ok i just found out how to stop the interference that digital ballasts and electronic ballasts cause that could get you busted QUICK. if you havent heard about this problem then refer to this thread >>> https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/497790-warning-digital-electronic-ballasts-can.html first let me tell you guys what i did. I live in a trailer wrapped in tin, i went into my growroom and i hooked up a radio about 9 ft from where my digital ballist is, i unplugged my ballast and i turned on the radio to the best AM channel i could find that was clear, i plugged in my ballast and listened closely and i could hear my ballast powering up through the speakers and i heard the interruption very clearly. so after realizing that my ballast causes radio interference i went to the outside of my tin trailer and hooked up my radio again. this time the radio was positioned about 6 ft from the ballast but was shielded by a tin wall. i did the test over again and heard no interference, i tried it multiple times on different channels and never heard any interference. so i by doing this have found a solution to all of our problems and tin is a very effective solution. if you dont live in a tin building that is a shield then just simply get some tin sheeting a build a box around your ballast and your problem should be solved. Also as a precautionary measure ill be building a tin box for my ballast and ill even post a DIY for you guys in the DIY section when i do it in a couple days. I really hope this helps you guys out and grow safely.
