Greetings to all and sundry ,
I have recently aquired a new 600W HPS Ballast (old skool magnetic) & Globe via EBAY - its a Grow Lush (brand) for $100 bucks (120 delivered). The ballast claims to be "High Output" and the globe claims 20% more light than standard HPS lamps - which on the surface seems to be all well and good.
My doubts begin when reading the box the globe has arrived in, it reads:
Natural light alternitive for professional growers
24 Hour daylight alternative
20% more light
long life ..... blah blah blah...
"24 Hour daylight alternative" & "Natural light alternative" - do you peeps think that that means it would be inadequate to use for Flowering (& maybe even not all that good for veg)??
It also seems to run really hot too...
Does any one out there have any experiance with growlush equipment? in particular the globes?.
O yea, i almost forgot- i can grab a growlush digital balast for like $180, any one used em??
Generally speaking is it worth ditching my ancient 400W magnetic ballast and upgrading to the digi??
