That's funny you said the MH/HPS won't last long. I only use those during veg. I switch to 1000 watt HPS by Hortilux.
I said that from factory perspective
, MH/HPS is unstable and short life compare to HPS, MH and CMH. It was design for a blue and red spectrum, but CMH can do that.
And it is funny, many times maker and user not see things in the same way. Thats why I would like to chart with u guys
