125W ENVIROLITE Grow Lamp/ Light - 6400K Veg - New on eBay, also Hydroponics, Plants Seeds Bulbs, Garden Plants, Home Garden (end time 27-Nov-08 23:19:42 GMT)

from an expert point of view would this be an ideal bulb to use for veg stage? it doesnt say what voltage it uses or if it needs a ballast so i know little about this item. i want to get it to try it out but not until i know a little more about it first. there is lots of info but its all about payements and not about the actual bulb itself.
i grow tired of buying the wrong bulbs at a high cost so this time im asking the experts on here

i found the reason for my last crop growing too tall after a LOT of investigation, it was because i was using the growlux 400w for veg stage which is high in the red and yellow spectrum and blue is needed for high veg growth but i want the opposite this time for my next grow.
Very short and very bushy plants is what i am looking for this grow so i am looking for a light that is high is the blue spectrum and low in the yellow spectrum but with a medium red.
any advice plz, thanks peeps
im not an expert but ive got experience,so ill say do yourself a favor and check out the spectral graph on the box or go into the hortilux website, for the mh eye hortilux blue 6500 k its got more red green and yellow than standard hps mh alltogether in one lamp from my research there is no other lamp with this high of k and the rest of the spectrals all together its got 29,000 lumans 400w, also mine is a 400w and supplies a 15 by 15 room!! ive used standard mh and during veg its not even close to this!! its a proffetional lamp,its 17 to 24 percent higher than standard mh and hps together,combo, your plants will use it reds ect during flower and blues during veg ect,, you cant go wrong with this one its expensive but worth every penny,if you want to know more ask and ill give you more info on it if your interested,cherokee
