MH vs. HPS

Which lamp might that be?

^^^That one that Dutch mentioned. It is a little pricey, found it anywhere between 140-150. If you think that you can use the one lamp and not have to buy two, it's a pretty good deal for a Hortilux. From what I've seen those are anywhere from 80 to 100 a pop, and you'd have to buy two of them. Maybe I'll try it on my next grow, but I'm staying with the standard HPS for this remaining grow.

Now HPS lamps: These lamps seemed to be Rating: 5
