Hey everyone this is my first post on this site and i have to say this is one of my favorite sites. The people on here are very knowledgeable and dont just talk alot of $hit.

Anyway my question is there really a difference between a standard hps, and the EYE hortilux bulbs? its time to flower and i can get a standard for about half the price of the EYE, but if the benifits make up for the cost i will def buy hte EYE. Any info would be much appreciated.

i use the hortilux but i veg with it for a week or two also. i've never tried anything else.

Go for enhanced HPS if possible. It throws out a higher CRI and Lumens. If it's 2x the cost, however, its not worth the expense.

I use the Hortilux, not only because of more lumens than a standard, but more of the lumens are PAR, what the plants need.

Yeah, it's twice as much cost, but my plants are worth it.

Thanks guys i decided to order 2 of the EYE hortilux yesterday. As you said potroast plants are def worth the extra expense.

I just bought some too. I found them for 70 bux each for both the 600 and 1k. That's the lowest price I've ever found.

Ive always used the eye bulb;i think they are worth it.If you want a knock off for the 600,go to Maryland hydro,look up enhanced spectrum,600 watt for $30.00 us,i believe there just as good for 1/2 the price.Good Luck!Stay Safe!

I used to use the Philips Son Agro before I switched to the Eye Hortilux. I could not believe how much Bluer and Brighter the Eye lamp was. My plants are growing like monsters.
