went to barnes and noble today and saw the mention on breeders boutique in the hightimes! how cool. how come I cant drop down a line with my fuckin shift button. damn man. fuck. say doobs how are the plants treating you?
I got 3 plants of the M1 going. Started flowering period with four of them but one hermied too badly to keep.
The biggest one has flowers that are dark red-purple (almost black). That plant is doing great!
The other one is almost as big, but has normal, totally green calyxes.
The third one had some issues caused by me, and isn't doing very well.
Have snagged a couple of really early buds and it's already pretty good.
And they're just starting to get visible frostiness, too.
I think you'll be fine, the part that screws into the light fixture is fine, and that looks like the MH, so I can assure you if there was an issue with it there would be no way it would strike. I had a micro small shard of metal in one of my bulbs one time and the thing just didn't work at all. You could see the little shard. So yeh, the bulbs are fairly sensitive so if they are working fine then don't worry. If it does cause a problem you will know soon enough and at that point you will be well in your right to get a replacement. The dent looks more like a fault in the glass.
See if anyone else pipes in and thinks it's a problem. Always good to have more than one opinion
That dent shouldn't be a problem.
The base of the bulb goes all the way to the end of the bulb, inside the screw cap, and gets fused shut with an end cap of glass that has the electrodes coming out that get soldered to the metal screw cap, so it's basically one piece of glass.
And all manufactures fire up their bulbs before shipping them out, and run a quick diagnostics on it to make sure it's operating within specs.
Should not be a problem for you, but it will be a good bargaining chip should it fail while under warranty.
