Say, what's the symptom of a bad conversion bulb? I have a 400w hps ballast (from HTG), a mh conversion bulb, and a hps bulb. I used the conversion bulb for a couple grows, switching to hps when I flipped the lights to 12-12. This last grow, however, using the conversion bulb resulted in the ballast buzzing louder than normal and the light popping out then returning after a few minutes. The hps bulb continued to work fine.
Is the problem the bulb or something to do with the ballast. If it's the bulb, I'd like to buy a new one; I liked what the mh did during veg. But I don't want to waste my money. If it's the ballast, I'll just have to suck it up and replace.
Any ideas? Thanks.
