ty for all comments....i cant let this grow go to waste ...so if i have to ill make the best of it with floros and just buy something new in the near future.....harddon..when i tested the 400 w everything worked just fine...had the new bulb in it and everything...the old bulb was new as well but did have some plant growing useage on it but it was stuck in the fixture so i got it out and bought a new bulb and everything worked fine......i think this problem may be all those floros i have running on them right now....they werent up there when i tested the light b4 i started this grow so im just gonna take apart the vegg room as planned and just keep my fingers crossed.....and like said...if all else fails i still have my floros
