| The "VHO" tag refers to the type of fixture and accompanying fluorescent bulb. Very High Output (VHO) set-ups provide a much higher output for tube fluorescents. There is also a HO (high output), as well as the standard tube bulb of course. The wattage of the VHO bulbs and fixtures should be listed for comparison by size. A 48" VHO bulb and fixture will out perform a standard 48" fluoro by miles. In some cases, I've found them to be competetive choices to MH for vegging. But the user would need some background in horticultural lighting, to choose their bulbs spectrum correctly. Plants are quite specific in spectral distribution needs. Improper supply of light across certain wavelengths, will adversly affect the grow regardless of output power.  | ||
