Well flipped 3 days ago should of been 10 days ago, but due to the spider mites 2 weeks ago. I help up to try and get those under control. Seems I have no bugs in 7 days

Now since the delay in flip I am concerned about the stretch. Head room is going to be s problem, as the space at bottom is a solid mass too.

Question. Plans. To trim bottoms due to being so bushy and clone a few. Hope like heck I have enough head room. (3x4x6.5'). Plants are almost 20"x20" Anyone. There are 6 plants two are regs. So could have 4-5-6 fems. Hoping that regs is only 2 fem lol

Suggestion. F%^#~

No pic due to dark time. Pic is 10 days ago. So you can imagine

Dunno, I assume you've tried the ballast on different hood and lamp thats known working other than that hydrofarm is good about returns but that appears to be the revised version. I've had problems with every knock offi I've tried except for Pargrow and the latest brand Galaxy, its.still early though and both have plenty time to let me down. I can say I've not had one issue with sun systems lec which uses the genuine philips ballast. The galaxy seems promising and has a dimming feature, the Pargrow also seems solid but lacks any features other than neon green paint. Another thing to note would be lamp cord length Different brands seem to vary in maximum length .

That and a 30 dollar step transformer IF you can only run 120v may be the way to go , so far I'm confident with the Pargrow and Galaxy, of those two I like the Galaxy just because it has a dimming feature and cost me a bit less than the Pargrow, also as I've already stated the Pargrow housing in exact to the ceramic science 315 ballast at growershouse for 167 dollars or so, minus the neon green paint anyway. Next 315 ballast I try will be Solis Tek C1, uhf sine being the difference from most other 315 ballasts. Which is why I'm interested in @doniawon results with the DNA.

@dbkick has had his go rounds with China Farm equipment, perhaps he can make a helpful suggestion.

Mine is more pedestrian; use a Philips ballast.

yea the summit fired right up after swapping cords.

I'll b going for pargrow/ceramic science, next.

Got a dna going in there now! Seems to work well.
Hydrofarm is generally solid so can't bitch much. But if u got the money Phillips is the smart choice.

Ballast and lamp kit was $190, not my idea of expensive at all.

@doniawon if you in the market for a ballast check out the galaxy ballast. Growershouse had them very reasonable and sometimes they run some nice extra sales. Haven't had it running real long so far no problems. It running cooler to the touch than my hydrofarm and the ballast is dimmable(prolly won't ever use it but nice to have) and it had the standard plug reflector cord and not the special hydrofarm one.
