6 weeks is not old at all.. some people use bulbs for YEARS... It is usually 3- 4 harvest that a succesful/serious grower will change out his bulbs..
changig bulbs regularly is more of "fine tuning" that pro$$ do than beginnners.. but many begginers turn PRO very quickly
By pro, I mean somebody who has "DIALED" there system to yield the fastest and biggest yields possible

Just helpin' you out, here's what your post should have been:hi to you all, doss any one no if you can tell when an hps bulb is neer the end of its life? as i got given 2 400w bulbs that are ment to be 6 weeks old? but how can i tell if its tro??
"Hi to you all! Does anyone know if you can tell when an HPS bulb is near the end of its life? I'm asking because I was given two 400w bulbs that are supposedly six weeks old. How can I tell if it's true??"
I like learning new languages, and I like to learn when I'm making mistakes. If you don't care then so be it!

HAHA that avatar is sweet! Yes I would definitely get a new bulb, they're not that expensive. When in doubt, shell it out.
