No, it is not botanically possible. It is pure BS/Bro Science.

Is power-usage data a reliable way to monitor the condition of a HPS light globe?
Noticed a fading trend on the 600 Hps power graph. The highest usage the globe was new, the usage since lessens a small amount most days. Is that a reliable method to monitor the condition of a light globe? Is the gradually-reducing power usage due to globe degrading? Cheers :)
