This is what makes testing awesome… results are results…positive or negative…

I’m imagining the testing bulbs all cane I from the same box or batch. Might have been dropped or mishandled somewhere between the factory and the test tents.

For sure the Phillips is in the top 3 bulbs. So I’m sure it wasn’t handled correctly
Just such a waste

Yes it was the Philips GreenPower Elite Argo 315W/930 and this is the 2nd bulb in 3 years that has done the same thing.

End of week 4

Well we have reached the end of week 4 and as you can see the plants have grown and look very full and are ready to go into the flower stage. What will be unique here is I would normally be changing out the high-performance bulb, or the Master GreenPower Elite Agro 315/930 bulb and replacing it with a Philips Master 3100K GreenPower Elite Agro CMH Lamp, 315 Watt. This is what I would normally do, but for testing purposes I am going to stay with the Philips 315/930. This should be interesting to observe.
