    New digital ballast making high pitch noise?!?

    Looking on the website the solis looks almost identical to the galaxy digital logic, from the outside anyway. The remotes look alike as well. I would not be surprised if they are made in the same factory. The MSRP differs by about $60 however, so they may have some different internal parts...

    New digital ballast making high pitch noise?!?

    How did you learn about that btw? I'd love to read about that... Like how would it know when you change locations? Would it do the search thing again?

    New digital ballast making high pitch noise?!?

    it is actually a galaxy So why does the 600w model not do that then? And if you listen to the audio you can hear it switching back and forth between two specific frequencies, doesn't sound like its searching, more like its stuck. Not that I don't believe you, that certainly does make sense...

    New digital ballast making high pitch noise?!?

    Thank you all very much for the help! This is ridiculous that multiple companies would put out a product that shares a component that makes such an ominous noise and not warn anyone! lol I guess i will "break it in" with my cheapest bulb. I don't want to risk damaging my $100 superHPS without...

    New digital ballast making high pitch noise?!?

    How long did it take to stop? Did it taper off slowly or stop all at once?

    New digital ballast making high pitch noise?!?

    That's insane that they don't warn you about the noise. It sounds like its about to blow up. Both of you are saying that ALL of your 1000w models did this? I guess its a matter of whatever component that's making the noise all being made in the same chinese factory for every manufacturer. What...

    New digital ballast making high pitch noise?!?

    If the 600 had made any similar noise I might be inclined to think it was normal, but even brand new, the 600 was almost silent except for the quiet buzz. They were both plugged into the exact same outlet at the same time as well. Heres the audio of what its doing...

    New digital ballast making high pitch noise?!?

    110, no fan. Main concern is whether there would be any reason the 1000w model would make this loud high pitched noise while the 600w model does not (both actually running a 600w bulb, just not running the 1000w at max capacity) I would rather not mention the model, I am very happy with my...

    New digital ballast making high pitch noise?!?

    Anyone had an issue where a new ballast is making a high pitch noise whenever a bulb is lit? It is a 1000w digital which can be switched between 400, 420, 600, 630, 1000, etc. and the built in odometer confirms that it is in fact new. It is from one of the major manufacturers, not some chinese...

    Nirvana White Widow (F) nute burn or deficiency?

    I am working on a heater system, should eliminate these temperature swings. However the problem was there even before the recent cold weather. It has just got worse since. Thanks much for your assistance!

    Nirvana White Widow (F) nute burn or deficiency?

    I have been reading how white widow can be very temperamental with feeding. I'm hoping someone with WW experience can recognize the problem. Out of 6 plants three look good, one is a little dark and two are all f**ked up. They are ready to go into flowering (about 3 months old right now), are...

    Possible Nitrogen N or Magnesium Mg deficiency? Yellow leaves...

    So you are saying that just because it burned doesn't mean anything because burn can show up quickly but deficiency can take 2 weeks? But how do I have N deficiency if they are in Ocean Forest plus the additional veg nutes? I was told OF by itself was supposed to have enough N-P-K for 3 to 4...

    Possible Nitrogen N or Magnesium Mg deficiency? Yellow leaves...

    Hey all, hows it going everyone. Need some assistance with this grow. They are having problems with lower and low middle leaves turning yellow. Old growth only. They have been in FFOF for about 3 weeks, but they have been yellowing as soon as 10 days after transplant into OF. I had originally...
