Club 315w lec

My Hydrofarm Phantom Ceramic ballast has the auto restrike feature in case of an outage. Both of my previous SunSystem LEC units featured that function, as well. Its a sad day when Hydrofarm products are outclassing SunSystem's.

I'll probably end up getting another Hydrofarm Ceramic Ballast, with a plug adapter, if the Prism LEC ballast is a no go.

Well mine has turned back on after the last outage. Like I said I am not sure if the quick loss tripped a breaker.

But we are about to get 3 days of lake effect rain and thunderstorms so I may have more info soon.

I run 7x prism 315s. I've not had a power failure yet. It does say in the instructions when changing the bulb, the power cord must be removed then plugged back in. Nothing about a power failure.

If they don't mention it in the manual then it doesn't have that feature. Thanks for sharing the info.

Mine is the all in one sunsystem hood unit with transformer to 110v. About 15 months since purchase. It cannot restrike unless i cool it down. If i need to turn off th light for some reason, it needs to stay off 10-15 min

That's how it's supposed to work.

and it doesnt restrike by itself after a certain amount of time. so if we have a 2 second power failure at midnight, the light will stay off until I check on it the next day at 6pm. not a huge deal unless I am off on holidays with nobody to check on it.

There's a piece of equipment out there called a delay timer; what it does whenever it detects an outage is delay by a set time, usually use adjustable, before it comes back on.

If you keep having power problems, this device will save your lamp and your grow.
 
so I'm currently on day 67 of flower, I was thinking is give them 70 Days of light, then lights out for 3 days, and cut on the morning of the 74th day..
I pulled one at 60 days, after sampling a bud off it at day 55, it was the first to start flower.

I tried taking a couple pictures with all 3 of my digital camera's
However, with their zoom's - I'm unable to get any view of the crystals to see if they are clear, milky or amber
the hairs are about 60-75% brown
some new pistols are coming in with pink growth.

5 plants left in a 4x4 under a 315 3100k
spent the first 38 days of flower under a 100 3w Epistar diode Blurple Led.

The have had some luck taking a pic through a 60x loupe. Or just got lucky taking a flash pic from a short distance to avoid glare and then closing in and taking screen shots until it gets too blurry.
 
My last two plant grow was with a 315 and a SS400 LED,

420 grams, 15 zips, not bad for and incidental grow, never really figured out how I wanted to do that grow. So, mainly just LST and a little Super Cropping.

I know nothing about dark days, have done 24 but no more. I look at the the trichs and when I think the are at the point that they will be after drying, I chop.
I normally will go a week before or after the suggested grow days, all depends on the trichs. I got a Buddy that will not let anything go cloudy and he grow some deep shit. I myself prefer, after cure and strain dependent for no amber and 50+% cloudy, for a sativa dom. For a indica, some amber but mostly cloudy.
Again that is just my preference.

BTW, those are lovely ladies, strain and days in flower?
