Back in my hayday here, before being crowned I ran 1000 watters :P. I definitely was not an LED grower back then I was just interested in new technology. I have done countless HID grows and LED grows, commercial and hobby style. :P But uncle bob could bob does have a tent full of gorillas.

Haven't done commercial leds yet, don't know anyone who can afford to outfit a 30 light room with leds lol.

If you got the fans and everything too keep it cool already bob I would say just go grab the mags. and do work with them.

1000watt comparable LED's are too expensive right now to buy IMO. DIY is the only way to make a 1000 watt replacement affordable. Area51 are probably the most reasonably priced next to Optic Lighting.

If I was closer to you guys I'd build you one.

Optics got good shit though, they use quality parts. Apparently they offer financing now.

I've got the ac, fans, everything. sitting looking sad and lonely. Scared to repower them but if it was digital ballasts causing the problem; in theory shouldn't magnetic be OK?

In other news: Orange Juice is smelling like Orange Juice. Who woulda thunk?

As far as I know magnetics don't leak RF like digitals do. They just hum a bit :)

I've only owned 2 digital ballasts. One was perfect one leaked RF and fucked up my cable. And the ballast alone cost me $350 locally so it's not like I should be getting garbage quality. I think if I ever had to buy another ballast it would be mag.

That hurt my balls looking at prices. LOL. to match 2000 watts I'd be spending some coinage!

I really appreciate your help and tips Mr head. I wish you lived closer too! I'd make it very worth your while to build me a badass light! :)

MendoBreath x DCure View attachment 3494854View attachment 3494855 got to see these in the Springs over the weekend...smoke is strong and sweet, kinda like a doughnut with chem infused glazed. It'll be in April but can't wait to go back and see if he gets that purple rain dialed in.

Ive ran the Nanolux 1000w since they came out. Never had problems like I did with Lumatek. The nanos are small & wont mess with cable or rf signals or whatev, theyre small, quiet, lightweight & theyre cheap...go to best damn hydro.com cant beat the price!

Have one of those rocking in the gorilla tent. Maybe that's why the garage is ok. The offending room had 2 "global greenhouse" (cheap boolshit) ballasts. Either way I'm going magnetic now in that room.

Or I may just keep it on ice until I move which should be in the next 6 months and I'm buying a house. That baby will be hooked up with enough amperage to power Clark griswolds Christmas lights. :)

Matching a ballast to the correct globes is pretty essential if going electronic. Bit of a pain but man the extra lumens are well worth it. Mags are tanks tho they last forever but also do suck more juice. Very happy going electronic myself. LED just won't work I have too little headroom atm

good call, that's probably the most over looked thing about LED's. You gotta hang em pretty high over the plants or they will bleach em out bad.

I've been lowering my light bar slightly and trying to get it as close as possible without negative effects. Haven't found the sweet spot just yet :)

Yeah I can't wait to get my thumbs green again, I really enjoy getting to bask in the glory when I do visit...GGG has definitely been the bulk of his stable since I showed him what's up, on top of these he ran Blue in Green, D-Cure, Salvation, Orange Juice, Lemon Puff, and some diamonds and dust. Non-GGG fire was Sappy Sour 2.0 from pollen nation, shit looks like it was dipped in chrome.
