Cheers guys. To be honest I have used a son t hps bulb all the way through so that will probably add insult to injury on whats an already stretchy strain (70% sativa). I think I'm going to get an mh bulb next time to try it out. Hopefully (there it is again) my ballast can run a mh bulb. I will have to check :)

hi I had a powercut yesterday night only for a couple of mins but when I turned the mh light on it took ages then went out a couple of hours later,the inside sqare glows and it has electric pulsing through it but it doesn't fully turn on anymore,i have now replaced the bulb with a 600w hps until I get a mh bulb,will this be ok for vegging until I get the mh,how could a powercut make a bulb blow/brake? or was it an error on my part as id like to know so it doesn't happen again because the mh bulbs are expensive and I don't fancy buying one every week.

i hate power cuts lol hps will be ok i use it start to finish it may cause a lil extra stretch tho. was the square thing ( the arch ;) ) glowing for a while, shutting off then starting back up? info is power, i use this for light diagnosis - http://donklipstein.com/ltrouble.html#d - hope this helps ;)

ive just ordered another mh bulb but its soo frustrating as the mh bulbs are expensive, I tried to cantact the seller to see if he could sell me another on discount or something as I have only used it for a week,but I don't think he will be able to help because there wasn't a fault in the bulb until the powercut,this is the first power cut ive had in over 5 years lol.thanks for your replies:)

gaffer pulled a blinder today. I'd just gotten into the office and the fire alarm went off. me being the fire officer ( I know lol ) I ordered everyone out. then I smelled the burnt toast smell n thought ah don't bother lads i said someone down the halls just burnt some toast. turns out it was the gaffer in the other room. he'd mixed the dial numbers up on the toaster and set it away on just next to maximum setting. black poptart, plumes of smoke. 60 odd folks stood out in the snow in the car park. fire brigade the lot. it's a council run building so the place is hard lined to the fire service. can't just knock the alarm off. if it happens again £500 fine.

man's a disaster on 2 legs. a hilarious one at that.
