I'll figure something out. They're only 3 weeks old. I have a few more weeks till they start budding and the real smelling starts

I did the same grow as you exactly, I believe in you..

Don't sweat it. You can wash it off with alky. ITs the same with halogen lights. Its because it uses a quartz glass.

OK, I already failed that test. I screwed the bulb in with my hands, so far so good though. And I'd be too scared to use 2 x 1000 watts because of police and shit.

Can a run 2 400W bulbs off a 1000W ballast?

Is the ballast rating, the max, or required?
(not a lighting guy, gimmie a few microchips and see what happens0

Don't think so. I asked the guy a similar question and he said no. If it's a 1000w ballast, you have to use 1000w bulbs.

Hmmm Interesting. I just gutted a 70W and 150W (ok, small grow room) and looking at the wiring, I think it can be done. Separate, matched to bulb, igniters might be needed. Think I'm gonna inquire to manufacturers. I *think* 2 400's over a larger area might work better. (just thinking of a BIG grow room, but mainly peppers, tomatoes, etc.)

What 'guy' did you ask? (I have corrected a lot of floor sales people helping other customers on stuff. a few of the salesman actually thanked me, but not many)
