i changed some things today, put in a new 1k bulb...... and then got rid of the supplemental 400w

it's funny how you don't notice the loss in intensity until you spark a new one.... where i was running three lights, i'm now running only one

this happened when i swaped from 250hps to 400hps. i couldnt belive the difference.
if the diff is that good, cannot wait till i sort my bigger grow room, and getting my 1000hps,
i bet that make the difference, like you say.

same here. my room was so yellow. it looked bright but i kept thinking something just wasn't right. i threw in my new bulb 3 days ago. WOW, what a difference.

i know!!!!!

in all fairness, i'm not sure it's that drastic (my cam has this weird feature; it focuses itself....). i knew it was bad, but when i pulled it up on the pc, i thought, "holy SHIT!! i have to make a thread!)

lol, i've been burning the other bulb for a long time with no breaks...... bad kp, bad
