Finally the voice of reason lol thanks what makes this whole thing confusing is the time factor on most smartphones the clocks automatically update as the clocks go back an hour in October I figured if i just plug my grow timer into a plug in the kitchen then I won't lose track of the situation or maybe I could just put a basic clock on the wall and stick to that time schedule lol
You could also get a decent power strip and have the dehumidifier separate from the timer and light and still all on the same circuit. Then you don't have to worry about messing with the lights twice a day.
No, an event is different than a pattern. Auxins are only affected by patterns. That's why it takes a good 7-10 days to see the first organized flowering after changing your plant's light schedule below 16 hours.
Brave isn't the word lol
I have an 8 way power plug extension it has about 15m cable length this one was connected to the light and timer I also have a 4 way plug extension this one controls the extraction fan (24/7) it also controls my 2 oscillating fans here's the problem? My extraction fan cable is Retarded the cable won't reach the 8 way plug extension so I cant connect the light to the 4 way extension because it runs (24/7) so my problem now is? I have to run a dehumidifier during flowering all night with the 8 way hence why I can't run the light and grow timer it's annoying but it's not the end of the world anything to make sure my humidity levels are where there suppose to be. lol also I only have 2 power sockets in the room that work : /
Buy a longer extension.
I'd have to be crazy to forget something as important as this lol
I only have 2 power sockets each one has an extension connected to it so? the extraction fan has to run 24/7 the extraction fan cable only reaches the back hole of tent it's not the 4 way extension at fault here now the 8 way extension has the light and dehumidifier connected i don't run dehumidifier during day only at night because if I did the light would be on too so unless I don't bother with dehumidifier which I need then I can't use timer for the light so I have to do it manually
Until you forget! (LOL)
Sounds like your pulling a lot of watts/amps out of one outlet, have you figured out how much power you're drawing and what the plug amps are? Hate to see you overload a socket and cause a fire. Most outlets are 15 amps (US) and that is cumulative for all outlets on the circuit. Also, make sure your extension cords are rated for the amps your drawing.
Yes everything is safe touch wood I've bought decent extensions not cheap ones no I'm not really pulling that much power tbf the 4 way only has the extraction fan 24/7 and osculating fan and the 8 way extension is only supporting the 600w hps dimmable which atm I'm only using the 400w and the dehumidifier is a class A energy efficient .
The extension is not at fault here it's the short extraction fan cable it only reaches the hole of tent
That’s what happened to me when I started sampling buds (first grow) and kept waking up super stoned and late.
Wire a longer one to the fan then. It didn't make itself, a human wired it, unscrew , rewire with the same gauge. If you can't be bothered doing that then use a single socket extension.
Crazy not to get a timer. Unheard of. Really. They’re a few bucks. You’re courting disaster by resisting. Do what you will. Twice a day at precise times, or a $10 timer? So frustrating to think about I’m gonna give me free advice and move on. Good luck.
It's confusing because the time will automatically update an hour back on most smartphones and I would lose my sense of time which would mean I give them an extra hour of light figure it out friend it was puzzling me for a while but now I know the ideal thing to do a normal clock doesn't go back by itself so I can just stick to that time schedule lol
JEEEZ, an extra hour of light (or an hour less) for one day will make no difference whatsoever with the light schedule you're running!!!!!
Accidentally came back to this thread and it got my pulse racing.
