mate,,,it could've been your timer,,is it an electronic one or mechanical,,cos the elec ones wont last long on a hps light cos they pull too much power for them to handle at the start

Mechanical, I think its because it dosnt have a real ground. just a hole there. My buddy gave it to me and I didnt realize he just cut a hole for the ground to go into. Gotta get a new one. Thanks though.
