Nothing against your lamp but 420 is populated with the least saavy, most prone to group think, anti-science and pro advertiser led dolts than any stoner site ive visited. Theywere Pled's biggest cheerleaders than later banned them. lol clot of greedy half asses in charge there.

Hi all, I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I'm curious if anyone has had any experience with these German Narva HID bulbs:
the Narva NACHROMA (MH) and NATRALOX (HPS)
Here are links to the product page: http://narva-gle.com/nachroma-en.html#nachroma-veg-en
http://narva-gle.com/natralox-en.html#natralox-veg-en

If anyone has used these before, are they considerably superior to a standard Philips bulb? Worth splurging on? Thanks in advance, y'all.
As far as I know all bulbs and ballast are made in China in the same factory. They put name brand on some of them, and other names on the others. I have never had a problem with the no name bulbs, when I use to use MH/HPS, so I don't think there is really much difference, if any at all.

Thanks for the reply, Hotshot.

Okay, good to know. That frees up some capital in my budget, considering the fact that the Narva bulbs are 4-5x the price of no name bulbs and about 3x as much as a Philips bulb.
I'll probably just stick with a Philips bulb for flowering and think about a no-name or a Philips for veg.

Find your local major electrical company (like one's that do large comercial jobs) find their suppliers (their suppliers usually sell to the public, just not at our discounted rate)

**EDIT**
You can find this item legally for under $200 on amazon, under "home improvement" I found it by doing a google search for "metal halide wobble light"
and if you are really interested they come in a 100w and 175w version. HTH
**END EDIT**

But honestly if you are going to be honest and pay for it, your money is far better spent on the proper ballast and reflective hood. Those lights are designed to light hallways, not the most efficient route of MH lighting if you are growing plants.

But hey, I guess it works great if you want to take that other guys suggestion and steal it...ya know I mean free crap always works best I guess, I dunno I just hope you don't steal your supplies from hard working american men, who put in 8 hours of hard work to build America 5 days a week!!
Thanks hope they don't steal mine

Will your plants tell you if you're giving them too much light(not heat)? In veg or flower?
From what I understand you can't give plants too much light, but the plants only need a certain amount for a certain area, if you give more light in that area then it needs, it want effect your plants as far as I know, it just will only produce a certain amount of bud, so you can put to much light on them, but it doesn't hurt the bud, just doesn't produce any more than the maximum amount of light that the plant picks up in a maximum space.. I hope you understand, it is very hard for me to explain. JMO Good luck and happy growing. And I think the answer to your question is NO.
