I'm disapointed -- I've been growing 6 Afghani #1's for over 2 months --- they finally showed sex & they're all males -- they are almost 30 inches tall ... Guess I'll start over... I've got 6 more seeds ---

that would be fall --- & not an option.. I figure there is a point of no return when a plant is in flower --- it wont go back -- no matter what the light ? Like at 7 - 8 weeks ?

If I move my plants outside will they finish flowering or revert? They are week 7 flowering and supposed to go 10 weeks to finish... The light outside is about 15 hours.... the reason is heat problems inside and the electric bill.... thanks!

I switched the ballast to another circuit -- maybe having too much load causes the ballast to go bad? --- I will try & measure soon...

They are 110 / 120 volt

I've had 3 1000 wt ballast go bad. Two electronic switchable ones lasted 2 weeks each and then I hooked up a magnetic one that had been working for 5 months and it quit on me too. The co. has replaced the elctronic ones. I wonder is it something I'm doing wrong or just a faulty batch of...

I've had the replacement hooked up for 2 weeks and it quit working yesterday. So thats 2 1000 wt ballasts gone bad in a month. They last 2 weeks.

My bulb did the same last week - but it was the ballast that went bad.

No it is mounted on the wall in the room outside my box. Temperature might get down to 55 where the ballast is. I'll call Monday to get them to replace it. I 've got a 400 wt hooked up for now --

I checked my flowering box today & the light was out. The 1000 wt digital ballast went bad I reckon. The fuse checks good & I hooked the reflector/bulb to another 1000 wt mag ballast -it works - so I figure the ballast went bad after only a week. I'll have to send it back to replace.. Has...

I want to set up Co2 in my flowering room. I have the tank and Reg-1 emitter. I also have the CAP Air 4 which has an input for a co2 device. I think it is only for disabling the device when the fans are on? My box is 96 square ft (4x4x6) with a 1000 wt air cooled light. Iv'e got the temp set...

How can I get more cooling? Put another intake hole for a total of 16" ? Or a bigger exhaust fan?

My box is 4x4x6' tall. I have a 6" exhaust in the top with a 6" Voertex fan. How much passive intake should I have? Now I have 3 four inch intakes (12") & I do have some negative pressure which pulls my door shut. Can/should I put more intake air? I'm trying to get my temps down too...

Does anyone use the Air 4 controller? I'm getting ready to hook up CO2 to it. My exhaust fan is also hooked to it when the temps get up. The box temps are running around 80 lately.. Will the Air 4 cut my exhaust fan off when my Co2 is on or do I have to put timers on everything? The info is...

Ok - Thanks for the help!
