Which bulb to get?

[INDO247]

Sup Fam, i'll be starting my 1st grow and was wondering which bulb will be best suited for my grow. I want to produce big fat buds. My grow room measurements are 3x3x5, lighting will be powered by a 400w cooltube lighting from HTG supply. Will i be better off with the philips 430w son agro? Or will it be better to get the 400w philips Son-T Plus?

Hilux enhanced spectrum hps from germany. best damn bulb IMHO on the market.

or the eye Hortilux for a second choice. but the hilux kicks ass, hands down.

Another good bulb to try is a CMH http://advancedtechlighting.com/cdmed18.htm.

I posted a very similar thread to this one, and i chose the 400w SON T Plus over the SON T Agro, and guess what happend? They sent me the Agro in error, i rang them and the next day i got my SON T Plus and got to keep the Agro so all in all i had a result lol. I was informed the SON T Plus would out perform the Agro during flower which is what i wanted, however the Agro will out perform the SON T Plus during veg due to having more blue light in it.

I think alot will depend where u are as there are lights available here in the uk that are not available in the usa and vice a versa and depending who u listen to will determine what light u get i think. Whichever u choose shop around tho m8, u will be suprised the difference in price you pay for exactly the same bulb.

I will second Chicken, the Ushio HiLux is amazing. Also, it's designed for use with a digital ballast (it's more capable of the higher frequency output on a digital ballast). All the above, plus Deutchengineering, makes it a win.
thegardendepotinc.com is where I would find mine for a very reasonable price.
