It would inevitabily be one of the electrlytics, they do have quite a limited lifespan at high temps.
I would make a list of all values, voltages, case diameters and the spaceing of the pins, then replace the whole bunch.
I'm one of those sadist fuckers who loves fixing stuff.
There's only one capacitor in a 'magnetic' ballast, usually 26 μF, 525V for a 1000W HPS. Not electrolytic; it's an oil-filled, non-polarised type.

Al, Thanks for your response!. I'm in the US so it's Canna Aqua. What exactly should I use? Just part A & B?
Yep!
No other Canna products or any other additives?
Nope!
I'm well aware that many growers seem to think they need to add a number of magic sauces to grow dope, but the vast majority (if not all) of them are unnecessary. They tend to be very effective for making profit for retailers but not for much else.
I also could veg them for a little longer and try to get them looking a little better before I put them into bud? So if you could tell me exactly what to use for veg and bloom including any additives,if any that would be great!
I haven't see a pic of the whole plant, so I don't know how badly your plants are cooked. May or may not be recoverable. Pls post a whole plant view. In any case, when a plant is damaged, if you can veg it a bit longer, at least until you see fresh, correct growth, you can have some confidence that it's worth going forward & trying to flower it. If you don't see new, healthy growth in a week or so, it may be more worthwhile to start over.
My ppm's have been around 800ppm for the last few weeks. I always went lighter then the manufacturers suggested directions. That's why it's frustrating to hear I possibly burnt them. But I guess it also could be to much of one thing like the calmag I thought it was lacking.
Ca & Mg will not cause nute burn. You can mix totally correctly and still get nute burn if there's nute salt residues in the system. Make sure the system is totally clean.
Based on the conversion chart I use a Hannah meter I should be around 800ppm. I been changing my res out every 7 days. So would that be h2o2 added twice in that period?
Yes, H2O2 every 3-4 days.
I've definitely have cut down on my overall nutrients from when I first start growing in soil. If I told you what I was using then you might of threw me out of the forum! They get you hooked like a street corner dealer!
As said previously, hydro shops busy themselves with selling you what they have, not what you need.
I also should mention when I found that slime in my res at the time I also noticed fungus gnat larvae swimming in my res and in the little bit of water left in my pots. I used some Gognats in my res for a week and then flushed with h2o2 then changed my res out added nutrients and added half strength of gognats. It seemed to work as I don't see any more at all. There wasn't a lot to start with but jumped on it right away. I also have yellow sticky paper up in every third pot and I've still haven't seen a gnat on them.
Good. Remember to use such things totally per mfr's instructions. Don't be tempted to use more than is recommended.
saves me $2/litre over the 5L packaging ($87). Was coincidentally placing an order with my supplier today & will be getting the 20L size. Hoping there is a tap on these jugs to make refilling 5L jugs a bit easier. I usually keep a pair of 5L jugs in the grow room for handy access- but there's no room for 20L jugs in there. Cheers for the suggestion.
