Hps super bulb??

I was askin my hydro shop bout the hps super bulb and he told me theres really know such thing..but i read that the hps super bulb has the actual light in it that you need for flowering stage...he said get a reg. Hps ang ill be fine using that from day 1..basically im askin get the super bulb??is it worth it??or reg. Hps???please i dont waste ne more money

not sure what you mean by super bulb maybe those new duel spectrum jawns but you will be fine with just the hps bulb

yea like 16% blue light then it changes orange n red or sum shit..idk so hps reg. would do??wut watt??im only growing 4 plants or so..

yea i have used them i now always grow with them but just the regular enchanced spectrum little bit more but worth the extra in my opinion and a mado if ur only going to use hps for the veg but think i have seen the super hps bulb and its a little more money but i think it has the same bang as what i use a horilux enhaced spectrum but there are cheaper ones like htg sells one that is supposed to be the same thing just cheaper

hortilux super hps all the way!!

lol thanx..enhanced=super bulb??or close to equal??

Another case of sensationalism in advertising.

All HPS bulbs emit roughly the same spectrum of light across the board, as do MH bulbs, whether its made by Phillips, GE, or Sylvania, or whoever.

There are also what are known as "Conversion Bulbs", basically an HPS bulb with an added filament that emits a Bluer/whiter light. They also make basically the same thing in an MH version. These are OK if you only have one type of ballast.

Concern yourself with the lumen output. I tried both the GE (Chromalux) and the Phillips version. I was disappointed with both. They have around 12K less lumens than thier counterparts. I can't say that they won't grow good dope since I didn't bother to use them for the entire grow. But I do know that you lose alot of light with them. They are touted as the BEST light for every stage.
Are they really?

I do know that given the choice of 400w bulbs, I'd rather run a 50K MH light for an entire grow rather than a 30k dual spectrum bulb any day


Now I HAVE seen a SonAgro bulb advertised, that purports to be 430w. That MIGHT offset he light loss, but I couldn't say, never having one in my hands.
