Well I apologize. I do not want to look bad to you and I wouldn't want you or anyone else to get all offense on me.
I have posted I don't know shit about lighting so I buy the best.
Please don't rip me a new one. I will watch it the rest of the day. I promise.

The only way to ensure correct answers on debated subjects is to set up tightly controlled tests and find out yourself.

I have vegged under halides, sodiums, T5s. I like the stoutness you get under a halide but honestly they can all get the job done. I wouldn't veg anything too tall with T5's but I had some 4-5 ft tall moms under them with ok growth at the bottom. For flowering I have used a lot of brands. I prefer Hortilux but Solarmax and Maxlumens are so close you can barely tell the difference. I am using some BadAss and so far let down but may be some low temps I battled no long ago. Thats over and I'll know soon. Sorta. I started early flowering under the Hortilux blue and mid under the BadAss. Finishing under the 10k SunPulse. So I won't know for sure how much I disliked the BadAss but I'll be getting more Hortilux next. If I had to only run one light, 1000 Hps Hortilux would be an easy choice!

I'm afraid that's how every stoner would already describe their experience.

I run 'Dutch' style---no hoodz.....
and I rotate my MH/HPS from one side of the room to the other every week--
there is some truth to the whole 'mix' concept of light spectrum....
now anyone want to discuss 'reptile' bulbs...?.......to help the finnish-

The Finnish know how to help themselves, it's the Swedes I'm concerned for.

Wow. You are right. Looks like I will need to wire the dual 600 for that.
I really appreciate you letting me know.

no ones running the plasma lights yet? im super excited to see those in veg, hard to drop 1400 on it though. ive always tried to add 10-20 percent blue light, anything over seemed to get fluffy, no solid data to confirm that, just a stoned observation one evening. any 600w fanboys? ive been all over the wattage spectrum and these days i only run 600's. i feel i can cool them much better which allows me to drop them down on my canopy lower than ever. only draw back really is the added hoods, ballasts and bulbs. not to mention the needed amps available to power everything, but if your run much more than 2 600's im sure you have been at that cross road already. i like to run 6 600's in a 8x8 room, being laid off made me cut back to 3 600's in a 4x8 however. sunpulse 3k or 4k i forget, in the center, and two hortilux's on the sides. not sure how i like the sunpulse's for the money, but alot of bulbs are 100+ so..idk. i cant complain with the final product.
