Mornin Lads!

Are you running your ballast on the same circuit as your fans etc?

I run it through a 3 gang powerstar thingy and yeah all fans etc run off that.

Have U tried it in other plugs? The manual says it has an intelligent circuit protection so U shouldn't be experiencing this, id put it down to faulty ballast but lucky for U she comes with a 5yr warrenty.

I haven't yet, I assumed it was the bulb, I'll check that in 10 mins though.

I had to put two separate circuits in the attic (one from house lights, the other from bedroom sockets), #1 for 600w and 250w, #2 for all fans and another 250w due to a similar prob.
 
Well if those bulbs had worked in it for that month it shouldn't be the issue and the soft/smart start function is suppose to stop any serge issues....emphasis on suppose lol
 
It looks like it's the ballast, I tried in a different socket as you suggested and no go, also tried without a bulb and she's still tripping.
I have run it before with the same set up and never a problem.
 
I am no sparky but tripping normally indicates a short, or circuit overload, either way looks like you need another ballast :( Have you isolated it yet on a different circuit?

Morning all.
Just been checking my light there and for some reason my ballast is tripping the electric.
I thought it might be the bulb but so far I've tried a 250, 400 and 600w.
The ballast was only used once for about a month in total.
I hope to be be germing next week so if anyone has any ideas I'd apprecriate it.

Arse!!
Just tripping on start-up?

Have you tried it in a separate room to be 100% it's not an ampage issue?

Yep what SG said it's usually a short or and amp issue.

You could open the ballast and check for loose wires.
 
Thanks guys,
I rooted out my other ballast and it works fine, I'm fucked if I can figure out how to open the adjusta-watt, I took put all the screws and the cover still won't budge, I don't wanna go prying it with a screwdriver cos I'll scratch the paint anhd they might void the warranty if they think it was opened.
I know nothing about electrics so maybe this is a stupid question but could it be the fuse ?

DONT GO TAKING IT APART YOU WILL VOID THE WARRENTY if the old ones working ur grand id say its faulty mate since non of the fancy tech seems to be working so return it n get a brand new one! Take advantage of ur warrenty bro
 
Sorry didn't realise it was new a new ballast under warranty, Don't open it!

Nah if the fuse was blown it wouldn't trip the breaker.
 
Fair enough so, I bought it last February and it hasn't been used much at all.
I've emailed sol digital and will get onto the ebay seller I bought from.
Thank fuck for having a spare, could take a month to get this sorted.

Ill give you the break down: Green Love Potions: Black Domina x Lavender, Lemon Skunk: skunk x citral, Great White Shark: SuperSkunk x Brazilian x South Indian

BlackJack: Black Domino x Jock Horror, Acapulco Gold: Pure heirloom strain from mexico.

BlackJack should be easy to grow with Lavender in it.

I wonder who I gifted El Alquimista to it is AK-47 x Northern Lights, sometimes I wish I would have kept it but I'm glad someone else has it in another part of the world.

Lets play a game. What, lately, has been your favorite strain that you have actually smoked. I'll go first.

1. BLZ Bud
2. Elephant Stomper
3. Chernobyl
4. Grandpa Larry OG
5. The White
6. Fire OG
7. ChemDawg
8. Cherry Pie
9. Mazar
10. GreenCrack

Now the order they are in does not mean that they are the most potent all where stellar strains grown very well.

Oh just my preference I don't smoke any concentrates made with BHO or CO2. Only cold water extraction or dry ice. You never know if you are going to smoke some left over butane or CO2 in your concentrate, I've had it and it was way strong.

My fav strains-
#1- DNA- Lemon skunk (freebie from the tude years ago, have cloned it to death and it's still tops!
#2- Dinafem- Original Amnesia (wakes me up, fills me with energy and makes me smile)
#3- Dinafem- Super Silver (only grew it once, went 120 days in flower so I havn't done it since, but amazing flavor with a very heady high, really gets the brain working in overdrive, perfect for musicians or artists
#4- Barneys Farm- LSD (another freebie from the tude) remember those sweets Jolly Ranchers? That's what it tasted like!!
#4 TH Seeds- Heavy Duty Fruity (FAT buds of sicky resinous goodness, just yummy to smoke
#5- Dinafem- Critical Jack (great all rounder and pure flavour country! So easy to grow and would eat the nute bottle

Yep I don't dig butane either, usually run qwiso or bubble

@R3...yes...yes it is!!
 
Ur laughing mate but ur 100% covered so don't let em say otherwise! Fucking cowboys! Lucky it didn't burn the fucking house Down!
 
Imma pop the LSD next run guitar mate heard nothing but great stuff about it. Fuck me lads im stuck between getting a volcano next week or an oz lol think I might stop smoking for a week to lower my tolerance that way I can get the volcano next week n the oz the week after...first world problems eh?
