A Lil Bit Of Everything

Anything else in the house go out?when your garage trips.

Naw nothing gen very surprised I was think long it may have been that but everything works.

Say what cable people? I have two digital ballast now I'm worried lol and damn might be time to switch up if the pieces are old

I'm sure your two is fine it's when you have a lot of them that fucks with the frequencies. You should be good but I'm thinking it's just the ballast hopefully it's old was given to me by someone else so hopefully that's it. I'll plus up others when I get home to see what's up

Yeah I hope not did some reading on it I have internet cable and have no problems one of my ballasts says its rf protected on ebay the Ipower one don't think so but either way I think I'm good I only have two 400ws might upgrade after this run just to be safe

Capacitor is usually the first thing to go bad in mag ballasts.
Would cause overload if it goes bad, not very expensive either.
Replace that first if you really think it is the 1kw causing the problems.

You may have something else on that circuit that's overloading it bro. I had the same issue and found it was a faulty laptop charger...

Yea I'm gonna plug the light up on a different circuit to see if it fires up cus really think it's the ballast

I tried it with nothing but the light plugged and it still reset it it every time it tried to fire up. Pretty sure nothing else is attached to this circuit so I hope it's just the ballast but will figure it out. Have others to plug up to see so I'll find out tonight

 

[akhiymjames]

Ok I think I figured it out and I'm leaning hard to that the ballast has quit working and isn't firing up the light anymore. Plugged the light into a completely different circuit and he ballast hummed like it was gonna fire up but he light never cut on I let it run long as possible as I know it takes a while to get hem going but it never came on. Plugged back into where it has been and resets the circuit immediately. Has to be ballast as my veg light are working.

Next is to try the light with a different ballast which I'm about to do right now. If the light cuts on its def the ballast if it doesn't maybe the bulb? Never had this so still kinda stumped but I feel much better knowing the light didn't work on another circuit. Still been trying to find if anything new in the house has been plugged up but haven't and tbh it shouldn't affect the garage on a different circuit. Have two in the garage so shouldn't anything else in the house be overloading the garage. Will update after testing another ballast

are any electrical connections/wres which could be pulled loose by everyday use checked already?

 

[Vnsmkr]

resetting of the circuit sounds like something burned....

 

[akhiymjames]

Helllll yessssss!!!!!! It was just the ballast lol I can sit back and laugh now but man I sure wasn't laughing about this Cherry Pie and Sfv OG getting no light for 2-3 days but everything is back to normal thank the lord. Thanks everyone who all tried to help. Glad these ballasts have something to trip the circuit if it's not working. Now just have to get another ballast but I'm good for now just need another one so when I crack everything up soon​

Glad to hear you got it sorted

trust me, the cabl company and the fcc can detect the rf. they drive around looking for leaks. I used to work for time warner. noise pollution from rf frequencies is a big deal and jams up radar etc. I still use digis but just sayin...

Yea you are right and which is why I have no digitals around me. I don't want the attention but I think only two will be fine I know of a few people on here that was running 6+ so that's why they were on them. I just can't afford none of the attention

 

[akhiymjames]

Now I'm off to put this water pump on the car lol. Shouldn't be too long and then I can sit back and watch the Kentucky Derby do some gardening

 

[eastcoastmo]

Awesome to hear you got it sorted bro I wanna see your cherrie pie dankness!!

Hmm well I don't think they drive around my area I live in the hood lol but I am gonna take precautions and switch to rf protected or magnetic
Cuz if they show up at my door tryna come in like they the popo they getting they ass beat with long ass thick weed stems

Looks like one of my recent aloha grape stomper maybe's. Turned out to be a girl

Bro you nailed it on the money when you said my SinMints #1 would be female. Checked her this morning as I have been checking her for past two weeks since I posted the pic of what looked like male preflowers but wasn't at all. Took a long while to sex as I didn't have her completely under the flower tent lights well I didn't have the other two on only have the one 1000w going right now till I have enough plants to run all three so she wasn't getting the best of light to help speed the sexing but I like it this way cus she only has two very tiny preflowers on her at the top node and should go right back to vegging with no hiccups.

Gonna take clones of her and I may top but don't know. She's well past where I like to top so that may be dead lol but I never ran a I topped plant before so prolly will keep her that way to see how she grows naturally. Def a mixed pheno as node spacing is very tight not like cookies but has some Forum traits showing so will be interesting. Only two more to sex which I just threw in so maybe another couple weeks since they getting same treatment but I'm hoping one of them are male. I need to make these cookie crosses I wanna make

if its too late to top you can always LST

 

[akhiymjames]

Yea I've done that with her already lol. She's got a nice big supercrop knuckle in the middle of her and I'll tie her back down to encourage the side branching to grow up more

Sick dude, that's awesome news!!! Woo hoo

 

[akhiymjames]

Sick dude, that's awesome news!!! Woo hoo

Got an awesome care package from my bro too. 8 great crosses I know I will love for sure. Sin City crosses and some amazing Blueberry crosses. Appreciate the love bro truly and can't wait to dig into them. Tell me about what's in #1 and #2 again
