Hey guy's. I need to replace my 400watt Metal Halide Bulb. Can I shut the lamp off safely for awhile and let it cool then change it without stressing or harming my 7 day seedlings? Need to do some wiring cleanup as well so it may be off for a couple hours. It's been on non stop now since they sprouted 7 days ago and I just dont wanna screw em up in anyway. I wanna take the smh bulb out and replace it with a new Hortilux400 watter I have. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Could I put the seedlings near the window for some sunlight for a bit? It's pretty warm by the window.
Lemme know what ya think.
Peace,
MC

That should be fine for a little while.
If you could shine some type of light on them the better.
But a short interuption won't hurt them...
Peace
and
good luck

MC,
Sounds like you have 2 hours of work, they will not be harmed at all. I bet they will thank you, after the new bulb and grace you with stronger growth. lol Go For It! NO PROBLEM.

geez! Thank you guy's very much for getting back to me so quickly. Seems like theres always someone to help 24 hours a day.
Thanks again guys. Oh shoot. Would it be okay to put them under a spiral cfl bulb? It's a 25 watt bulb.
Peace,
MC

Cant hurt at this stage, but get them under the high quality light ASAP.
