i ordered the bulb from 1000bulbs.com its a sylvania.. ive got a new sunmaster HPS bulb and a new MH conversion on the way from some other place(cant remember). hope they do me well. 1000bulbs said they will exchange my bulb for a new one. no refund, but oh well thats fine. spare bulbs are a definate + to have now that ive found out the hard way.
ponics101 Reviewed by ponics101 on . bulb blew.. important ? my 400w metal halide conversion bulb just blew(expecting refund since it only lasted a few weeks). anyhow, i put the 400w HPS bulb i have in until I recieve the new conversion bulb i just ordered in a few days. the plants stand only about half a foot tall but very bushy. i have the light about 12" over the plants(6 pots) in a hydroponic/aeroponic setup. also have fans lightly cooling the area and shaking the plants slightly to help them grow a little more sturdy. I just added lines of string to Rating: 5
