so I have choice between 600w and 1000w using it solely for vegging and keeping mothers alive. Only hortilux blue so don't try n sell me on shit mh bulbs. I know the capabilities of the blue already. But what's the benefit of 1000w vs 600 for vegging

Damn, I didn't realize Hortilux had a 600-watt MH out now. Back when I vegged with MH, there was no 600-watt MH.

I recently switched back to MH for vegging, and bought a 400-watt blue a few days ago. Wish I had bought the 600-watter now. I'll buy it when it's time to change out the 400-watter I bought.

I have a 1000w Solis Tek 6K and it kicks ass. It really looks like sunlight and plants just thrive. Isn't the Horti Blue at 6.5K?

Just ordered the Hortilux Blue and Super HPS after having just finished a grow using freebie no-name bulbs. Looking forward to using the premium bulbs.
