    Bizzare lighting problem with ballasts

    Yeah man it F'ed with my head big time. My 1000 uses 9.2 amps and my 600 uses 5.6 amps and a out take fan. I have about 16 amps on my 20 line. I think I'll just leave it at that.

    Bizzare lighting problem with ballasts

    I did check them. I have that exact tester. The 2 yellow lights lit up indicating the line is correct. Honestly I never tested the bulb at the store because when I plugged it into the lumatek I had around 96,000 lux so I determined the bulb was good. If it said 96,000 in a 600 ballast shouldn't...

    I have a old school tube driven Heath kit multimeter from the 70s. All I ever really did with it was test battery voltage and find shorted wires in my old VW bug.

    Bizzare lighting problem with ballasts

    Hey Orbo, everything is 110. Ballasts and the electrical line. The magnetic does support both but I do not have a 220 line so I can't use it. But I plugged a kill o watt meter in and it 59-60hz and and it said 116-117 volts. I plugged a outlet tester in as well and the 2 lights lit up...

    Bizzare lighting problem with ballasts

    I have always used a 600 lumatek and I wanted to add a 1000 hps to the room as well. So I got a old heavy white hydro farm 1000 hps magnetic ballast from a friend for free. I buy a new ( light speed) 1000 w hps bulb for it. Just to set it up and it visually looked dimmer then the 600. So I...

    What temp does everyone decarb oil?

    What temp does everyone decarb oil?

    I notice that if I go over around 210 degrees F the oil starts to smoke a bit. I've seen youtube vids where rick Simpson says you can go up to 290f. If it's smoking a bit isn't that valuable thc and cbd burning into the air?

    Trichs never turn amber: NEED ADVISE

    And here's my random sativas. One is a clone and the bulkier lookin one is from seed that I found in a bag of Stoney weed. They keep shooting new white hairs on the tops. It seems like it won't stop making new flowers but yet it's been flowering since mid October. Is this normal?

    Trichs never turn amber: NEED ADVISE

    Ok this indica plant seems to have the hairs receding into the buds and the hairs are 99% orange. Still milky trichs. I basically looked over the whole plant and there's like 3 amber trichs, same as a week ago. It's a clone from a ramulan mother I got from Colorado. It was killer smoke grown out...

    Anybody have any neat ideas for kief extraction devices?

    dam great idea with the sander. I have the same sander right here next to me. How exactly does it work? Rubber feet on the box allowing it to vibrate with the sander? What's the attachment you have on the sander?

    Anybody have any neat ideas for kief extraction devices?

    Wow I never heard of using dry ice. Where do you get it from? Also when you mix it in the bag with the ice do you use one of those mixers that looks like a handheld milkshake mixer? I actually have some bubble bags and a few times I'd put a couple baggies worth of trim in a bucket full of ice...
