light levels? How many are you trying to grow under them?
Upgrading to 430 watt specialty bulbs may not do you any good if you have standard 400 watt ballasts, though that's not exactly my area of expertise.
Yeah, I have to ask why you don't think your spectrum is "good"?
The 430's were originally designed to go into the 400 watt ballasts I believe, so that wouldn't be a problem, but I grow strictly with hps bulbs and have no problems.
I have used Hortilux before but I can't provide a comparison between that and a regular HPS. I bought the bulb when I bought my whole fixture and I'm not using that setup anymore so it never had to be replaced. Anyway, if you are looking for names to research Hortliux is a respected one.
My first troll on the boards! And he even posted to agree with me. How nice. Dont have enough to do maintaining your psychotic reign over hempcultivation, you freak?
Dude, Read your fucking sig line and maybe do a little looking in the mirror. I am a longtime member at ICmag. You are not.
Plainsman... I don't know where you are coming from with this crap nor do I or I suppose anyone else really cares. Your methods are as Cap says... you are a troll and that crap is just not wanted or tolerated here.
Cap... I don't care where you or anyone else has been... it's all about NOW! I love to read your threads and have learned much by your participation... Keep up the good work... you're tops in my book.
