    400w HPS ballast stopped working.

    I have a hydrofarm 400w S51 ballast. I bought it used (for about 1 year) and I've been using it for several months with a new bulb. It's been working great, but yesterday it just went out. The ballast was still humming away, but there was no light. I thought the bulb went bad, so I got...

    My first aeroponic setup - for veggies!

    It's kind of funny... I was looking for a forum to discuss hydroponics and aeroponics because I was interested in growing peppers, herbs, tomatoes, etc. And by far the best resources were marijuana forums. I figured that since much of the discussion is about the science of hydro/aeroponics...
