Hi everyone, I have a really bad problem. I have 4 redhaired skunk and 1 reveging whitewidow females under a 250v HPS light, I think the power box thing is made by IKON, if anyones heard of it. Anyway, when it came to flowering time and i plugged my trusty £10 segmental timer and after about 3-5 days the lights simply stayed on all the time regardless of the setting on the timer. I previously used it for my first harvest with flourescents, worked fine for two and a half months. I bought a new timer from a supermarket in the lightbulb section, did the same thing after a couple of days again. Does anyone know what the problem is, or direct me towards what I could get to correct this? Please help me, my stash from my last harvest finally ran out a month ago and my bank balance is plummeting trying to keep up with my two ounce, £250 pounds a week habit
Hey man go look for those electronic timers (or perhaps havy duty or something). That one is working fine for me at all times. Cheap = Bad
Ok, have found what I think is needed, a light switching timer contractor. I plan to buy it from http://www.drchronics-hydroponics.co.uk/5748/1237.html , its the second thing from the bottom of the page. Has anyone from the uk bought from this website before? Is this what I need? Thanks
