Hey gals 'n guys,
Some of you - OK, one or two of you - might remember this lil thread:
http://www.marijuanapassion.com/forum/showthread.php?t=63523
Here is what I have done/learned since then... I replaced the ballast and still had the same problem.More googling revealed that it was likely a bulb issue not an electrical or ballast issue.
So, I sprang for the pricier "Hortilux" bulb. No more issues with random, arbitrary shut-offs. Everything seems to be going fine now.
I should prolly write the ballast supplier that I was in error, that it was the crappy bulb they sent, which only lasted for five months.
I'm a bit surprised that more of you have not had similar experiences...?
Cheers,
