Gonna try to make this short but as detailed as I can. Vegged 12 plants for 6 weeks under a 600w mh and 300 watts of t5 flouros. Never an issue with the electricity. Yesterday switched the light cycle to 9pm to 9am, now using one 600 hps and one 1000 hps each on seperate 20 amp circuits with nothing else running on those circuits. Woke up this morning at 6:00 am, checked on the girls and the 1000w bulb was out (brand new bulb) also noticed digital clock was flashing so im thinking power went out very briefly because my timer was still reading accuratly, unplugged the thousand and plugged it back in, came right on. Day two of 12/12 lights came on at 9:00pm all good, 11:00 Im watching TV and I lose all power in the house for about a half second, check the lights 600 good 1000 out, plug it back in and its back on. Ten minutes later same shit, this time I look outside and notice that its pitch black outside, theres two hps street lights in front of my house that were slowly coming back on. Ten min later after pluggin the thou back in I go outside and watch my neighbors lights flicker on and off so now as you could imagine Im like wtf!!!!! This time said @&$@ the 1000 and just unplugged it. Of course power stayed on and hasnt happened since. Anyway could someone with some electrical knowledge please assure me that me and one measly 1k bulb are not causing all this drama and it is just purely coincedance. Sorry so long and drawn out just ultra paranoid about it. Thanks in advance.

some drunk hit a power trunk line, and you probably saw the blips as the grid reconfigured

plug it back in....wait ten minutes...if it does it again, you've been cursed by pot fairies.

lol let me assure you that your 1000w bulb isn't doing fuck all.

What you seem to be getting is a burnt or poor neutral in the electrical grid of your area. Has nothing to do with you and once repaired you should be back on your way
