Could these bulb faults be due to the ballasts?

Dont know. Im getting a new bulb so I guess we will see what happens.

That sux big. Also a weird coincidence. The one I have in veg has a slight flicker well on. Hope this isn't foreshadowing another bulb going.

Yeah, kinda strange.... I am not sure if that flickering has something to do with it. I told ya it was flickering quite a bit.. I was kinda backed into a corner, bcoz of having grows in flower w/ no real way to change lighting over back to hps...I ended up finding a open box replacement lamp, same color I was using... That come in this morning, so I have lighting back on now.. But did loose a full day...

I am not sure if from ballast or not, I notice this other lamp flickering also, not quite as much as the other was, but still quite often..

I thought you had mentioned a flickering as well.

this was a update I was going to do yesterday when i watered my plants but did not have time but anyway plants are doing great and just doing there thing and stacking buds i am staring to notice a few stray orange hairs on my autos in the tent but they still have a long way to go

my lemon tooth photo plant is doing just great and is doing something that I never seen before on a flowering plant some of the hairs on the buds are showing a nice pink hue to them

its time for a update on both my prism lighting science 315w cmh light autos and photo grows both in super soil

my plants in my tent and my closet grow both got plain water

the water I used was plain carbon filtered tap water (filtered water not R/O water) it was ph. to 6.2 with a mix of citric acid crystals (natural ph. down) and ascorbic acid powder and sodium ascorbic powder (both are vitamin C powders) that I use as ph. down and a dechlorinator and was bubbled for 24+ hours

the plants in my grow tent are under a prism lighting science 315w cmh are

2x San Francisco Sour Dough autos from top shelf elite one is in day [HASHTAG]#72[/HASHTAG] from sprout and day [HASHTAG]#65[/HASHTAG] from sprout
1x gorillagasm auto from top shelf elite in day [HASHTAG]#72[/HASHTAG] from sprout
1x Pineapple crack auto from top shelf elite in day [HASHTAG]#65[/HASHTAG] from sprout

the single photo plant in the closet under a prism lighting science 315w cmh is

1x lemon tooth photo period feminized from B-S-B genetics in day [HASHTAG]#28[/HASHTAG] of flower

Hhhhhhmmmmmm!!........can I just ask who is from Prism on this?....we appear to have hit a bump here and it seems the testers are having to answer their own questions... @Unique good point on the hot start delay......my ballast has a 15 min delay built in, like you said dude!...but I always leave it 30 mins anyways......so with 2 lamps blown and no questions answered, are we to think this is a Philips problem?.....or a Prism problem?........Myself im pretty gutted about the lack of answers, as I was well up for this test 'cause its the first I have seen about CMH......and things were goin so well too!!.......not that its over and the others are still doin well but..........its how well problems are handled by the vendor too IMO!!!!

Has anyone reached the vendor?
