how bad is it? remember unless you run a square wave ballast, you will get some flicker, and even a sq wave will likely flicker, but may be faster than an eye or lens can detect without adjustment, it will be more solid than a sine wave of course

Hey Ecompost. I figured out the issue. My buddy brought over one of his "e" bulbs. I guess they are rated for divi ballasts. The thing fired up like a light saber. I guess my ballast didn't like the ol'skool bulb. And to answer your ?. It was not even a flicker. The bulb would fire up for about 10sec, then shut off for about 30sec. This process would just repeat itself over and over..

I like the idea of starting from seed. I guess I could be considered a seed myself in this process..

ah yes, so it was arcing and flipping out LOL OK glad its sorted, safety first, know the limits of the tech I guess and not everything is backwardly compatible. it is worth mentioning this buddy since other people might come across this in the future where on a budget they borrow or piece together

Ecompost. Yes, that is why I brought it up. I know as a newb it was pissing me the hell off. Like cursing and kicking at the air kind of mad. lol. I figured someone else out there might be having the same issue. Thought I would help the farm out.

Why buy 20lb tanks when you can have 50s for twice the price?lol.
I get my 50s swapped out for 10-12 bucks at my welding supply,their super light,not even aluminum,spun fiberglass or something?Weight used to be the issue and aluminum was half the weight of a steel tank,the new spun tanks are half the weight of an aluminum,20s are just a way to keep you returning to the hydro shop.
