issue #1
I own a lumatek 600 watt digital ballast, and I'm using a sumaster metal halide conversion bulb. My ballast seems to get really hot, I thought that digital ballasts don't get hot???? The only conclusion I came to, was that the conversion metal halide bulb was the cause. Any thoughts??
issue #2
This is my first real indoor grow, I don't understand the concept of light timers. Theres a power strip in my grow tent with all the fans plugged in, do I plug the light timer into this, then plug the lumatek light system into the timer??????? Whats the skinny on timers????!!!!
issue #3
My plants are currently in seedling stage. Due to trial and error equipment problems, and the learning process of my first grow, my light cycles have not been accurately at 18 on and 6 off. Do you think this will drastically stress my plants out?
