has it actually tripped the breaker? and have you reset the breaker? i run my entire set up on 1 circuit and dont have any probs, if you are renting the house i would tell your land lord to have it professionally redone because it makes you not feel safe from fires or something like that and then just postpone the grow until after it is finished. hope it helps for what its worth lol

If its buzzing ur ballast is doing its thing. Maybe the bulbs were damaged in shipping or maybe the ballast itself was damaged. Could be a bad capacitor, igniter, I'm not sure. Best bet would be 2 email em bro. Just be polite and explain what's goin on with them and I'm sure they'll tell u or send a replacement for u

Actually I emailed the site I bought it from about it. All they can do it be rude about the shit. Nah ... they aren't about to be sending me a new one. I don't know whats wrong with it. I done payed damn near 200 for it. I hope its the bulb but I doubt it. It was in some protective wrap, so I don't see how it'd break. Thx for giving your input though. + rep

The breaker runs, two different parts of the house. I could take the same guess as you, and I did. It figured it might be the breaker. The system runs on 120 volts and can go higher, but its set on 120. I couldn't see why it wouldn't work. Maybe the part of my house I tested it in doesn't give out the full 120. I do remember hearing before we moved into this house that the two sets of the breaker, share power from for both sides of the house, so it may be. If that's the cause, I am going to take it over to a close relatives and test it out. It makes the buzzing noise though, and that is what has me confused. Could it be the igniter? Idk but I'm going to buy a new bulb for it just incase its the bulb. Thx people

Well here is what my 250w has done for me so far and all i can say is that this Bubba kush is probably one of the best looking plants ive ever grown. The base stalk is probably almost 3/4 to almost 1" in diameter and the 4 main colas are huge. Although it is the end of the first week pistil production is slow im guessing this is due to the 7 inches in height she just packed on in the last 8 days lol. Im hoping she doesnt stretch too much more. enjoy the pics sorry for the poor quality the wifes mom took my good camera on vacation with her hah

Hey there 250w growers, just wondering if any of you could list some good brand of bulbs. I have heard a lot of good things about the hortilux bulbs but unfortunately I cannot find any on ebay for the uk, seems it might be more of a US brand. Can anyone else suggest some other good brands please?

Thanks BB

jack harer.1.jpgpurple master kush.1.jpgpurple master kush.2.jpgsuper jack.1.jpgcrop.2.jpgalien white fire og.1.jpgcrop.1.jpgalien white fire og.2.jpg(update) day 23 of 12/12. I have a small problem with tiny small flys i think there coming out of the soil? then they fly around and get stuck in the buds trichomes and its fucking annoying i dont want to be smoking tiny flys when i harvest this bud. is it true that by applying sand on top of the pots will stop them from coming out or the adults laing eggs? i need them gone ones and for all, i have sticky strips all over and i cach alot but the keep coming back!

if you go on youtube and look up subcool he has about 3 videos about getting rid of gnats. yes they are coming from your soil my guess is you are using roots or FF cause those two have put out posts on their respective sites explaining the problem. There is a soil drench that Sub uses and it seems to work great. get some sticky traps to help with the ones that are flying around and put them at the base of your plant. heres the link if you dont have it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE-d3YhjMuM
