Hey I was wondering do you change out your HPS bulb each flowering cycle? I heard that the bulb loses a lot of its power after you use it for 70 days or so.
Is this true? Should I buy a new bulb before I start flowering this time around? I use the 1000w Hortilux EYE bulb, and they are not cheap. Also, maximizing yield is near the very top on my priority list.
I don't want to lose significant yield, nor do I want to waste a perfectly good bulb - and money. I would like to hear what you think and what you do as well.
