Here is the other dilemma. Power for lights, lol. I just got to investigating the situation further. Looks like I only have 2 x 15 amp circuits in the entire basement. I have to figure out what plugs are on what circuit and run a heavy gauge extension chord attached to a good surge protector for now.
Thanks bro, I will have to look mine up. Iām just afraid with the heaters and dehumidifier running Iām going to be pushing the limit. Time to add some amps.
Itās not like I will have both lights full go at the same time anywayā¦or will I? There will probably be a little overlap.
Max amps is 6.9 on the lights. Very efficient like you said @MeEasy . The heaters are max 12.5 themselves. More than the lights but I never run them on high. Looks like I am going to need a meter to gauge what Iām really pulling.
This is how the prefilter ended up. I rigged up a new way to hang it to make it easier to hang. I hate messing with the filter with my light up. I need to figure out a better place to put it but itās gotta be in the tent. Iām exhausting outside not in the house because even though itās filtered, it still smells a little. Itās up now though.
My tent and the filters I buy come with straps and I strap it to one of the side top bars I have a fan on the ceiling that blows over the top of my light. This is the pic I took the other day before I replaced the cables with chains
Edit = lol I looked at the pic I actually have ratchet rope on the filter in the 4x4 but see the straps, in the other tents I have them wrapped around the pole and filter without the r.ropes
I had straps but the teeth werenāt holding very well. It was slipping. I have more but I figured what the heck with the rope. I adjusted it so itās attached to both loops instead of 1 which leveled it out a little. Iām just afraid Iām going to mess up the light every time Iām working up there. Problem is itās 8ā to reach the top, lol.
I like your macgyver rope it looks easier with the single carabiner than the way mine is and my tents are only 6ā.5" tall and 6ā on the 2x4s⦠itās pretty easy in the 2x4s because I can do it without even getting in them but like you itās a pain in the 4x4 with the light in there. Iām pretty sure thatās why I put the r.ropes so like you again itās just undoing the carabiners. I found a pic of one of the 2x4s
It definitely made it a little easier with one attachment point. Those straps were making me . I just noticed your surge protector in the tent. I need to put one in mine. I still have some tuning of the tent to do. How long do your filters last you?
If you mean the one in the 4x4 itās not ot an actual surge protector just a dollar store cheapy the ol lady got me itās just running the three little fans, it is plugged into a surge protector though I like it just to add plugs inside there because it doesnāt have any switches with lights in them⦠nothing to tape up, I wouldnāt run much power through it itās pretty flimsy⦠the ones in the 2x4s are timers with half n half timer always on plugs
I should just run a couple of small extension chords with extra plugs on the end. I have a good surge protector, I just need more plus in the tent to, lol.
Itās feeding timeā¦or just watering since I am growing with the Earth Dust and itās low maintenance just like I like my women (I wish) . Iām sure Iām not the easiest to maintain either.
I was thinking about this the other day, even though you have the boost down in the bottom of your soil I would top dress them with just a tiny amount of boost just to have some up top as well. Personally I would do just 1 tbs of boost per gallon of soil at the 30 days when I would normally feed my autos⦠obviously you donāt have to Iām just saying what I would do
It just adds new life to the top and a little extra food for the life that is already there. I donāt know if you have looked at the ingredients but it has everything you would use to make a tea and then some
I have read the ingredients. There is a lot of stuff in them for sure. I actually read the ingredients again today because I gave away a couple of bags to a grow buddy. Iām getting him hookedā¦.I feel like an Earth Dust dealer . Thanks again for getting me hooked!
