very nice...when you get up...I want to link with you at my new self substantial site/forums; Currently under construction.I hope I can speak for everyone, saying thanks for the great piks...It looks like you just wire that relay inline and have day/night receptacles; right?...I just realized my timers are flipflop/continuous...I have day/night/continuous receptacles.

Sorry to just jump in here, but i am fairly certain the reason you dont need to have a 2nd cap and ignitor is because they will automatically kick in when the relay is thrown to light the next bulb. In effect, the lamp knows when they need to be used. It is the same reason that when the power drops and comes back on, the light will relight without doing anything special.

The only reason there is a cool down period is for the bulb anyway. A properly run ballast that is cooled is more then capable of running 24/7.

I know we don't like to point to other pages, but here is a pretty darn good explanation

thanks BP, but I have mentioned that probably 3 times in this thread...1ballast,1cap,1ign..2lamps.

thanks for the link

high guys, whats the possibility of someone making an HPS sequencer? i want one ballast to flip through four bulbs twice during a 24 period. like "A" for 3, switch to B for 3, then switch to C for 3, fianally D for 3 then start over again at A. i know its possible but cant seem to figure out how i will go about it.

thanks

here is a quick schematic for you 4leafroller.


whoops thats a crappy copy, let me see if I can do better.

that's cool...

well, I missed the part about it repeating the sequence when it got to the end. But with some adjustment to the timers it should work.

Are you wanting it to repeat the sequence with the same four bulbs? or go to another room and 4 more bulbs?

I don't quite underestand where you are coming from, from a cultivation standpoint.

Stonewall let me start by thankin you for the speedy response! ok this is my plan. i would like to have a room, large enough for 4 1 ks like 10x10 and have four 1k bulbs setup like normal for optimal coverage. ok then i want to have one single ballast run each of the four lamps one at a time for 3 hrs each. during veg each lamp site will have 6hrs direct light and 6hrs indirect light. being four bulbs that would total 24hrs but in two cycles of 3hrs each. once i flip to 12/12 i want the lamps to continue to light 3hrs each but only once durin a 24hr instead of twice.


here is a diagram i drew for the concept but DO NOT know if this is anywhere near correct so DO NOT try this at home yet!

im probably making this harder by the way i explain it but basically i would like a relay/timer setup that would cycle 2-4 or more lamps. its a double flip flip or flip floppin flippity flop, for all i care but i want some wawy to sequence hps lamps
