My HPS setup, which I've been running fresh for all of a few days, appears to have a burned out bulb already?
-400 watt Galaxy electronic ballast
-430 watt Agrosun Super Red with Blue
I mean, I've been running this brand new bulb all of a few days, and I come back from using the bathroom and the light output has dropped like 95%.
Take a look at the picture:
Weird burn marks around the edges, low output (this is with the lamp on).
So did I receive a bad lamp? Help please.
Edit: Well, I removed the bulb and installed a 400W MH I had which fired up just fine. The HPS inner core has a crack in it. WTF.
