Does that mean it has a timer...???

noit doesnt it means it doesnt have magnents

butter...can you be specific...

no they dont cum with timers they use digital circuitry to increase the volts and amps to run the lamp. not magnents like non digitals they dont have timers in them u have to buy a timer seperatly why would u think they have timers?

butter..i'm learning, i was thinking digital meaning clock-timer..my bad..i'm getting it together....just like nodes...i'm still stuck on what people are talking about when they mention them in reference to aero systems..I mean nutes..but I think they are just nutrients you put in....

lots of slang u will get use to it most peps dont like to type alot

My apologys.....nutes...they are????

thair is a thread at the top of the newbie page with all the slang and defanitions... with your digital ballast you will be able to use hps or mh without getting a sperate ballast or special bulb

appreciate that...I did look at that, but all it says was that it provides current and power though..thanks though!!

Hey butter what size HPS are you running? I was thinking of going with a 600w since it's only about $20 more than a 400w, but the digital ballasts I looked at (Lumitek was one) said they only do HPS with the 600w models. I guess a conversion bulb would take care of that.

I think the 1000w would be a little overkill at this point, Heat and electrical cost are the biggest obstacles with the 1000w right now. The 400w might be a little small. I'm not sure how big my grow room will be. I know where it will be and I have most of the equipment already. Probably looking at 5x5 or 6x6 7 foot high, the room will be bigger than the grow area so I have some room to move around. Waiting for my electrical service to be upgraded and I don't want someone wondering what I'll be doing.

Are the digital much better than the magnetic? Thanks.
