Hi,

I've just reached day 21 of veg growth on my skunt No 1 plant, and my light goes - again...

I've got 1 125w envirolight. It's worked for 3 weeks on 18 hours, and then it pops. The last one I got worked for 1 second before it blew, and the one before that worked for about 11 weeks altogether.

Is there a standard time these things should work for, or up until what point would you try to send it back again. I really think my £30 quid should hold out a bit longer than 3 weeks, but I don't know.

Any ideas on why it keeps blowing? I'm beginning to think it's something to do with my timer, but has anyone else had a problem? I'm only using a bog standard house timer. Would I need to use something different?

Also (as if the above is not enough), is there another as cheap (if not cheaper) method of lighting. You hear so much about the expense of HPS etc.

Thanks for any replies. I'm doing to get onto my lights guy now, and see if I can get another bulb quick. I was just about to turn my plant 12/12 tonight, and now it's on the window. I've given a pic, just in case.
