How many runs/grows?

[Noonin NorCal]

I was just wondering how many runs you guys do before swapping out HPS bulbs? I had a bulb blow out and not sure how many grows we did with it previously, but it was a pain in the ass swapping out and putting in a new one. And was wondering about experiences with a Digilux 1000 watt HPS High Output Digital Bulb. I think it ran about 70$ at the local hydro shop.
Thanks

Three flowering periods max.

Sorry, i forgot to mention. The current strain we are running is a solid 8 weeks. more like 59-60 days... Sounds about right every 3 runs

And the correct answer is,,three flowering periods.Congrats to those that know

Mine run 68 Day flower cycles. I'll swap out every cycle or every other cycle.

Bulbs are cheap investment for optimal growth.
