Frequently Asked Questions
How far should I hang my 600W Metal Halide bulb from my plants?
For a 600W MH bulb, a general rule is to keep it between 12 and 20 inches (30-50 cm) from the top of the plant canopy. This can vary based on your specific reflector and grow space setup.Do I need a ballast to run this bulb?
Yes, all HID lamps, including Metal Halide and High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) bulbs, require a compatible ballast to regulate the current and power the lamp safely. For a great pairing, check out our selection of digital ballasts.How often should I replace my Metal Halide bulb?
It's recommended to replace MH bulbs every 3-4 grows or after about 10,000 hours of runtime. While the bulb may still light up, its light intensity and spectral output diminish over time, which can negatively affect your plant's growth and yield.Can I use this Metal Halide bulb for the entire grow cycle?
While a 600W Metal Halide bulb is primarily designed for the vegetative stage, it can be used for the entire grow cycle. However, using a HPS bulb during the flowering phase is generally recommended as its red-orange spectrum is better suited for promoting bud and fruit development. For a full-cycle solution, consider a Dual Spectrum bulb which combines both red and blue light.SKU: 1838 Wattage: 600W
