  1. I've just had three power out's in the past 3 hours only a couple of minutes each time but my HPS has to be off for 10 minutes or I risk blowing the element, so I've had three 10 minute gaps in the lighting.

    Wot kind of trouble could it cause if any???
     
  2. yeah i get a lot of cuts when it storms here...i doesnt seem to do the plants any harm at all...course if the powers off for a few days thats a diffrent story....
    i get the idea it dont do the bulbs much good....i change mine yearly anyway...give or take...
     
  3. Just hope they didn't get bothered by the power outs, had 5 in total all afternoon

    Oh yeah Pheasantplucker you have Trichologist under your Nickname, did you know that a trichologist is someone who studies the science around the human hair and scalp :rolleyes:
     
  4. yeah theyll be alright...probbly..lol..

    and yes i did know that...did you know a trichologist is also someone who studies trichomes?:rolleyes:
     
  5. what could happen if there was a power outage at my house and no one to turn the HPS off?
     
  6. it would come back on with the power....
     
  7. I've heard that if they come back on within ten minutes it can damage em
     
  8. i also have heard that...and after the third time it happened...fuck that...
    been growing nearly 2 years now and ive never lost a ballast or had a bulb pop...tho when they get older they can sometimes not fire back up properly....then its change bulb time...that bulb was 3 yrs old...
