You didn't need no 600 to pop by here stoney but your made it so that's good enough. What are you posting there?
I've lurked for quite a bit and drooled!!!! up till this point in time i've grown all LED. still use em... always will. it was just HIGH time i got an HPS... so why not a 600!!! my ultimate plan is to run the 600 vertical and the leds on top!! but that's for another day and time. till then i'm gonna rock this brand new HPS bulb for all she's worth!!!!!!

that bud was an Ice x Caseyband.(the caseyband that came from a bud that DST grew. not sure how, or when, but it's the story i was told.) the rest of her was grown by HC. then i got the pleasure and honor of growing the mix of all that!!!!!!

supposedly "2 teaspoons of baking soda and 4 drops of dish detergent in a quart of water works quite well." on the pm issue. I probably wouldnt take it in.

jig, the splitter doesn't work? Did the guy at the hydro store even look at it? lol

Looks like I am trading some teens (4 blue dream and 3 gods gift) for a 1000 watt setup. I might end up with that in my flower tent as it is a packed house in there and Ill need the extra lumens. I might use the 600 hps and a 400 mh in my veg area instead of the 1000 in there now

Welcome again stoneyluv

Nice score Bassman. Solve two problems at once. Clear a little space out the grow room, and add more light. Awesome.

Did it not work with two HPS bulbs?

It's not the hydro guy... it's me. I should have read about the thing more before I spent money on it. I haven't tried it. There are a few reasons. First I don't have two hoods... only sockets with wires, so I would have to cut the splitter to expose wires to hook it up... And then I couldn't return or resell it. I have 2 - 600w hps bulbs... but I don't want to blow them out by trying this thing. Apparently you need pulse start bulbs ??? I think there are a couple reasons I'm forgetting. Plus there is this bit I read on good old RIU:

sorry guys, im with wolverine on this one...

...the math does not support the manufacturers claims.

and they say use a mag ballast only because your tryin to run a 1200w load thru a 1000w device. the soft iron core and copper windings of the autotransformer in a mag ballest might be able to take that extra current drag for a bit, but its going to tax the hell out of a digi ballast...

a ballast is a current limiting autotransformer.
key word- current limiting

so you got two bad things going on here-
1- overtaxing the ballast. the additional demand of two 600w lamps is hell on both the ballast, and the starter.
2- underpowering your lamps. nothing ruins a lamps output (or any inductive device, for that matter) faster than undervoltage.

good luck with it... im sure advanced will come up with one that gives you 200% lumen increase soon :lol:
I went to a Monster Jam at Jack Murphy back in the day. Lol... I think... maybe it was motocross. One or the other, hehe. Have fun bro. Should be a blast.
