Re: Phenomenawesome's Auto Cannabonanza - GSC - LSD-25 - Northern Lights - Diesel In
Yep, a bit scary after reading up...
I mean I knew roughly what I was using but I thought my office was on that pole and it's not.
That's actually awesome because I have 2 huge liquid cooled computers and another window AC in there.
I was worried this light plus those was too much.
I'm actually not using much on this side other than the light and bedroom lighting which is great.
You're right though because even though the breaker went bad and it was obvious the connection was loose and that was causing it to Arc it's still scary to know that that can happen without completely blowing a breaker there was still power going through there cuz it was running parallel if I pull too much juice and it doesn't jump the breaker could burn my house down

Re: Phenomenawesome's Auto Cannabonanza - GSC - LSD-25 - Northern Lights - Diesel In
Its a single breaker for two bedrooms. So those 2 bedrooms rooms already have 20 amp fuse... Nice.
One of which is an 'empty' room as the only thing used is an overhead light.
Basically the only thing on that breaker is the garden room.
That half, does a lot of overhead lights and sockets for the master but no appliances.
The breaker that went out was at the main panel outside, its a 125 amp panel and splits to two 60Amp from a dual breaker/splitter.
One of the connectors that slide over the panel rail was spread open too far and not making a good connection causing the dual 60 amp to fail... Or rather to not connect properly the breaker inside is good.
I could bend the prongs back and likely reuse but nope...9 bucks for the new one and no electricians to pay.
Still keeping them at 600 watts (sry can't remember amps for that) until I do the math later and know for certain.
So ya, very good news today!
I hope yours is going as well!
Thanks KingJoe doing all my homework now..

I mean I can give myself some credit for at least roughly adding things up before starting but I should have known better. Can't always rely on the breaker.
See, my whole life I've really not struggled to do well with stuff. I'm not bragging it's been a curse. I am Jack of all master of none.
I can fix anything with an engine, bikes and cars, tattoo folks, develop computer software, so on, so on, but never really stood out in any of it unless I was really driven. Two things have done that in my life. Computers and growing.
Like this computer for example:
My current daily driver.
let's hope I can learn to grow as well some like the folks here do in a few years!
Anyway sorry for the rant... I will definitely ask about safety with our fellow member!
Hopefully you enjoy your night, im going to play some final fantasy with my 70 year old mom. No joke.
Ya me too, and in this case I think I totally half assed that part of being a homeowner

... Unfortunately, no but she had me drawing up all sorts of custom liquid solutions hahaha.
When folks started using PC CPU fans on COBS is when that realm of LED opened up to me. I started working out how to use tubes like the ones in my computer, with any high performance block to remove the heat from the room altogether.... But tech advanced.
Still think its an option but the quantum board type layout, that looks to be the winner this year, doesn't really need that type of pin point cooling and cut my watts in half with an additional 15% less radiant heat watt for watt??
I would need a heater
That, would be nice

Re: Phenomenawesome's Auto Cannabonanza - GSC - LSD-25 - Northern Lights - Diesel In
Ok so plants update. Did the math. Ran an extension for a fan just to be safe but both on this breaker and side/pole I'm all good. Running 1kw... Until it gets outta hand. Lol.
I don't think many people understand just how intense these are. Heat and all its scary bright and hot.
Anyway, I've finally done it. Got too confident and overfed my girls.
I didn't do it on my first grow like everybody said I would. Maybe
I may actually have underfed them a little bit but this one I was a bit heavy so I'm leeching them with a gallon of phd water.
With 2.5ml florakleen.
I haven't decided if I'm going to do them all or not but I want to only do two at a time and 4 a day at most. Humidity.
I had really good luck with the florakleen in soil.
it broke things up nicely and got things flowing and didn't interfere with the plants.
Anyway I flushed one girl scout cookies yesterday or rather leached and she looks great today she's on straight water and I'll each two more today they got half nutrients that lights on and started to burn pretty bad so I instantly started this leaching my bet is that they will recover okay.
I've seen some pics of overfed plants... You guys know what I mean. These aren't that bad

Re: Phenomenawesome's Auto Cannabonanza - GSC - LSD-25 - Northern Lights - Diesel In
So this one has me stumped. See pics.
The girls all have some evidence of slight mag dificiency in early growth but that stopped.
Most are a little N heavy, one I would consider toxic yesterday looks much better today already.
For this one it's yellowing tips only out of the very newest growth the rest is fine.
It doesn't look N toxic maybe a little bit magnesium hungry ?
What I did is I just went ahead and gave it a gallon of pH water with a pinch of epsom salt and a tiny bit of nutrients. 1ml per gal all.
Going to watch, still 5 hours in their day. Will do a complete flush/recharge if getting worse when lights come on tonight I guess.
Any ideas?

I think your plan sounds wonderful to be honest bud
Yellow tips is burn isn't it?

Re: Phenomenawesome's Auto Cannabonanza - GSC - LSD-25 - Northern Lights - Diesel In
Ya normally thats the case... I was able to push them to the most minor of tip burn, a good indicator amount, in soil but it was luck.
I have read cases of deficiencies though causing this too so it's a weird on the fence thing.
Just wish it wasn't the very newest stuff.
I think your right though, just watch closely today and she'll be the first that I do a true 'flush and replace' on. Make sure it's not a buildup or starvation in one sweep.
Its coco she'll be dry halfway through the day .
Oh I should mention while on 1KW the light is all the way up, about 38 to 40 inches. my phone meter shows about the same lux as 600W it was at. 30-40,000 I know we use par but it's what I have.
Going to ease them into it, but this way they all get an even spread. 600w dies out in the corners.
Temps 79 degrees.

I understand the lux scale better and charts of spectrum colours .
That's what makes big girls were getting is 30-40 thou lux
Not sure if you know this but I it might help. Check this out

I've been looking everywhere for this information.
... and what's worse is I use that site all of the time.
Probably daily I go to that website to either double check something or read something new and I never found this article . Crazy how these things work.
This is perfect, thank you so much

Re: Phenomenawesome's Auto Cannabonanza - GSC - LSD-25 - Northern Lights - Diesel In
Building on an idea.
So here's what I've been considering over the last few weeks. After the autos, the chosen clones go into these as Hempy pots.
...been reading a lot lately about Hempy,
It seems cost efficient.
I replace the originally planned 5 DWC buckets for these with perlite?
I could cut out a hole in the top and a split like a cloner collar in shape to allow for the bottom to open and close it after watering!
Running 4-5 clones in these with a scrog will do it. Big roots for big buds. Likely less evaporation and humidity.
Yep yep yep.
Now I just need to make it easier to capture the waste...I thought flood tray at an angle with fabric pots for coco but if I use these for Hempy instead will need something else.
