Greenpoint seeds!!

Who would i contact to inspect it if it is a bomb?

Upon closer inspection, it just might be a bomb. You better call the bomb squad, the FBI, Homeland Security and your phone provider. Just to be sure …

Hey guys, have had a long break for me. However, in a new house at the moment and I found this crazy loud ticking noise coming from this box/picture I posted below. Thing is so loud, damn. This house is super upgraded and very very nice. I highly doubt this technology matches the house. Any ideas what this thing is??? The light switch next to it that I am guessing controls it, shows that it is in the off position. So it should absolutely not be ticking. The people working on the house who have done all upgrades/built the house, really are very good and know what they are doing. Please help me figure this out if it is anything to need fixing asap. Thanks!

I used to work with those all the time as stated above they are an old school timer. Most of ours were wired to the line side of the timer straight from a breaker then from the load side to a set of contactors for the actual switching of the lighting circuuits. If your panel was updated properly it should be labeled. If it's a viable working system should be able to just change out for a modern timer.

Thanks for the info. When would the like last year these things would have been used then? That is my idea here. The entire house was rebuilt just like 5 years ago. So why the hell is this piece of crap re-put here?

 

[growslut]

Ok I can assure you guys just due to the noise this creates, it would not be in the house. Not this nice of a house. The person has upgraded everything and this would not go un-changed if it is possible. Is there newer technology for these things?

you got an answer

take it somewhere else

so is Gu's cake n chem a keeper on its own? I see a couple dudes saying they really want to grow it in the review section(wff?)
anyone?

This is the problem with untested gear. Literally nobody has grown it, so who knows? People just want it because it’s a cheap “Wedding Cake” cross.

Says exterior lighting in the box cover next to the timer? Do you have exterior lighting that does or doesn't work.
Like I said I would start in the panel, if not marked maybe start flipping breakers carefully to find the feed. People do weird shit trying retro things in, that being in a bedroom it's probably on that circuit??

You can probably still buy that style of timer these days. They aren't crap, they are solid mechanical timers darn near bullet proof. Just ugly and loud...good luck. Someone with a bit of electrical experience should be able to figure that out fairly easy.

It's funny that you say this. After growing up in Washington state, and then spending my adult life in the southeast, it's funny how many of us perceive people with southern accents as not being smart, but I know from direct experience that some people that sound like complete hicks are some of the most intelligent, creative, and ingenious people I've ever met.

I have a good friend that has been on Jerry Springer Show.
Twice! lol
I sound just like her accent.

Ok I think I figured out an easy sound solution to my possible but not yet confirmed issue. So I need to figure out what time that timer will turn on whatever it does, and then pay attention to the house lighting to see where it leads.

anyone?

only reviews I hardly ever see are kids writing a review on how the seeds look, how fire they are gonna be, etc. Lubda and others have given real reviews and reports, but those website kids reports irritate me to no end.

what about a pool or hottub?

Have that accent, lived in WI, yankees asking me all the time, you not from here, are you, to which I would reply, couple miles south, lol. TBH, I heard more bullshit about yankees hating the south, than I ever heard living in the south about yankees, other than, he's a yankee.

Its a mechanical timer. They sell them at lowes. Used for lighting. Probably for xmas lights. Or someone that lived there before growing.

I have about 25 of those.

If its ticking it's no good. Theres a hole right above the yellow circle stick your pinky in it. Theres a small gear that turns really slow. You can feel it. If its.not turning itd garbage. And you can buy those every where. They make digital and mechanical still. That's not old.

There are some that's had a difficult time w/ you for a long time, no doubt. I think your points are valid, and the picture reveal....shadang! I don't know how that gets defended. It's pretty disappointing to a lot of good people I'm sure.



Everyone has a right to be pissed. Good plants or not, [a] integrity, honesty, and [c]non-douchery matter to good people. I metaphorically dated Tony Green through a third pack of beans before our breakup. Category C. I'm more invested in GPS, and have gotten good results. It's a quandary [ noun - a state of perplexity or uncertainty over what to do in a difficult situation. ]

Edit - no idea why that posted in bold letters.

So more Keneth Lay than Bill Gates?

No bro it’s a old sprinkler timer I’ve seen them multiple times fixing houses just disconnect the power lines and your all set

It's not a sprinkler timer. Those are designed for lighting. Usually they run into a lighting contactor.

 

[whytewidow]

You can still buy them at lowes and home depot.

Old Intermatic timer.
Notable for it's reliability because of steel construction of the mechanism and ability to handle higher amperage loads without melting.
My guess is it is used to control a streetlight for security based on the partial words "exterior light" I can make out on the hard wired box connected to it.

Used to be common to use these for HID indoor growers.

 

[somebodyhearted]

it uses power if its ticking
