Ive been understanding that the lines across the screens is caused by magnetic ballasts, but with a digital/electronic ballast this prob has been corrected or is not an issue. correct or no?

good question. I personally don't like the lines they put out on pics/video's too...Quality clear pics are always best, when your looking for help with plant problems, and if it does produce the lines then...IMO not good pics...always can be better. Clear Quality pics will help us to give the best advise for ones garden.

do you have a dig/elec. ballast? if so post a pic...and we will be able to see whether they effect quality or not.
 
Yes agree pics with lights off and with the camera flash are alot better.

Its the difference in hertzs rates between mag and electronic ballasts. Electronic ballasts have a much higher hertz cycle than mag ballasts where the slower cycle rate shows up as lines. The lines created by an electronic ballast move or occur too fast to be captured by average camera shutter speeds......

Del66666 those plants look like they are made of nug, are there any trade secrets to doing a plant 12/12 from seed? seems like you are getting more nug on those plants than alot of people who are vegging for weeks. Im guessing youve narrowed down strains that produce well with the 12/12 from seed, mind sharing?

My camera takes excellent pictures with lights on, but Im using a MH right now, hopefully it still works with the HPS. my cellphone will only take pictures with lines however, so it does depend on your camera.
 
You know you can take a pair of sunglasses and put them infront of the lense of your camera and it takes the lines out of the pictures and filters out the different rays. I got that good bit of info from the guy at the local hydroshop

and does it effect the quality of pics? can you still see, clear, close up pics with this technique?
 
:leaf:these lights definitely do not show good quality pics, even though they are interesting to see them under this colored light, not good quality for pics, especially if you're asking for advise on, if my plants look healthy. :leaf: please turn them off for pics, just use a normal light bulb for pics :bigjoint:

yea i agree this is important. turn off the crazy lighting, especially if you use LEDs with 32 different colors, and your room is a neon purple or some crazy color, it doesnt help. get a regular bulb, take the pic, then go back to your crazy light set up
 
magnetic ballast are not as effective in creating the plasma necessary for the bulb and therefore the light flickers fast (so fast it hard to detect with the human eye), creating the lines found in cameras. Digital ballast don't have this problem.
