Just for shits & grins, I checked ebay. No such animal to be had. After eight years of use, I'd probably do like you planned and shit can it for a digital. Probably save some KW hours, as the digitals are supposed to be more efficient.

If you're buying a new digital ballast I'd recommend a SolisTek, solid piece of equipment and they can run single or double ended bulb setups, something that I thought was really cool since I've considered going to DE at some point down the road... we'll see.
Definitely worth checking out, they have the Solis-Boost setting too which pushes an extra 10% out of your bulb and they claim it doesn't hurt them at all. Not sure if that's completely true or not but, I'm pushing that extra 10% out of my Digilux and I can see the difference, in light output and in the reaction by my plants.

I am way too nervous around wires.........i used to trim powerlines and have seen some asplundh guys(not who i worked for) get killed not respecting their training, one in absecon NJ actually burned his arms off so tbh i just think in the long run after replacing a 50 dollar capacitor, maybe the ignitor too after it being run pretty solidly since 2008, lmao the wife says to leave it where it lays and be happy it gave me so many yrs of service......shes a navy lady, and she's right! I can buy a 5 yr warranteed 600 replacement ballast for around 125-150 tops so imho its worth it. Hard to believe folks but i made this ballast run from 2008 to just this past august, neevr changed a capacitor,ignitor, ANYTHING. It's due for upgrade anyway! by the way my mh is 4200k. a lot of led setups are running 4000k so you can use the same light for veg and flower.
View attachment 647545 View attachment 647546 View attachment 647547 On a SUPER positive note I have found a superb replacement bulb for the time being and honestly the last 48 hours underneath a new plantmaxx 400mh, 7200k bulb has made my plants turn SUPER greasey! I am in utter AWE right now, I only have them in flower under a MH because my hps in down atm and im impressed my friends! I reached back to water a plant in the back of the tent and brushed a flower (10 days into 14/10) with my armhair and it dreadlocked up my armhair! REEKS of pinetrees and lemon, never had em this sticky so early..............

i ran the whole flower under mh as it was what i had and the buds where smaller it was good. the smell was strong and the buzz was killer. same strain under hps was good, big buds but not much smell. same under led, not much smell. i know of some folks that use nothing but mh and they love it. as they say mh for a keeper and hps for the sale.

Good morning giggy, mendel, Sunbaked and the rest of the OFC members. Hope everyone has a great day today. Got my coffee, packing a bowl for a session of "wake n bake". Ready, set and puff, puff, cough and pass.

Thanksgiving Eve, brings a tear to my eye as last year on this day my little buddy, for the last 14 1/2 years, crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. Damn, I miss that little fucker. As another tear falls from my eye, I can reminisce about the happiness he brought into my world. "Cheech", gone, but never far from my thoughts.

We always called it "titty city". Wasn't one of my favorites, but a good one, none the less.

Yup, "Tittie City" was on their t shirts. Sure wish I had one left. "Titties and beer" was the cry for lunch, which consisted of a beer or two, a cheeseburger, fries and a joint for dessert. Never was there at night, just a lunch spot.

HIGH! Good morning,(9:55 in my house is pretty much noon lol) Ran into a psycho walking the puppy this morning who proceeded to tell me the bike path is hers, that my dog was nasty for shitting in the treeline, and then she proceeded to spit in my face........walked this path for 35 yrs with no issue's............THIS is why new arrivals to my homestate bother me. Luckily for her she ran into me and not one of these good ole boys ....they woulda gave her some soil to eat.........
Yeah guys super stoked that i found the MH comparison bulb for flower that works so damn well! I def am considering going either pulse start or pure digital, can you describe this rf interferance that digid put off though? thats the only reason i didnt buy the phantom digital ballast back in 2012, I am curious to see what i can produce with two tents of flowering one hps one hortilux blue and plantmaxx 7200. Psyched man! Hope all of you have a good turkey day man. Hopefully mine will be uneventful!

I don't drink either.........but if i were back in my hayday id be using those badboys..........sadly with all the hours ive devoted to beer it never blessed me with such nice glasses! So yooper........can you guys help me understand the "interferance" that digi ballasts put off? Or is that not proven? I may invest in a solistek but need to make sure my preexisting cooltubes can still be utilized.

I've never experienced any interference with the three digitals I use. I have seen pics that peeps posted that have horizontal lines going through them which they claim was cause by their magnetic ballast.

As far as the beer mug goes, I'd be afraid I'd get hammered and poke my eyes out with those nipples!

The loon ball you encountered? I've never hit a woman in my life, but I've never had one spit in my face, either. I would hope I would handle it the same way you did, but I know in my heart she might have a rough time spitting in the next person's face with her jaw wired shut.
