Doesn't sound like the timer to me...you sure you haven't blown a bulb?
Have you tried plugging the ballast straight into the wall outlet?
no When I plug it without the Timer my Bulb runs perfect!
is it an electronic timer or a mechanical one? Do you have an electrical meter to check the voltage coming out of the timer? If not I'd get one...they are handy to have(even just to have to test if a battery is good or not)![]()
It is a mechanical TimerNah i dont have a electrical Meter
So what can i do to get it working? I already bought a new Timer still doesnt work?
uh...you bought a new timer and its still not working? You got some sort of power issues that the tiny bit of voltage the mechanical timer uses to turn its mechanism is just enough to fuck with the ballast? That's really weird man...that shouldn't happen...how old is the ballast? Does it take a bit to fire up the lights? Is it getting weak? Is the timer you are using rated for high enough amperage to support the light? Fuck dude I dunno...run an extension cord to another outlet on another circuit to see if it will fire up with the timer?
Sorry Im no help, but it reminds me when I started my first grow, and I was just using shit I found around the house and I founf A time power bar half wer switch controlled and half were
timer controlled....maybe you have them on the switch side...Huh hah hahaha!!..... I had to figure out how to use my time, I had never even seen or used one, just heard of them.
