Jojajico ..when you say it was red and now blue...do you mean at start-up? if so that sounds normal. as the bulb warms up it may seem less "intense" untill it has fully pwered up. But if this is an older bulb and you mean it seems like it's getting tired...then it may be getting tired. Have you used it for several harvests? Some less expensive bulbs have a shorter life span and it doesn't matter what kind of bulb we are talking about...all bulbs start to loose their spectrum after a while....yours may be loosing the red spectrum.

I use a Hortilux 430w Eye and it has a blue spectrum so it can be used for veg or flower. It also has a really long life span.

Keep checking this thread because someone will have more questions for you and/or a better answer than me.

Just thought I'd add my 2 cents while having my morning coffee.

Have a great day everyone

when i just got the bulb and ballast. this is my first grow on them when i first turned it on it was a white/blue light and then slowly turned orange/red. a couple days later i walked past the room and noticed that the color of light looked blueish. i thought hps light was redish. for a couple days it was???

That does sound strange ... could be anything really from a bad ballast to a bad bulb .... start with a different bulb as you can always use a spare around the house just in case....if that fixes the problem then you may be able to return the original bulb for an exchange....you could maybe take the bulb with you and try it at the place you bought it...I'm sure they have a test bench or a way to test it....if you bought the ballast from a store you most likely have some kind of warranty.

I wouldn't want to say anything else to contribute.....that's just my best guess. How I trouble shoot anything is start at the begining and work your way through the chain of events...bulb is a good place to start...then ballast....and so-on
