    WARNING! Digital/ Electronic ballasts can get you busted! The A.M. radio test!

    got a new problem (im on a roll here!) i have never had an issue cloning, i changed all my veg units to coolers like stink and now im not getting any roots, first set of clones sat for over 2 weeks with nothing, so i did my research, learnt to cut by a node which seem to pop roots faster, cut...

    so i guess i should check ppm and ph daily, keep track of it and try to figure out how much they eat. im pretty sure i need to stay under 1200ppm, i burnt them last round. thanks for the info!

    ya i think the meter is faulty, it doesnt seem to hold the calibration long and the temp does not display, i let it sit in ph7 solution, heard it can recharge the node but i should prob jus return it since i cant check temps. i do have some light that gets to the water but i dont see any algae...

    I got rid of the heater a long time ago but i still have others that are the same make and they say 240v. i checked the outlet and if i turn off any one of the two breakers the outlet gets no power. I took pics and went to home depot but the guy in the electrical section didn't know much, he...

    i know enough about electrical to do a few things, i also know enough not to play around with it, but i didnt know the 2 breakers would add up to a 240v. ill look into how to reconfigure the breakers... my ballast are digital and can run at 240v so i guess i can get new cords if needed... i...

    no not exactly sure how to use it, dont have one either. i cant just turn off one of the 15amp breakers and run the outlet on the other? my room is maxed so i need to use that circuit in a month, planned on plugging in 2 x 600watters.... good thing i checked with fans first!

    @jblwired or anyone with electrical knowledge, i wired up a regular wall outlet to a line that use to be dedicated to an electric floor heater for my basement. at the breaker it's two 15amp switches, so 30amps going to that one socket. every time a plug a regular fan in to it, the fan starts...

    so to update on the RF frequency issue, I tried the cheapest fix first and I believe it worked... I removed the splitter from my tv/modem cable and plugged the wire straight into my modem since I didn't need the tv connection, then added the splitter to the cable wire in my bedroom and capped...

I switch out the ballasts i was...

    has anyone here dealt with suppressing RF frequencies from their ballast? i had the cable company show up the other day, apparently i've been disrupting the neighborhood. found some adapters online just wondering if anyone else has experience with this.

    anyone know if 2 of these lights over a 2'x2' space would work well for 2 cloner units? or for growing seeds/clones in general? http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?partNumber=296891-75774-LBP50150T35K&langId=-1&storeId=10151&productId=50107574&catalogId=10051&cmRelshp=rel&rel=nofollow&cId=PDIO1...
