Hey guys,
I have completed 2 successful grows with a 400w system. When I built the room I was running low on money and got a OptiLUME bulb since it was 40 dollars and the Hortilux was 100 at my local shop.
Specs on the OptiLUME are:
Shape: ET18
ANSI Ballast: S51
Temp: 2,000K
Lumens: 50,000
Life: 20,000 Hours
I couldn't really find anything about how this compares to a Hortilux. Now I don't have much extra cash but I was wondering if it would be wise to spend it on a Hortilux bulb upgrade? Could it really make that much difference? I plan on flowering 6 plants this time instead of 4, so I'm worried this cheap OptiLUME might not support all 6 very well.
Thanks a lot!
