    Switching 1000 watt ballast from 240 to 120 volt?

    I have that ballast. On mine where the power cord plugs into the ballast is a little white tab covering the other outlet. All I had to do was spin the tab to expose the other receptacle. I hope this is the case for you because it is an easy solution and doesnt require voiding your warranty.

    Sun Pulse Splitter! Anyone Used?

    The 10k bulb does make a difference. I started using it to early at three weeks to go. Two weeks is probably the right time to switch. You dont get the final swell like with conventional bulbs so yield got impacted some. The trade off is increased resign and tricome production. I thought using...

    Kannabia Autos - Really Semi-Autos . . . clone??

    I have their Powerskunk going right now from seed. When it reached 3 feet I figured it wasnt going to start flowering on its own. I took a cutting and moved the seedling to the flower room. Plant is 2 weeks+ into flower and the clone is almost a foot tall with no flowers forming. I figured try...

    Sun Pulse Splitter! Anyone Used?

    I just found this video. It looks like a digital ballast and any 600 watt bulb will work :hump:. The video doesn't address the effect on bulb life or anything but it does answer the question of whether or not regular bulbs or digital ballasts will work at all with the splitter...

    Sun Pulse Splitter! Anyone Used?

    Thanks Maximus. Keep us updated. Gotta love new ideas. I tried some Sun Pulse bulbs with mixed results. I liked the response from the plants I just had problems with the bulbs them selves. My 10k formed a huge blister in the glass sleeve of the bulb and I have a 3k that wont fire regularly. My...

    Sun Pulse Splitter! Anyone Used?

    I am so intrigued by this. I am all about trying to do things with as small a carbon footprint as possible. I am planning an upgrade and am trying to decide which direction to go. I wondered if it really mattered which brand bulbs were used. Also if they have to be digital ballast bulbs or...

    Battle Between Bulbs: Hortilux Super HPS, Super Blue, or Another?

    I LOVE my Hortilux Super HPS bulbs and run them in my magnet/coil lights. I think the combination of the two is the bullet proof hands down winner in my book. I purchased a digital ballast to try the Sunpulse brand bulbs out. I wanted to test the seperate spectrum technology and use it to...

    Battle Between Bulbs: Hortilux Super HPS, Super Blue, or Another?

    If you keep researching I am sure you will find reports of Hortilux bulbs, for that matter most standard bulbs have an extremely shortened life span in digital ballasts. I jumped on the digital bandwagon as well. I now use the digital ballasts for veg and old school magnetic ballasts for flower...

    Digilux or Sunpulse

    I have tried both and am running with Digilux now. The Sunpulse bulbs have given me problems. My 10k bulb developed a huge blister in the glass shield. I feel lucky that it didn't blow up. I have went through a couple of the 3k bulbs trying to get one that will fire consistantly with no luck...
