whats the best 400w hps bulb?

not worried about the budget. not worried about lifespan. i want to get the most lumens and right spectrum

el-cheapo 400w hps produces light fluffy buds.

A 1000 watt HPS with great inline exhaust fan is the best 400 watt bulb..

I like sylvania grolux, in tests it has "apparently" been proven to out perform the hortilux.

hortilux is a good light, there are a few others that claim more light but hortilux will have no issues

I would grow with the eye Hortilux bulbs I have a mh- blue daylight and a SHPS by them and theyre the best I think. MH is 400w and SHPS is 600w
