My ballast just shit the bed.its under warranty but I imagine it will be a week or so for a new one. It was 600 w hps digital ballast. I just tossed up 2 crappy 150w hps lamps that arnt necessarily grow lamps. My plants are about 3 weeks into flowering

I can’t say whether your plants will take longer to mature, or whether you’ll see a diminished harvest on the expected schedule. Maintaining the light cycle with a minimum of 10 hours of light is the critical in keeping your plants alive, and you’re doing that. You’ll be okay. Your plants will be okay.

They will be OK as long as they get some light to continue the processes for survival. Then when you get your other light they can finish strong. They are at end of stretch so at least you got the size.

Thanks guys.i swear it’s just been one thing after another. It’s amazing that these things are still alive. Another issue I’m going to have is that the 600w light kept my temperature in check. Now the 2 crappy 150’s can barley keep it above 70*… just another in a long line of stressors they have endured. Tempted to go buy a hlg led light but I really don’t want to drop the coin just yet
