Hi my hps has been out of use for a few weeks while I setup my next grow an I finally did an when I turned on my hps it was white so I thought id give it 30mins to warm up but still no orange glow. The bulb has only been used for a month so should be ok and it used to have the sexy orange glow... any ideas guys

white compaired to what? do you have another hps that is different in color? bulbs do get old and have a rated "hrs of use" before they degrade. how old is it?

some of those cheep bulbs you need to replace every harvest, junk. buy a quality bulb like a hortilux sun master . digilux they will last a year. # 1 hortilux # 2 sun master # 3 digilux # 4 sun pulse.

Use it as a backup and buy a new eye hortilux super hps. That profile pic is pretty hot. I'd rip them panties off and go to town right about now lmao.
