Does anyone know of a UK Stockist of the 430W Eye Hortilux Super HPS bulb... as I can only find US exporters and the price is around £80.00/ $128.00 inc postage. BUT thats FUCKIN' EXPENSIVE for 1X 400.. sorry 430W bulb !! any help on this matter would be greatly received :) - STELTHY :leaf:

Not much is new today.. I trimmed her a little more and tucked a few more tops under the screen...




She's 1.1M wide :) :) :) and still developing alot of twin cola sites where she has been topped multiple times, I plan to wait until each new top's main stem is pretty thick, and hopefully when the R.H reaches the left hand side of the screen then I will flick the Flowering switch :)


I am "D-E-S-P-E-R-A-T-L-Y" trying to track down a UK stockist for the EYE Hortilux 430w Super HPS Bulb... I will feel well screwed over if I have to spend £90+ on a single bulb... but really want this bulb for the Royal Haze's Flowering Phase.



More updates coming soon - STELTHY :leaf:

Typical !! I found a 430w Eye Hotilux Super Hps on Amazon.. bought it for £80.00 .................and then found out after the fucking bulb is meant for the old school magnetic ballasts.. In digital they will work but Lumen output decreases rapidly down to the bulbs operating a lower frequency. FUCK !!

Then to make matters both better and worse !! ...


I find out about 'Digilux' bulbs which are more or less identical to 'Hortilux' minus the extra 30 watts.. and they are designed to work on digital ballasts with far superior results in both Lumen output and Par !

On the downside.. they are aprox. the same price.. I hope to hell I can cancel the order for the Eye-Hortilux.. or its gonna be an expensive month :( Hmm...

Well on the upside I now know the best bulb to get.. I just hope its not to late :) - STELTHY :leaf:

I had no luck with Alibaba, but did find one on Amazon! But then I found out that the 430w Eye Hortilux + Entire Hortilux range were intended for use on/with old skool magnetic ballasts, due to a different operating frequency.

I have now found the best possible 400W bulb.. and its just a question of finding one at a low/er price. I'll add some more info on this bulb shortly :) - STELTHY :leaf:

Digilux Metal Halide and High Pressure Sodium bulbs are favored by growers because of the wide color spectrum and efficiency. They are engineered for use in digital ballasts and feature enhanced red and orange spectrums (HPS) blue spectrums (MH), better color uniformity, longer bulb life, and less lumen depreciation.



Digilux bulbs are hot start approved and can be used in both vertical and horizontal fixtures. DigiLux lamps offer superior performance compared to traditional metal halide and H.P.S. lamps.



Digilux MH bulbs deliver 25% more energy in the red and orange spectrums as well as 25% more energy in the blue, violet, and green spectrums for the HPS bulbs.

Diglux bulbs are made for digital ballast. I f you have a magnetic ballast this bulb is not compatible.



Below I have added some video's on Digilux Bulbs :-

CHRIST !! I did it I cancelled the 430W Eye Hortilux Super HPS.... and just bought the 400W Digilux HPS for a staggering ............ "£90.92/$145.47 !!!" inc Postage, lol.. Fuck!! that is undoubtably the most expensive bulb I have ever bought !!! I hope its as good as everyone has said. It is good to know that this bulb is almost parrallel to the Hortilux but is actually made for digital ballasts and can hack the boost function as well.

It should arrive in 20 days approx. Thats roughly 3 weeks! so I hope to continue to Veg for those 3 weeks....Unless the R.H fills the screen.. then I will switch to Flower and use my 400W HPS until my new 'Super Bulb' arrives... then I will swap the original 400 for the new Digilux version :)

Hope to add some new pics soon - STELTHY :leaf:

Its been a stressful day so far.. but I am pleased to have sorted my new HPS bulb! I just picked up a Q to get me on my way as far as relaxing and unwinding goes. I gotta say though the 'crap chinese' local bud is utter-shite, it smells like garden grass and doesnt keep you high/stoned for long :( .. Hence the Q !! I only rolled a Pikey one since I still have errands to run later, (so I'll be down to earth again v.soon) :( lol ... I can't wait until my Royal Haze is ready [HAPPY THOUGHTS !!] - STELTHY :leaf:

Quality result this evening :) I helped my mate set up his cab (my old one) .. ready for his 2nd grow . I was in screwing his 250w CFL red spec bulb in order to change it for the 250w blue, when I noticed what looked like a fat spider inside the CFL .. apon closer inspection it was a fat nug from his 1st grow ... with my 1st GWS Clone.. it was a made decision to get the new clones in and get the setup running, then cooked a steak n wedges meal with booze and a nice packed joint of the GWS ... I gotta say it tasted well nice and I am still high now ...( 2hrs later ) lol :) - STELTHY :leaf:
