Basically what integra said.
I have 5 plants with 2 400s over them. estimated yield is around 18- 20 oz. With a some what short 30 day from seed to flowering. Last grow seed to flower was 45 days with an average of 6 oz. a plant. So veg time directly effects yield.

Good Morning,

Yesterday while I was watching the game I noticed that my 400 watt HPS light had gotten dimmer. A lot dimmer.

The ballast worked fine when I put it on the Metal Halide.

Sounds like the light, not completely dark but not very dim. The HPS bulb has been used for about 10 days, the ballast 2 months.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Peace - :joint::peace:

P.S. - I have them under 315 Multi-spectrum CFL's right now.

it wasn't when it had just turned on and was warming up was it? i made a ridiculous noob mistake the other day, ran my 400 for 2 months without realizing there was a thin layer of celophane on the underside of the hood....tried to remove it once the bulb was on, *#(*$@ MISTAKE, now i have melted plastic all over one side of my bulb, a fire hazard im sure, ive ordered a replacement, as it is ive double the ventilation on the bulb in an effort to prevent any disasters, still smells a little like burning plastic in my garden lol, so close to harvest too what a bummer

No this bulb was not just warming up, I had been running it for about 10 days. I tried it again this morning.

I now have the Metal Halide running in the same fixture and with the same ballast (switchable) right now.

I will go to my local Hydro store when they open up. Wish I would have bought it from them.....

Peace - :joint::peace:

P.S. - Pretty funny about the plastic, at least I didn't do it.

:​
Medusa is the latest addition to our harem at Nirvana. Powerful Misty genes contribute to Medusa’s ability to turn people to stone. Firm light green buds have a deep musty aroma and a sugar cane after taste. Superior quality smoke makes up for modest yields. Medusa is an absolute must for connoisseurs.

Breeder's Description - 'Kaya'​
Kaya is a hearty strain bred for rougher climates or novice indoor growers. Leaning on the Sativa side, Kaya grows big and tall yet finishes early. Kaya has a spicy flavour refreshingly different from Skunk and has a moderate T.H.C. level. She is pest resistant and can take the heat. Perfect for leaving somewhere with a g.p.s. and finding it again in fall. Kaya thrives in a greenhouse as well.

Thank you Joe, you have now confirmed it for me. Im going with Big bang after this rhino, along with some sensi star and kushage. Here is some rhino at around 56 days as well. Going for 9 maybe more.
I couldnt help but notice that it appears your lights are off when you took those pictures. I had some widows that went hermie from around a dozen camera flashes. Were they off? Thanks and beautiful buds man...

*I think you will be very surprised with your yields. My last three GHS widow gave me 18 oz. I expect around 16-18 oz off 5 of these rhinos with half the veg- just for reference.
