Anyone have any history with vibrating HPS lamps? ...
Ema26started grow question 4 years ago
Anyone have any history with vibrating HPS lamps? Mine keeps making a buzzing/rattling noise. I’m thinking it’s the metal inside rattling on the glass so if I slightly rotate it it may stop? What do you think? Thanks!

I know it,I had it,never caused a problem because I knew it was coming from the bulb,not the ballast.No need to panic unless it is from ballast.Changing the angle might stop it.that's what I do

Hey @Ema26!
I've been growing under HPS almost 2 years and I've never notice anything that could be a buzzing/rattling noise.
I got some friends that are still under HPS an neither heard about that. I would recommend you to ensure that conections are well made.
Check the driver and the bulb. That could be a bigger problem later on.
Be careful! If you can do a cross-test would be the better option. (cross-test: try the bulb on other driver or the driver with another bulb).

Honestly your better to look online for info about your HPS lamp then ask us folks here. You'll get some folks who are "no problem" others who will be like "very bad". So you'd be better to try and figure it out online. You know your Ballast... And your bulb soo it's really kind of better for you to get that info you need.

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi,
Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED
Thanks,
