Man-o-man. Don't ever assume you know something. Seedling started to get really bright green and I'm pretty sure they were getting bleached. I built a fixture and the light bulbs that came with it I assumed was he 175 watt or so metal halide. I decided to do some readings off of the fixture and with my ballast at 60% I was getting 120 volts at 3 amps. Turns out that bulb is a 500 watt metal halide. That could have ended bad.
They are considerably lighter in color than they appear in the pictures.
Hot tip - grow your cannabis in cat treats, they will turn out purrrrrrfect.
But on a more serious note I have a question, should I assume that this is actually a 500 watt bulb or is that what the ballast is putting out and it is over driving the bulb?
