Help! I am on my 3rd crop with my 1000w electronic ballast. It is one of the automatic MH/HPS switchable ballasts, but doesn't have a brand name on it. I'm just into week 3 of my 3rd crop and I came in the evening to find the lights off. DEVASTATION! The white fuse button was blown out, so I pushed it back in. It immediately pops out and a few sparks. I have run an extension cord all over the house to see if a different plug/circuit might help, but it doesn't. The ballast fuse button can still be pressed in, and the thing sounds like it is going to startup, but then pops. Is it a bad ballast? Am I running too much amperage? Why am I not getting light!?
