Apollo 400w HPS

I wouldn't know if apollo bulbs produce. Mine went out after 4 days, just like many other users, read the reviews. Should be called Apollo-gize for selling junk.

I am running a 600w Nebula, same as Apollo, ballast and buld that i got on ebay. So far i am happy with it and i have done nearly 1 full flowering with it and no issue. Production is looking good. Yes the bulbs are not top quality that is for sure and a quality bulb like Hortilux, Ushio, Digilux ect. After a few grows i will be replacing my hps bulb with a better one.

Man quit comparing what you read with what you grow. If your grow sucks with a 400 hps Apollo it's because of you. You really going to blame the bulb? That's lame as hell when I personally know Apollo will do the job. You think a ushio or hortilux is going to change your bad grow into a good one? You better look elsewhere as to the cause..like the routine you've adopted

I have the 400 and 600, they work fine

I've been running a 600 for 3 years, a Purple reign for over a year, and a 400 for 6 months. No problem from any of them. Not saying the bulbs are the best as I only use their MH for veg.
Be careful of running the Ushios in them because they are know to have problems with them.
