So I walk into the grow room to check the grow. I search the room with an LED flashlight - instantly alerted to the ashen white burned flakey stuff covering EVERY plant. A new fungus! Super Powerdery Mildew!? What is this strange white ashen shit?
Oh. My. Fucking. God. It. Is. Ash.
That's a homebuilt reflector behind what used to be the bulb. It's a 2x3 titanium white parabolic curve - it works *really* well. It was about 4 inches away from the bulb.
So we all know not to buy PlantMax bulbs.
Look at the way the shell burned down around the filament!
Let me be clear about that homemade reflector. That is half-inch MDF behind 1/8 inch particle board. Fucking incinerated.
Wow. Just wow. I'm sort of in shock my house didn't catch fire or something.
I've never even heard of this happening.
And no - nothing was touching the bulb and I keep my bulbs *very* clean.
I'm spooked.
