i should really check my email before riu.... this is the response from my friend the lumatek consultant:

Great Question:
This was the case like 3 or more years ago. [<--- he's referring to the "you HAVE to use e-ballast-specific bulbs" thingy here.]
What was happening was the harmonics from E ballasts were breaking the arc tube in the bulbs.

This has been addressed by increasing the welds on the arc tube that most bulb manufacturers have now done so this is not the case anymore.

Digilux (R&M product), is a slick marketing bulb, but still is a Chinese Lamp just in nice packaging (Oooo Velvet Liner).
Sun Pulse made the same claim that they were the one and only Eballast lamp but still had Chinese quality problems.

I still would recommend Hotilux and Ushio over the Digilux.
Hortilux and Ushio use a Japanese Arc Tube and then it&#8217;s sent to Germany for the Gas and Glass.
China is getting better, but still quality control issues are still a problem.

Sylvania Plantastar&#8217;s Rock and is a little cheaper lampfor E Ballasts, but I think there only available in Canada.


fwiw, next time we swap out bulbs i think we're gonna get ushio's.....

Thanks Kitty, 'preciate it. Hortilux has always been my bulb of choice, but I just finished flowering a few under a 600w Ushio and I was pretty impressed with the results. I'll probably go Lumatek on the ballasts I'm replacing, but it's entirely possible I'll change my mind again. I'm like that sometimes.

Interesting ways to trim. I trim wet, I use my fingers to snap off all the large and med leaves than hang to dry for 7 to 10 days than trim the buds from the stalks. I put 2 to 3# in a white garbage catcher and seal so it's full of air than rotate the bag a few times, breaks off the crispy leaves. I do this a couple times and than empty on to a 1/2 screen to get the sift out, than bag. I use the sift for butter.

if phillips isn't the only manufacturer, they are the only one I would give my business to.

They are leading the way in cmh technology

I run 2 400w cmh side by side in a 4x6 and I love them :)

I have magnetic 400 watt MH lights. Do I need HPS set up to run CMH?

*stuck in twilight zone over here*

windsblow -- you and i have had 2 conversations. one resulted in you insulting april, and ultimately calling april and i a gender-based misogynist slur. in the other, when i offered you an olive branch and a fresh start, you basically set it on fire and pissed on the embers. i'm curious what compels you to post in a journal where you have that sort of relationship with the OP?

me, i'm pretty easy-come-easy-go. but i can't be welcoming you to this conversation without first asking that you apologize to april for insulting her in the first place.
[hint: you can do it here, i know she follows along sporadically.]
