Hortilux bulb worth it?
The Hortilux bulb being discussed is a great light.
It has a Kelvin temp of 10K.
They dont make them much brighter than this.
MY only concern, is that during flower, while you will have the red spectrum that you need for flower, you will have the blue spectrum overlapping the red spectrum in intensity.
This is simply not how MJ best responds to light in flower.
Plants that flower in red spectrum need primary red spectrum. This type of bulb will deliver the red spectrum but it will be in an unbalanced ratio that is contrare to what MJ grows under the best.
While this may or may not affect flower size, flower density, flower propogation and propensity, I suspect it will affect flower potency.
I have studied the light spectrum and MJ reqquirements in depth...and I have yet to find anything that even remotely suggests this strong blue wave overlap will do anything other than promote vegetative growth...not flower.
I can essentially for what ever reason, buy any type light on the market...and I wouldn't veg without quality CFL's and flower without a red spectrum dominate light source.
But we all have our preferences...and this is just mine.HARDDON Reviewed by HARDDON on . Hortilux bulb worth it? As the title says, is it worth the extra cash? Or will the stock one work fine. insidesun bulbs. Rating: 5
