Hortilux bulb worth it?

For flowering, what is the best BULB "red" on the market? If blue and red are shared with a horti I wonder if there is a bulb as good as a Horti but is for flowering only?

read thr thread again :)

The two best MH and HPS bulbs on the market are Hortilux and Agrosun.

In otherwords is it more beneficial to have the mh/flouros and the hps because of more light in the frequencies needed being generated specifically by the different bulbs than all of them just by the Hortilux?

mark to awnser your question,im using a 400 watt eye hortilux mh blue and running it with a extra sun mh hps combo ballast with a aluminum winged reflector,so if i may reply to your question about eye hortilux mh blue,you should see the graph for this lamp? its got the most combo of spectrums made,blue,violet,green, orange, red,yellow,and more than standard hps by far,the one i have is almost an exact duplicate to natural sunlight,you have 24% more than standard mh spectrum 6500k blue and 24% more than standard hps all combined into one eye hortilux mh blue lamp!!! it is abslolutly incredible how strong it grows them and how fast and thick,and now im flowering and the buds are what you would expect outside,yes its that good,people say that theyve never seen buds this big indoors ohnestly untill this technology!! its got 29,000 lumans because testing told them specteral energy is far more important than high lumans,so with this amount of lumans verse the specrtal energy we cant beleive how big the flowers are in 2 weeks they are very dense also avarage 3 inchs high and an inch and a half wide in 3 weeks and very dense and sticky even the leaf is worth using weve still got several weeks of flower to go,this is a medical legal grow for i and my wife,northern lights,strait indica,and skunk 1,they were over 6 feet tall in 4 to 5 weeks,so does this give you an idea how well the combo of higher than average spectral energy from mh and hps is combined into one lamp?? its worth every penny trust me $125,if you look through high times mag ever?? theres not a bud picture in there that looks better than our flowers rite now, ohnestly we cant wait to see the final outcome in flower size they just continue to stack fast and very dense!! so far the way it looks we probly will get average 1 or 2 gram flowers not counting the huge ones,hope this helped ya understand the performance of this one?,cherokee
