    400 Watt MH Bulbs? What to get? Worth the extra $?

    I am looking to get a 400W MH bulb for veg, but am deciding what bulb to get. You can drop from $25 for a shop light to $120+ for proper spectrum. Is the extra $ really worth it? Especially since I am only using it for veg and switching to a Hortilux HPS for flower?
