Same day, more drama.
March 24, day 30
One of my 1000 watt High Pressure Sodium bulbs stopped working today. Lasted 10 months of ownership but the other is still working for now.
I would give a 2/5 star review for Genesis brand 1000w HPS.
Owned for 11 months, used for 10 months. Off for about 6 weeks or more during those 10 months . A conservative estimate would be
10 months x 30.5 days = 305 days times 12hours
= 3,660 hours of use MAXIMUM (actual was up to 25% less, im over estimating)
pretty crappy for a 10,000+ hour bulb supposedly
I got about 1/3rd the useable life span out of this bulb.
Harvests were good I never complained about the performance of the bulb, just lifespan / longevity.
For the Journal:
Switched to Ultra Sun SUPER HPS today, raised the light an extra 12 inches.
-This journal focuses on 4 plants under one hood, however my room has an additional 1000w hood over a different series of plants. Those plants are being harvested so I turned down that hood to 600w to save some kilowatts but still provide that overlapping and extra light. Now this Bruce Banner grow went from 2000watts the last 4 weeks to 1600watts (but with a new 1000w bulb).
Good Looking Packaging
Spectrums slightly different
Look at the damage to the heat shield. Could be the culprit and I think that is my own fault from bumping into the hood / raising.
