I went and bought a new Ignitor yesterday but didnt put it in cuz the guy there said as long as the MH is lighting up its working properly... Please any other help?? need to get these girls in flower b4 they get too big.

Cheers.

my cusin is a electriction he said 3 and a half mins is fine, u can touch the bulb by then. i only wait 3 - 5 mins and i've NEVER had any problems! been doing it 10 yrs +

(all they had were all in one units... light+ballast in one... got them to make a remote ballast.) Seeing as they said the total opposite to what you all are saying about the ignitor... its prob best to get your opinion on it.

Cheers... brb

it needs to be the EXCACT same ignitor or it wont work, i've tried swapping them from other ballast and noting no striking no noises, hey 1 question when a hps bulb is in there and u try turning it on does he choke make any noises after a few seconds like cicking or ticking or humming ?

... As far as I know its the exact same ignitor... and yes... well kinda. I wouldnt say a few seconds after... that might be kinda long but right as the bulb is being struck i think I do hear some sort of clicking noises. But anyway... again EFF dis shit!! Im taking the ballast back to the store and have them figure it out themselves and fix it... I need to start flowering.

Cheers
