Lucalox

[Tom]

Hi there fellow members, just picked up a GE Lucalox HPS 400w horticultural globe for nix, any one used one? Can't find much information about them on the net other than hydro suppliers group them with the Son-T's and the GE Lucagrow.

I just got one too, I am going to wait and see. Not much difference between my Standard 250w with a White Painted Reflector and a 400w Lucalox in a Aluminum Reflector. Have to wait and see.

not a fan of the lucra or luca globes they for some reason dont give a speedy 12/12 switch and plant keep stretching all through flower. I wasted two grows gave up by week3 with these globes till i found the problem simply plants show no sigh of flowering within 2 week of turn but then start ok but real stretchy uptop.

 

I thought it was the new nute i used so went back to what i knew with same issue again, eventually put in old phillips for third grow and problem gone hairs within 7 days. I cant explain why and these where recomended to me but after i complained i had them swapped for new phillips although all 3x 600wt had been used for a month.. learnt to wait if phillips are sold out

 

what ever you do dont swap all your lights to lucra at on time maby use a combo and see if you have simular issues, in the past ive used two phillips to 1 lucra in the middle without problem so maby they recently changed something or the spectrum is slightly different
