THE SEALED ROOM

Listen im not very good at writing this stuff down. You can post reply's with any specific questions and I will answer them best I can. My pictures of my room are 1 week from cutting down.

Based On A 4 Light Room. Pictures are of a 8 Light Room.

I start by sealing my room as best I can. From there I start by building a 8ft by 8ft box with 2x6.
Then I screw 2 sheets of OSB 4x8 sheets to the bottom (sort of like a water bed box).
I line the inside with polly making sure not to get any staples on the inside of the beds.
I put 4 bags of Shunshine #4 Mix into the bed making sure to break up all clumps.
Then I hang 4 HPS bulbs evenly over the bed.
I use a Blu-Ox Co2 generator (has a glow plug instead of pilot light).
The Co2 generator is pluged into a CDMC-7 Co2 controller. The CDMC-7 controlles how much Co2 is in the room.
I then use a Thermoplus A/C to cool my room.
If the grow op is small you can use a Heat Exchanger (Heat Exchanger uses alot of water).
If the Grow Op is bigger than 8-1000w lights I use a Charcoal Filter to kill the smell. The Charcoal Filter just curculates in the room.
I use a 40 pint Dehumidifier to controll my humidity levels. This is hung from the sealing, draining either into a drain or into a 5 gal bucket that is empted every day.
The resovior Is a 55 gal plastic drum. For the feeding schedual I use. Here is a link... http://www.advancednutrients.com/nutcalc3public/

You can use all the item listed but personaly I think its a waste of money.The items I use are:

-Micro
-Grow
-Bloom
-Mothers Earth Tea (Bloom)
-B-52 (B1, Vitamax)
-Carboload (Powder)
-Voodoo Juice
-Big Bud (Powder)
-Overdrive
-Final Phase (Flush Solution)

*Dont forget too enter the size of your resivour and add a week to the schedual.

To feed my plants I use a sump pump followed by a garden hose and a watering wand.

Here are some links to pictures and info to some items used here:

How did you get the canopy to be so even...?

These must all be the same strains, yes?

fricking can I have your address so I can come visit??????

I would love to smell that place :)

man that is just so awesum.......thanks for posting and sharing that.

Tranoble
09-14-2005, 09:57 PM
Yes it's all the same strain. It's called Tranoble. There are 200 clones there. I paid $6 a piece for them. Now I just started doing my own clones. I moved out to the sticks and I had to drive 4.5 hrs to get those. Fuck that.

I think the hoods I use really help on keeping the canopy all the same size. The hoods are LR 1000's.

These are in 3 days of Veg. Ill drop the lights and flip them into Bud in about 2 days. After 10 days of Bud ill strip off the bottom 7-8 branches.

Ill post pics every week.

The strain in these pics is Triple X. A friend gave me cuts and I cloned them. First time cloning. Didn't lose a 1. Saved me $1440 since I usually buy my clones.

Tranoble
09-17-2005, 08:13 AM
These plants are in Day 4 of Veg.

What a difference in 1 day.

I think it's cause I spray them with Growth Excel every day right when the lights come on.

How do I post pics so they can enlarge?

I don't know much about digital camaras. I dont know how to take pics at higher resolution.

I strip the bottom 7-8 branches off at 10 days into Bud. They are so close together that the bottom stuff dosnt get much light. It's allso easier to water.

IMPRESSIVE..

Is that a giant custom wood box...? all the roots just cohabitate together?

Tranoble
09-19-2005, 08:53 AM
Thanks for the 6 Stars Garden Knowm.

The room is a double garage. I have split it down the middle. I have another 6 lights that I just set up on the other side.

The roots bind together like crazy. When I replace my dirt after every show. I cut the dirt into squares. The dirt is stuck together from all the roots.

I think I have fixed my picture quality in my camera. It was set to Fine. I changed it to Uncompressed.

My frame is set to 2032x1536. I have been down sizing the pics to half the size before I up load them to the post. Otherwise It takes a long time. I have dial-up out here in the sticks. I know it sucks!

If anyone could tell me how to set my settings a little better on my Camera that would be so helpfull.

HARDDON
09-19-2005, 05:21 PM
Dial up does suck.

Because you are downsizing them prior to uploading them is why we are not able to enlarge.

Tranoble

The space under 1 light is 3.75ftx3.75ft. I put 30 plants and hang 1 light over that place. I space them evenly. I Veg my clones for about 3-4 days depending how healthy they are. They will be about 2.5ft-3ft when they are done.

You should see how the roots are all bind together when I replace my dirt. I cut the dirt into squares then remove it.

Zandor
09-21-2005, 03:46 PM
We did that style once for about a year but in Hydro. 4x4 trays full of grow rocks 40-50 plants each tray. The roots were all tangled together but held tight to the end. Yield was fine but clean up was a bitch.

Dirt farming is to slow for me. I assume you use an sulfer pot then to keep the mold down? Are you also using CO² to speed things up? How is the air flow for the middle plants?

Well good luck you have some work ahead of you when you harvest.

Hey tranoble,

In my best 'Quake3' voice "IMPRESSIVE", and dare I say it even though its on a smaller scale more impressive than *looks over his shoulder* Reaper, in consistancy and aesthetics, you are an artist bro!

I saw your grow on OG and saw all those Wankers jumping on you, which is why I'll never post there again, OG might good for pot porn, but the 'sheep' are slowing starting to rule those boards, its turning into the Pot 4th Reich over there, you cant even say tits.

Keep them pics comin of your new grow cuzz, may the force be with you!

SamoanLawyer
09-29-2005, 05:17 AM
oh and tranoble, if youre still having trouble with pics, heres some help, when you upload the pics to your comp in high rez from your cam, just resize them to 640x480 or 800x600 pixels in your photoeditor, I use photoshop and all you do is right click the pics title bar, go to image size then a box comes up saying the dimensions, just change dimensions there then save , this will size it nicely for viewing on here.

Might sound a little paranoid,

In the UK such a large growroom would make a large target for little scrots who want to tax your weed off you, Have u kept the grow room fairly low-key? And how are u keep heat emissions off the police camera that flies overhead every now and then in the UK large growrooms such as that are kept underground, I know a grower who uses an X World War 2 bunker

If you did sell pot then I would understand, if your selling this pot, I would understand, but if you havent sold anypot and just grew it, I dont understand.

This might help you understand a little better. If you were growing just for personal then why would anyone wanna tax you. You would only get taxed if you were making lots of money. Cause they know you have lots of money. Someone who grows alot o weed has to get rid of it some where. Its only a madder of time for people to hear about all the money your making. Why try to tax someone that doesnt have alot of money?

Do you understand now.

It's just a way for dirt bag bikers or thugs to muscle someone they know they can. They know your not gonna run to the cops.

I have tried to find the LR 1000 everywhere I could think of and still haven't found anything about them. Can you tell me where you saw them and bought them?

As for the feeding schedule it's a foreign language to me I don't understand it. Maybe after I have done this for awhile with the use of some nuturient it will come more clear to me.

I bought the LR 1000 in Canada. They have a life time warrenty. They are the by far the best shader you can buy. If you live in Canada i can point you in the right direction. I know they are made in the U.S.

I do live in the US but we can buy from Canada. Can you give me the name of the company email address or phone #? I would like to check them out. Your girls are looking Great. Thanks Man

Is your garage heated? If not how do you maintain temp in the winter? Lights keep it warm?

OK I need more info there isn't a Garden Super Center in Abbotsford or Advanced Nutrience any where in British Columbia phone directory or a web site titled as such. Can you give me their website?

You really have 14 1000W lights? Wow !! What is your electric bill like or do you run generators?

AN is based in Canada. Stores in the US are supplied from AN in Canada. I know this cause I worked there for 4 years. Canadian Soiless is a company that owns AN and the Garden Super Store where I bought the LR 1000's. Contact AN and ask them where you can buy the LR 1000's. They will give info on where to buy them in the US.

Good Luck.

Tranoble how do you build up your C02 levels? What levels do you use?

I am also interested in the Blu-ox generator, how many burners do you have and what is the capacity of the exhaust fan you have connected to the generator?

What is the RH you try to keep when using the C02.

THE SEALED ROOM

Listen im not very good at writing this stuff down. You can post reply's with any specific questions and I will answer them best I can. My pictures of my room are 1 week from cutting down.

Based On A 4 Light Room. Pictures are of a 8 Light Room.

I start by sealing my room as best I can. From there I start by building a 8ft by 8ft box with 2x6.
Then I screw 2 sheets of OSB 4x8 sheets to the bottom (sort of like a water bed box).
I line the inside with polly making sure not to get any staples on the inside of the beds.
I put 4 bags of Shunshine #4 Mix into the bed making sure to break up all clumps.

Nice set up :thumbsup:
What is OSB ? Are there drain holes in your growing bed ? How did you water ? Have a good day.

No offense but if I had a grow that size I would never post it on a website. Feds could find out where you live from your ip address faster than you could get rid of all that. Also, I had a friend that was turned in by his electric company because he was using 10,000 watts of electricity continuously, it was enough to obtain a warrant and he got busted. I would never use that much power in my house, it becomes pretty obvious at that point. Anyways, it's a nice grow but be careful.

Are you trying to get your posts up or something? I use the sealed room meathod. Do you know what that is? Obv not. I pull 35 to 42 lbs off of 14 lights every time. If you dont think 3 lbs a light isnt possible in dirt you have no clue. Check around on this site and others im not the only one.

There is no reason to be rude BC was respectful and has a rite to question with out being flamed.

I guess you don't know surreyBC look in the gallery for some of his harvest picks. He does grow it right too. Not saying you don't just I know how good surreyBC grows. It's all quality from him, and he does grow in dirt too.

3 pounds per light is a little high imo too but anything is possible. Hell growing KBS you can average 3 pounds per plant but the setup is big bucks and the average grower could not afford to grow that style or even have the necessary skills to grow like that either. In dirt it does take longer to grow trees but yes you can do it. Just with hydro you can get one or two extra grows a year over dirt.

This is a pic of a kbs plant where the yield was over 3.5 pounds dry from one plant.

It's very expensive to build and operate but it's worth the effort if you have the money and skill. You control everything to exact portions, Hi humidity and total control for the proper cycle in the plants life, enhanced CO², perfect temperature control, a chiller for the res to keep the perfect temp to hold in more oxygen in the water. A shit load of light. and lots of room for them to grow. Your net pot is a 5-gallon bucket filled with lava rocks or a combo of other things to hole the large plants. You veg them for about 45-50 days then flower like normal. Just make sure you have chicken wire on the ceiling to tie the branches to they get heavy and snap easy.

That is the short version.

Growth Excel is the same as Growth Plus just cheaper. It's a seaweed extract. I spray it every day right when my lights come on. When I first plant my babies I give them a spray and the next day when i spray again i notice there is twice as many leaves. The stuff works excellent.

Hi Tranoble, nice-looking grow(s). How do you seal your room? Do you mean just applying silicone caulk wherever two walls/edges meet?
Also do you use CO2, and why do you use Growth Excel at lights-on (usually people foliar when the lights are about to go off, so the plants stay wet longer and won't burn from the lights). Did you say you apply it twice a day?

thanx

Hey tran, new to the forums, had about... 5...and a half questions for ya! LOL

(1)How much room do you give your seedlings in the soil bed ( how many inches from edge of the bed & between seedlings)?

I'm still doin as much reading as poss. while i collect my equip. but from what i've read, a 5 day veg. stage seems so short, (1.5) can u tell me about your reasoning for this?

On average...
(2) How tall are they b4 flipping to 12/12 (end of veg. stage)?
(3) How long do you flower for?
(4) What is your final harvest height?
(5) dry bud weight per plant?

I plant a clone about every 6 inches. Thats from each edge and each plant. A total of 120 plants per 4 lights. Some times I have extra clones and I just fit them in where ever i can. I flip them into bud when they are about 1 ft tall. If I wait longer than 5 days to flip them they just get way to tall. Right now I have allmost every plant staked cause they are all falling over. For how long I flower it depends on the strain. Right now with the strain im using it is 7 weeks but I could go 6 weeks no problem. The final height of the plants are about 3 ft tall. When I harvest I think each plant is about 40 to 45 grams on average. I hope that answers all ur questions. Good luck.

An Lr1000 is a shader. It is by far the best shader on the market for growing on tables. I know they are made in the US. From what i know they are hard to find but if you live in canada I can point you in the right direction.

One question. Do you know anything about tracks? I live in the city and I am somwhat concerned about running 4000watts because I am already a welder and have a lot of computers. Have you ever heard about using say... 2 1000watt lights on a track that move back and forth to simulate 4 1000 watt lights? Do you think a similar room like yours could take advantage of tracks to save electricity and expense while still getting nearly the same light?

Tranoble
07-27-2006, 08:04 PM
I have never used tracks before so I cant give you any help on that. If you would like to use less power i suggest using an Equalizer PF2. Check out this site and read up on it. I use an Equalizer and I save about 1/3 of my bill.

Then I screw 2 sheets of OSB 4x8 sheets to the bottom (sort of like a water bed box).
I line the inside with polly making sure not to get any staples on the inside of the beds.


What is OSB and where can it be found? What is 'polly' and how do you staple it to the box?

Tranoble
07-28-2006, 06:08 PM
OSB is a type of ply wood made from compressed wood chips. You could use any 3/8 ply wood. OSB is cheapest. Polly is black and white plastic. Black on one side and white on the other. When your stapling the polly inside the table make sure the staples are on the out side of the table.If you have staples in the dirt they will rust. Rust isnt very good for your plants. Hope that answers you questions.

hey dude really enjoying the show.. Man you are way ahead of your time.. people are just now realizing the benefits of sealed rooms and youve been doing it for a minute. I remember the first time i visited this page, and it was all doubts, i even remember a page on OG discussing your practices, and people were straight h8ing on your style and wouldnt believe 3ps a lights.

anywho, juss got a couple questions. you say you put 30 plants in a 3.75 X 3.75 space under 1 light. How do u get 30 plants? do u have 6 rows of 5 plants? if so why? 3.75 x 3.75 is a square .

also, can you tell me about your c02 levels and at what point do you turn the co2 off ? which week? what level do they peek at in which week?

also you say you trim at 10 days into flowering and you take of the bottom 7-8 brances, at any other point in the grow do you do any additional trimming? DO you get single colas only or do you still get some side branching?

THANKS ALOT BRO u are a great sourcce of inspiration.

Hey Tramble, can you explain to me the specific reasons why you use the planter box? I re-read the thread and maybe I missed it. What are the advantages of this over packing pots together? More soil? More nutrients available because of more soil? Plants bind together so they are held more firmly? Soil doesnt need to be deep because roots can go horizontal more?

I am getting to the point where I need to buy the materials for my new setup. The fact that building a box seems actually cheaper then pots and would ease the watering...Im tempted to go this route.

Thanks for your help!!! (PS. Decided to just go with 4 stationary 1000watt for now and building up to more if I need to).

Yes that is correct 5 rows of 6. It all depends on the size of the room im using. Some times i build my tables 7ft x 7ft. Some times i build them 8ft x 8ft. It all depends what the width of my room is. So on a 7ft by 7ft table I would go with 10 rows of 12. With the 8ft table i would go 12 rows of 12. With the co2 levels I have my ppm on my co2 set to the same as my ppm in my food. Be sure that your room temp is not below 85. Co2 will work its best if the room temp is 85 and the ppm are the same as your food. I turn the co2 off for the last 10-14 days. I dont trim at all after taking off the bottom branches. I only pick up leaves that have fallen on the dirt. Yes you do get some side branches but mainly 1 huge bud and 4-5 side branch tops half the size. Good luck i hope this helps.



hey dude really enjoying the show.. Man you are way ahead of your time.. people are just now realizing the benefits of sealed rooms and youve been doing it for a minute. I remember the first time i visited this page, and it was all doubts, i even remember a page on OG discussing your practices, and people were straight h8ing on your style and wouldnt believe 3ps a lights.

anywho, juss got a couple questions. you say you put 30 plants in a 3.75 X 3.75 space under 1 light. How do u get 30 plants? do u have 6 rows of 5 plants? if so why? 3.75 x 3.75 is a square .

also, can you tell me about your c02 levels and at what point do you turn the co2 off ? which week? what level do they peek at in which week?

also you say you trim at 10 days into flowering and you take of the bottom 7-8 brances, at any other point in the grow do you do any additional trimming? DO you get single colas only or do you still get some side branching?

THANKS ALOT BRO u are a great sourcce of inspiration.

I think using the box method is alot easier. When I take my dirt out of the box I cut it in squares then remove the dirt in squares. The dirt is bound with roots like you wouldnt believe. I allso replace the dirt after every show. * I never reuse dirt *

Good luck on your room. Ill answer any more question if you like.

I was in at my local shop and had a decent chat to get tips from experienced growers. I too have had a million very detailed questions clearly marking me as a newbie hahaha. But i askd him about the HPS/MH flipping and he said that the difference isnt that noticable to a new grower. He recommended using cheap HPS bulbs to help keep costs down, while learning, tuning, and optimizing yields through ways that WILL have a noticable difference, like temps, food, water, and a the signals of the plant itself.

I kno how easily it is to get overwhelmd with all the tech, and the details, and etc. But it really made me chill out about growing and worrying about all the many ways things can go wrong. I think as new growers, we want all the best equip. cuz we think that it'll help compensate for our lack of firsthand knowledge, but really you should keep it as cheap and as simple as possible cuz u're gonna b making the most mistakes in the beginning.

Buying a ferrari doesnt make u a good driver, so buy that junker and beat the crap out of it while you learn, then when you've gone as far as you can go with what you have, then upgrade to reap the true benefits!

I just feel that until you can consistently create good crop after good crop, whether it's right from the get-go, or after a few lost harvests, or until you can produce the most from a strain, the LITTLE extras really won't make that much of a difference until the elements that have a big difference are tuned. I mean an extra 2k lumen hps bulb thats 60$ vs. a general hps for 20$ you might as well put that 40$ towards *smoke break* good ventilation or better soils, power set ups, sky's the limit, but i know stuff like MH/HPS switchable ballasts are extra $ for such a little boost**, then an extra set of bulbs 'cause you gotta get one mh & one hps to utilize it.

** a little boost, to someone who can product 1lbs, and have it jump to 1.5-2lbs. is worth it, but when you can't even produce that, it's not the light that's the issue... but yesss if money isn't the issue then spoil those babes!

I love yr set up its really really nice.

Why did you choose just the polly rather than some mylar ontop?

Does the CO2 make up for an external air source?

Why not 2 1 ratio MH to HPS, HPS alone has tendancy to make long fluffy buds?

Tranoble
08-04-2006, 09:01 PM
I use polly cause the shaders I use dont shine any light on the walls only on the growing surface.

The Co2 does make up for the external air. I have no air coming in from outside and I have no air going outside from my room. This is why I have to use Co2 and I can get the best production out of my plants.

I use only HPS. I managed the biggest hydroponic store in Canada for about 6 years and thats the first time I have ever heard HPS bulbs making your buds long and fluffy. My buds are long and rock hard. I allso drop my temps as cold as I can in the last 2 weeks that helps to harden my buds.

Tranoble,

A couple of questions for you if you dont mind..

can you tell us how long the co2 gos on for each day. does it still go on and off during the dark cycle?

how many circulating fans do you have going in there. do they run at night also?

do you let the temp fall below 85 during the night cycle? do you need a heater to keep the temperature above this level

do you use a thermostat and humidistat. if so what are the settings set to?

do you adjust the temperature of your reservoir at all?

how far above the plants do you keep the lights?

Thanks. Really neat work..

The Co2 is on only when the lights are on. The Co2 burner i use has a glow plug not a pilot light. You never want Co2 on when the lights are off. A pilot light on when the lights are off is even a bad idea.

I have 2 or 3 circulating fans for each room. They run 24/7.

My temps are 85 when my lights are on and 75 when the lights are off. I use a temp stat for that. In the last 2 weeks i drop my temps to 65 with the lights off and as low as I can with the lights off. I allso turn my lights off for the last 4 days. This helps to get rid of red hairs and make my buds more lime green.

I dont adjust my temp in my water at all. I keep my res on small pieces of 2x4 so the cold floor in the winter doesnt drop the water temp.

I keep my shaders about 22 inches from the tops of my plants. The shaders I use are so good that any closer will start to burn the tops.

Hope that answers your questions.

If the camera thing and dialup uploading is still an issue, look around in your camera or image program's options (or in it's save options) for something to reduce the resolution. If you see something cranked up to 300 dpi, or greater, that's too big for easy dialup transfers if it's 800x600. It might be set that high coming out of your camera. On your computer, save the .jpgs at 72 or 96 dpi for area shots, and leave the higher resolution stuff for closeups if you think you need it. Irfanviewer is a good small free app (non-nagging shareware) for image editing if your app doesn't cooperate. Posted is an edited image that was originally 2835 x 2047, at 300 dpi, and over 4MB. At that size it took up about 4 monitors worth or area in a browser, and was a pain to scroll. With Irfanviewer I made it half size twice to fit on a standard monitor, then saved, changing the resolution to 72 dpi at the save prompt. Now it's 708 x 511 pixels at 72 dpi, and is down to 100KB. That'll work for your pics even if it's coming out of the camera at the maximum size and resolution. 800x600 or 1024x768 at 72 or 96 dpi should be doable with dialup without you having to wait forever on the upload.

Did you ever say how you were powering all this? Also what do you attribute mostly to your phenomenal yield? One more, Do you feel that the advanced nutes are worth it? Those are extremely expensive. I heard of crop failures because of them, supossedly. I heard that from my dude that works at a shop that doesnt carry advance. They push pure blend pro, which Is what Im giving a try.

harris7 it is kinda confusing but what I think he means is you can use everthing on AN's nute calculator but he only uses what he has listed thats what I made of it.............:rasta:

If you are only going to use 2 more i suggest using the Growyh Excel and the Big Bud. Spray the Growth excel every day right when the lights come on. Do not spray any later than that. With the Big Bud use half of what they say to use and use it every feeding when you start to see buds. Stop using it about 2 weeks before you cut down. Dont use it when you are giving your plants straight water.


Sorry man I??ve read through the whole thread and I couldn??t find any specifics, only you said that you really don??t need all the stuff they sell. To that I totally agree I only got Micro, grow and bloom just sticking to the basics. I have been looking through there selection and they seem to have a lot of interesting products like carbload. What I really wana know is if I was only going to buy two more which would you suggest.

Thanks a lot

That right harris. You could still cut down on some of the extra stuff that I use if you wanna save some more money. The ones I think you must use tho are:

Grow
Micro
Bloom
Growth Excel (Growth Plus)
Vita Boost (Vita Max)
Big Bud





yes i read that. And right b4 he says you shouldn't use everything he did because he thought it was a waist of money.

ps-tranoble did you mean that you recommend everything you used and not really all the hundreds of other products AN sells?

The best thing I think I use is Growth Excel. The stuff is amazing. I plant my babies and spray them. The next day i swear there is allmost twice as many leaves on each plant. I swear by the stuff. Its a must have.

Tranoble, how much space do you have around your soil beds to walk around etc..

i have a question? so you use alot of power and you use the pf2 equalizer to have a more cost efficient current. but you have a huge a/c, 14 lights, dehumidifier, you now have clones so thats using even more power. how the hell are getting away with this. or does the pf2 really cover up/make up for that much power usage? is it a house just devoted to your operation or do you live there to? and how many rooms do you have in your house? because the bigger the house the more power you can get away with.:thumbsup: by the way you are a great example of how operations should be performed nowadays, cge is the shit nothing works better! great job bro

What is a pf2 equalizer?

What is a pf2 equalizer?

The Equalizer delivers these savings by correcting the Power Factor (PF) of the AC power to the consumer??s home. Any time an inductive load such as fans, compressors, ballasts or anything containing a motor is connected to a power grid the current will lag the voltage. The phase angle of this lag (Cos q) is referred to as Power Factor. Electrical companies allow a 90% to 95% PF. The electrical companies penalize the consumer if the consumption rate is outside of this range.

Voltage and current change direction 60 times per second. If the voltage and the current change directions at the same time and in the same direction, the Power Factor is said to be unity. If the current lags the voltage, the PF becomes less than unity and some of the current will be effectively ??wasted?. The innovative circuitry of the Equalizer will ??re-align? the PF, resulting in better power efficiency for the consumer.

Electrical motors in the home consume inductive power, which is a common cause leading to voltage and current misalignment. When switched on, they draw Apparent Power (kVA) from the mains due to lagging current. kVA is comprised of Active Power (kW), the power actually being consumed, as well as Reactive Power (kVAr), the power feeding the inductive portion of the load.

Reactive Power (kVAr) is of no benefit to the user, but does cost the consumer money. The less kVAr used the greater the savings, with no reduced consumption. Real Power and Apparent Power are said to be at unity, at 1.0 PF, if they share the same plane. All electrical energy is then going towards real work.

interesting, so i guess it's a pretty significant loss to reactive power

since you seem to be on the ball, what do ballasts actually do?
thanks

ballasts covert the power like 120v or 240v to a current usable by the light plus is has an igniter that starts the light bulb.
