I still prefer a MH such as Horti Blue or Sunmaster Full Nova. I have yet purchased a large LED past 300 watt and I wouldn' t have gotten that if it were not so cheap on Black Friday. My electronic ballasts are in great shape and I see no need to change to LED. Question: If I were to enclose my reflector housing, would the glass block the UV from the bulb?
Yeah, MH is king! An enclosed hood blocks a small percentage of light, and some UV. They say glass blocks UV, but from our testing, it doesn't seem to block it, only slightly reduce it. There's a real good deal on the iPower cool tube reflectors on Amazon right now, and having the cool tube rather than a flat glass panel allows more angular light to get through!
In the past were you talking about Hortilux blue metal Halide or Eye Hortilux Blue Metal Halide on your website under tips, also you changed it to mass metal halide, how does the mass metal halide compare to the Hortilux blue metal halide or is it eye hortilux blue metal halide. I remember just Hortilux?~
Hortilux Blue Metal Halide and Eye Hortilux Blue Metal Halide is the same thing. The new Mass Metal Halide is similar, but 20% brighter, so it's more efficient, and the results are even better! Both are great bulbs, sadly Hortilux is not in business anymore so I had to make my own brand to keep MH technology relevant!
In some cases, an MH garden can be more efficient than an LED garden, in other cases, an LED might be more efficient. It's a complex subject but in short, you need to calculate the electrical expenditure of your entire operation, not only your light source. Our website goes into detail on this. Also, MH are more efficient than previously thought, because a big portion of the energy wasn't being counted (outside PAR 400-700nm spectrum but now scientifically proves it is photosynthetically active, too) All of this and much more at MassMetalHalide.com Plus, quality is a whole other discussion :) what LEDs gain in "efficiency" is lost in missing portions of the spectrum, and it does change the plants.
Much more powerful than CMH. CMH is good for vegging, but not high enough power for flowering in my experience, cmh yield much smaller than MH.. The MH is a high frequency bulb, has a more sunlike spectrum 6000k, whereas CMH are much warmer color temp than sun at 3k or 4k... smh is low frequency so it is flickering 120x per second, MH is high frequency sine wave, more total light delivered over time by far, much deeper penetration, better yield, better genetic expressions in flower :) closest to nature as we can do
That's a misconception, the LED spectrum is completely artificial with large peaks in red and blue, changing the plant's metabolism and genetic expression, and LED's have a lack of IR spectra from 800-2000+ which is present in sun and mh, and latest science is starting to show how important it is. Also, the UV in less is lacking in a similar fashion, they only capture small segments of the full spectrum. In terms of visible light, yes, LEDs can deliver a lot of that, but they're missing out a lot of the important parts of the spectrum at the same time. HIDs being not enough makes no sense, they are definitely enough. Also, using either lighting type, you can easily achieve the desired light levels by putting the lamp at the appropriate distance to your plant canopy. Read MassMetalHalide.com for more info!
LEDs rock for certain genetics that’s only with uva supplementation and vpd. LEDs suck at growing og, chems, bubbas, etc etc. I’m switching back because I only like gas. Unfortunately I can’t upgrade the hvav in my facility , what’s a good light to run to replace my gavita 1700 LEDs with equivalent amperage draw. Do you make any bulbs for 600s?

Subscribed! Beautiful video with beautiful Metal Halide lamp.🙂
I got a 600 watt for my dad and myself. This bulb is so high quality, It really does feel like sun light 🙂 thanks for looking out for the grower
Enjoy!!!
I always loved these in the early years, 1000w MH my covered 10 X 10
Beast!

Can’t wait for Guardian to drop it, I’m fucking rearranging my entire grow for this one🔥🔥🔥🔥
Enjoy it!!!
Love it!
Me too :) lol

I got a similar 600 watt 10000k bulb for my street light
It's definitely a less boring color than 4000k
10000k... that's a uv bulb. Be careful.
@@diezelvh4133 well it certainly cannot even slightly compare to the sun's UV output
So the much less expensive Photobio PAR meter isn't junk?
Yup, it's very good from what I hear!
I'm surprised these are still used with the efficiency of LED today

@@MassMedicalStrains Thanks, I've looked at the website and have it bookmarked. I'd love to try a grow with these lights, sounds promising.
Hope you get to try some and enjoy! The plants are really loving them, you notice a difference real quick!@@TonyFernandezjkdjedi
How does this light compare to CMH?
Better spectrum....brighter, more light.....higher yield, more cannabinoids, THC, CBD, cbg......
well said.@@christianmenendez5284

Why?? Leds have better DLI and spectrum by far. You have to turn down leds and hids are not enough.

@@OGhitta91yes, they have 600.
