It's also going to be less effective immediately upon igniting it for the first time, and every time thereafter. Where's the air-wank emoticon?

personaly i did 5 exellent grows on a 400w multi spectrum hps and then i changed bulbs.
If you want to or are willing to spend on another bulb buy yourself a metal halide bulb for veg and alternate so you only get half the wear on both!

For optimum lighting it makes sense to change every grow. If money is an issue fair enough. But i want the best for my plants and you would think everyone else would want the same. Aint gonna argue wi ya mate, thats your opinion. Wanker? If the cap fits mate.

I'm surprised you're not an LED grower, as they have, by far, the best lumen maintenance of any bulb.



This guy must own stock in some bulb manufacturer or something.

no mate no stocks in any lighting company just want the best for my plants. I wish i did have stocks the amount of bulbs i go through. What is the point in slagging somebody off when it is totally unfounded? Opinions are opinions. And no mate i am an incredibly successful grower thank you very much. Using hps not leds.

You wont see any of the grow operations in amsterdam using bulbs for more than one grow. Contact them and see why. Now where is that Wanker emoticon?

if they tell you so then go with it, but i dont recomend doing that .i say change it every 6-8 months so that you can get a couple grows out of it . and thats if you 18/6 or 24/0 them other wise you can stretch a year out of them . and of course the shop is going to tell you that so you can keep on spending because they are expensive
