looks like tropical midday with mine at 1150 and 24 inches away but its a nice 23 c in there so heats not an issue with nite growing an external air, the bulbs are made of quartz glass and very clear, the quality of this kit is undoubtable, just change the bulb and reflector yearly and laugh at your bigger yield, it penetrates lower too so grows the whole plant nuggy even the lower 3rd, I wont go back to 600w for flowering after seeing what this does and its way brighter than a standard 1000w hps u cant believe theyre the same power tbh, imo

Why buy cheap bulbs they're shit man I've used cheapos and you can see the difference big time

Cheap bulbs because unless you're buying from Phillips, Osram or Sylvania for example and getting slightly better quality control at £35-£40 a bulb then they're all the same generics made from the original Phillips Son-T/Nav-T patents.

Nearly all commercial bulbs in UK grow shops are exactly the same, made in exactly the same factory's and etched/boxed with marketing brands all owned by the same people.

Sunmaster.
Sunblaster.
Lumii.
PowerPlant.
Black Orchid.
Sun Lush.
Omega.
Eurolux.

All exactly the same and paying up to 400% more from an original manufacturer doesn't get a bulb that puts out 400% more lumens (both the same 90.000-95.000) or lasts 4x longer (they both last about the same time) so it's pointless paying the thick end of £40 for something I can get for £10-£12.

Straight from the Chinese factory in boxes of 100 they're about £9 each with custom branding, if you buy shit loads they can be had for £4 each.

When you say you can see the difference between a cheap bulb and a proper one what 'difference' you can see is the slight wavelength output variation of each bulb.

Fuck off I ain't gonna fit 4 600's in a 1.2 tent am I ffs

Lol, get a bigger tent ffs!

You'd get 2 x 600's in a 1.2, 3 at a push.

But to be honest how much weed do you realistically think you're gonna get out of a 1.2m tent to justify spending around £400 on a Gavita?




No offence mate but ignoring proper nutrition yet shelling out on expensive professional equipment expecting to get big yields of top shelf gear just seems ridiculous to me.

It's like the Yank mentality of building cars, can't do quality so just throw loads of power at it.

No mate, 2 mins as I typed it off the top of my head.

I've been in the loft swapping the 400w MH over the veggers for a 600w HPS and then mopping out the flowering tent.

You asked me a fucking question so I answered it legitimately.
