Check it out. We had bad wind storms about a month ago and our power kept flickering. Every time I would go check my lights to make sure nothing was fucked up. I have digital timers with battery backups so I wasn't too worried about the timers. Every time I went down the lights would be off right after the power flickered. I waited a few minutes because I know it can take a while for the bulb to kick back on. After about 15 min. still no light. I could hear the ballast humming so I unplugged it. Left it unplugged for about 10-20 minutes and then plugged it back in. The lights came back on. This happened 4-5 more times that day and every time I would have to go down and unplug and leave the ballast unplugged for 10-20 minutes. Each time I plugged it back in it would come right on. This may be what happened or the bulb is toast. How old is your ballast?done, 3 hours ago

No problems at all. This was over the course of one day though, but keep in mind this shit is going to happen. Indoor growers rely on a lot of gizmos and electrical gadgetry and shit fails. I like to have backups for backups, know what I mean? It's not as easy to induce hermies as some on here like to think. I've stressed plants in every conceiveable way and only had a handful of hermies and those were bagseed.
