STUMPED!! Light doesn't turn on consistently

I just recently bought

an AgroSun 400 watt bulb

lumatek 400watt digital ballast

hydrofarm all system cord set

The system is plugged into the wall through a standard 1750watt rated appliance timer http://www.jr.com/intermatic/pe/IN_TN111C/

The problem is that my light doesn't turn on consistently. I would say 1 in 3 days I wake up and the light is not on. If i then unplug and replug the light in (sometimes about 10 times) it usually eventually turns on.

I replaced the bulb, the ballast and the cord set with all new components and the problem still persisted. I then took the timer out of the loop and plugged into the outlet directly and the problem still persisted. I am absolutely stumped. Any suggestions?
