Ema26started grow question 5 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.

When to turn the light on after sprouting?We have a sprout! Tropicana Banana sprouted between 10pm last night and noon today. Can I turn the light on now, and start the 18-6 schedule tonight or will it fuck it up if I turn the light back off at midnight tonight to begin the 18-6 schedule?

Veg/Bloom switchMy plants are 5 weeks from germination, I have flowers and buds forming but I am starting to worry they aren't growing as they should (I want them bigger). I have had my light veg and bloom switches on throughout.
Would you recommend I change over to just bloom switch now?

23 hours light per day?I’m running 4 autos in a 4x4 tent on 20 hours of light per day. I’m thinking about the possibility of changing the light hours to 23 hours a day and 1 dark hour. I’m currently on week 8/9, I’m expecting it to finish roughly 12/14 weeks from birth. Any thoughts on this growers?Setup. Lighting
