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!

We have had a lot of trouble over the years with transplants into Maine too, they come here for the laid-back way of life then set about doing everything they can to fuck it up. Assholes.

I've been running two digital ballasts in my growroom for quite awhile now, was running two ReVolts for quite a while then recently replaced my flower tent ballast with a SolisTek, haven't ever had any trouble with them at all. The tv in the bedroom is actually pretty damn close to the SolisTek and there's no interference at all, I was kinda afraid there would be the way some people talked about them but, nothing. Never messed with a camera or a cellphone or anything either.
I love my SolisTek, glad I went that way, this thing's a beast! I'm running mine on the boost setting, getting an extra 10% out of it, it's noticeably brighter and I can tell my plants like it so, I'm sticking with it.

I would think they'd have the same connector type, shouldn't be a problem I wouldn't think.

If not, you should be able to just get an adapter kinda like the one in the link, or maybe just like it for all I know, anyway, my plugs are just like the large end of that.

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.

Can not help a bit about these. All my growing has been done with LED`s.

I think with the new digis the most important thing you can do to prevent RF is to keep your lampcords short and never bundle or roll them up.
Think about gavitas,0 RF because there is no lampcord,i assume others like nano are the same but I can't speak to them.

Built one light, 200 watt, is brighter then the 300 watt on the other end of my grow room. Growth from both seem pretty equal. If anything, the new light has better penetration. Built the frame from angle aluminum, as was suggested from the company. Now I see that they will build a frame for ya. More fun to build your own though.

Hope everyone has a great Turkey Day tomorrow!

yooper420 · Nov 24, 2016

Evening all, join me as I set here sucking on my vape, contemplating the days happenings. Seems that I just keep getting further behind. I know what it is now. The days are just too short anymore. Puffin` and passin`.

smokedareefer · Nov 24, 2016

i never thought the days were too short. i just always felt there just wasn't enough days.

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.

brother i still think back to my four legged family (cats and dogs) members that have crossed the rainbow bridge. i miss each and everyone of them.

i have never used the digital ballast but i do know my magnetic and it will put lines in my pics but my led will to. if you take a radio or a tv near the place where the ballast is it will tell you if you have the interference. i have been told about folks messing up the tv's in the house next door if to close.

yooper420 · Nov 24, 2016

Good morning smokedareefer, giggy and the rest of the OFC.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Happy Stuff the Face Day
Stuffin` the Muffin Day
Do not forget to wear your strechy pants.
Start the day off the OFC way, with a cup of coffee and a bowl of medicinal herb. It`s "wake n bake" time in Curmudgeonland. Here we go, puff, puff, cough and pass.
