Ayy there Headsup. I run MH conversion bulbs and mine seem to fit right in. If I remember correctly you have HTG ballasts. Hmmm thats weird. Thats what mine are and no problems. I know this is a dumb question but are the bulbs straight MH or conversion MH. To my understanding there is a slight diffrence between the 2. I do believe that you can use a small amount of vasoline to lube the connections with no problems. Its been done for years on car light bulbs and such. Hope you get it sorted old friend.My one reflector gives me trouble getting a metal halide bulb into it. I bought a new bulb months ago when I was in flower mode. I tried to put it into the socket when I put my new babies under their big lights the other day but couldn't get the bulb in, I thought it was defective so I ordered another. Couldn't get that bulb in either.
So here's the question, does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get a bulb into a socket that doesn't want to allow it to fit? They have the same base as my hps lamps but I can't get it into that one fixture but the hps lamps fit fine.
Any suggestions? I try putting it in when it's cold with no success. Is there some type of electrical lubricant I can put on the base of the bulb and into the socket?
It would have to be an elite member or a mod Headsup. We low post counts dont get to hand out neg rep or so ive read. ??And who is the lovely person that came onto the six hundred and gave me some bad rep? I am formally protesting the charge.
Anyone else getting hit with it?
what a negitive rep in the 600, thats a first. we used to have a mod in the club but they left do to to much conversation besides weed.And who is the lovely person that came onto the six hundred and gave me some bad rep? I am formally protesting the charge.

I dont think it is negative rep. It looks negative but isnt. the person that left the rep didnt put his name on it. All rep needs the posters name to be good rep (green). I think this is why it is black not green.what a negitive rep in the 600, thats a first. we used to have a mod in the club but they left do to to much conversation besides weed.
and DST great pics looks like you had a blast. you should pick up a few thousand ladybugs for your aphids if you can
Does sound kind of funny. I meant put some vaseline on the base of the lamp for lubrication to help get it into the socket of my fixture.Not sure what the last post was about heads Up....lol, but perhaps if you have a rep that shows blue, it will have come from a new person who still needs to get rep before repping others. Only mods can give negative reps....or elite members.

I was thinking of using vaseline but was concerned it might become liquid from the heat and start oozing. Anyway my partner came over and he managed to get it in so I now have a blue light special going.

4x600w HPS fed with guano kelp tea. I think maybe 10 days but not to sure. Im just keeping a close eye on them. I go by the color of the resin head and look at it through a 20-100x microscope and I usually chop at 1/3 clear 1/3 cloudy 1/3 amber. But If you wanna go by the hairs I guess maybe 75-85%nice looking buds ... when you looking to chop them down? whats that set up there?
