I've heard the same... New bulb every rip!I think its better to buy cheap bulbs and replace them often. If you can afford to replace expensive bulbs often then thats even better.

Copy bulbs to me are a fire hazard also I wouldn't want my bulbs blowing in the middle of a grow in flower always have a back up. Happy growing all.I think its better to buy cheap bulbs and replace them often. If you can afford to replace expensive bulbs often then thats even better.
I get mine off eBay for £28 with no problems if you pay any less I wouldn't trust it.
I don't,, I use for 2 rips then I buy a new 1.. I'm used to paying around here 90$ 130.00 for a new bulbThis is my 1st grow and went with IPower equipment. Replacement 400watt bulbs are $10 shipped which will allow me to replace bulbs every grow. I would be more hesitant to throw away $65 bulbs used once.
I went with powermaxx 600watt,, & yescom 1000wattThis is my 1st grow and went with IPower equipment. Replacement 400watt bulbs are $10 shipped which will allow me to replace bulbs every grow. I would be more hesitant to throw away $65 bulbs used once.
With eye hortilux,, you can use bulb for a entire year before it loose spectrum. Well it's supposed to work that wayThis is my 1st grow and went with IPower equipment.

Thats crazy! I thought we are supposed to change hps bulbs every 16 days. Ive been doing it that way for years. Recently i had to pick up an evening job just for bulb replacement money. Worth it though!!!!With eye hortilux,, you can use bulb for a entire year before it loose spectrum. Well it's supposed to work that way

Stop being stingy MF, I change mine every second Sunday. They say god took Sunday off when making the universe but that's some bullshit, he just needed time to change the big bulb in the sky. If its good enough for god its good enough for me!Thats crazy! I thought we are supposed to change hps bulbs every 16 days. Ive been doing it that way for years.

What do you run & what do get per g/wStop being stingy MF, I change mine every second Sunday. They say god took Sunday off when making the universe but that's some bullshit, he just needed time to change the big bulb in the sky. If its good enough for god its good enough for me!
I used to run Philips or hortilux bulbs for flowering when I used HPS but I use LED these days. gpw around 1.5-1.6, best was 1.67 but I just try to get to 8oz for every 2x2 of flowering space, sometimes I don't make it and sometimes I do.What do you run & what do get per g/w
And mineThat's my weapon of choice for hps .
So what bulbs do you buy and how often do you replace them? I've had problems with my bulbs breaking after a few months.I think its better to buy cheap bulbs and replace them often. If you can afford to replace expensive bulbs often then thats even better.
I like the Philips DE HPS. I usually run them for two flowering cycles or 6 months.So what bulbs do you buy and how often do you replace them? I've had problems with my bulbs breaking after a few months.
Hortilux bulbs. Generally, I do a walk around of the local grow shops in my area and see what's sitting dusty, and bulbs are dusty often. I almost always get them at a reduced rate (about the same or less than on Amazon, without the risk of shipping disasters). I replace my bulbs every three quarters or so (or about twice every year and a half). If I was bringing in money from my product, I'd be replacing them twice per year.So what bulbs do you buy and how often do you replace them?

If i could get the double ended philips, i would. I ordered 4 of them and they came broken every time. Ended up going with the Ushio double end. Very nice bulb and happy with it. Double enders dont need to be replaced nearly as often- that was a major reason i switched to them.So what bulbs do you buy and how often do you replace them?

I saw this post and didn’t see the age, I was looking for this, I just switched to 1k de and was going to run the master power or whatever they call it now. I’m still looking...I like the Philips DE HPS. I usually run them for two flowering cycles or 6 months.
