Anyone know if I can just use cheaper capacitors meant for the 1000w sodiums?

OK, i just moved the light downstairs, still nothing... damn.. I'm looking online for new caps and it seems that they are priced at $43 per.. thats $86 +shipping, damn..plus the 15 I paid for the ignitor, then i am at the cost of a new ballast if i order those caps :sad:... looks like i might as...

sorry i should have mentioned, definitely not the bulb, i have a lot of extras and none of the bulbs work

So, about a week ago i noticed one of my 1000w lights was not working. It still makes its buzzing sound when plugged in but the bulb isn't igniting... so I immediately replaced the ignitor and its still not working. The caps (theres 2 small ones instead of 1 large one) look perfectly fine, i...

Your better off painting them white then using foil. That foil is going to absorb more light then it reflects.

id hit it:hump:

thanks for the reply's everyone, unfortunately I have no more room for another tent. I'm thinking of going with the extra 1000w, but getting a dimmable ballast this time. I really think the added coverage will make it worthwhile! I don't expect to double my yield, just improve quality, Id be...

yup, mine will droop like that if i let the soil get over dried. Should definitely recover imo!

My flowering tent is 5x5 and right now i am running 1x1000w hps in a cooltube. The problem is i like too keep my grow perpetual so i have some different sized plants in there and its hard to spread my single 1000w across the whole canopy I really think if i cram another 1000w w/ cooltube in...
