I ordered my hood and ballast as a kit and with it came an Eiko (sp?) MH bulb. I've looked up everything they make and I'm sure it's just the standard bulb, 4000K.
Being that all of the CFL users go with 6500K for veg, I was wondering whether or not there was a 6500K MH bulb. I've found many..
My question is this: Whether I spend $125 for a Hortilux Blue bulb or go with a $20 bulb from ebay or something in between the two, is there really that much difference between the bulbs? If so, will I or my plants notice? Isn't 6500K 6500k regardless of the manufacturer?
I don't see the CFL guys getting wrapped up in what brand of bulb they buy so does it really matter with HID bulbs?
Thanks for the help!
