Awesome 5000joints, think we'll need to change your name though to 4999 joints as I am sure you going to have to pass a joint sooner or later, lol.

Fantastic set up, looks dialled in without CO2 anyway. Welcome to the 6 Double!!!

Ive put up alot of pics in my grow journal but Ill put some up here too I guess. I run 2 - 600w lamps in the flower room and 1- 600w lamp in the veg room. I have a light mover for 2 lamps but I dont have the room to run that here. I have a computer to monitor temps and humidity. I have the whole CO2 setup but cannot use that here either.

Whats the average price you guys pay for a 600 bulb in the US or anywhere else you are at? Here I pay max 25 euros per 600.

$85 for the digilux and usually $ 129 for the hortilux, but greners has it for $105 with a instant rebate. I haven't found better prices than they have.

At the grow shop I buy from, I pay $67 for an Eye Hortilux (after a routine 20% discount).
Will be buying a new one on my next run up to the grow shop and will set aside my current bulb as a spare (with only 2 grows on it).

The pyrethrin spray killed all the living thrips!
Now just need to maintain it until harvest, and be more diligent during my next grow.

My new favorite local hydro shop carries a variety of bulbs.
Hortilux - $110
Sunmaster - $79
Son T Agro - $59
No name from China - $20 or 25, I can't remember for sure

He started carrying these Chinese bulbs that supposedly are enhanced spectrum so people have an inexpensive option for a spare bulb. I have one now in a 1K and a 600 since they're so cheap.

Yeah, about $25 cheaper than I've ever seen. That's a killer hook up.

I was told Hortilux puts fixed pricing on their bulbs so shops have to be careful of discounting it or they can lose their deal with Hortilux to sell it.

That's what I've read, too, about the price fixing.
From what I understand, the only way around it is to not advertise the actual selling price.
I talked with the store owner for a bit on my first purchase when I also was blown away by the price he rung up on the register.
I don't know how long he'll keep selling them at that price, but he says he's committed to keeping the price as low as he can for as long as he can.
The other grow shop where I *used to* purchase from sells the same bulbs for the full MSRP of $105.
So I feel very lucky!

a little note from cheaphydroponics about the bulbs


A notice regarding EYE Hortilux Bulb Pricing
EYE Lighting has recently implemented MAP Pricing which requires all retailers to use M.A.P. as their advertised prices or they will no longer distribute their products to non-conforming retailers. Listed below you'll find the Minimum Advertised Price of said Hortilux brand products. To see their enforced lower Minimum Sell Price please click buy or add to basket and our shopping cart will display EYE Lighting's Minimum Sell Price.

The price gets better if you call them.

Say "map" over & over in a random rythm for like 20 or 30 seconds and see if it's meaning fades away for you like it did me...
