hello all:P

Long time since i posted...

but i a having an odd thing happen. the light in my tent keeps going off for and 20 minutes each night?!?!?!?! I have check the breaker box, and the Ballast and am failing to find what the issue is. I have ordered new timers as that is the only thing i think it could be. I have used the light and ballast for two grows with out indecent. Only last night and tonight.

How bad will this fuck my plants up?? I have 12 tahoe ogs and am hopig a few days of this wont kill or ruin them.....''

Anyone else had this issue before or care to render aid would be much appreciated,

Check to make sure your lamp/lamps are tight in the sockets. My became loose and did the samething. I tighten them up and no problems.

Is it the same time every night? Does it happen multiple times a night? Could your ballast be overheating and doing an emergency shutoff?

Happened to me towards the end of my last run. I set my timer to start and end 15 minutes later and it fixed it. It was a regular timer not a digital one, that particular button must be going out on mine but it's fine now, also no Ill affects only 3-4 days til I fixed it

might be a fucked up timer. or maybe still the ballast? i have a cheap light kit off amazon and the cord is kinda lose in the socket on the ballast from the light and if its not in there just right ill have the same issue as you. wont hurt your plants though. i would be more worried about burning your place down lol
