Now that is what I call a maturing bud! Fukkin love me a milf.

The calyxes are swelling, the stigmas are swirling, and the trichomes are a popping, and as a friend of mine (who needs to get in touch!!!) said, "do you not think that the calyxes sometimes swell up and look like boobs?"....by jove young man, I think you could be correct. Perhaps that's why we are attracted to bud, it's just a cluster of titties really!!!!

Rumor is that a group wants to go sailing Friday night - organizers please post meeting time and then those who want to participate respond for a head count and so group will know who to look for -- and remember to reserve boats online.

Look, I don't want to start a fight.

I'm an Electronics Technician, over 30 years experience.
I've worked with everything from 5V to 30KV.

So, speaking from experience and authority - While the end result maybe the same for 115 & 220, the power used to generate said "final output", is greater for 115v especially in heavier load situations.

Why do you think that the main transmission towers are running voltages in the hundreds of KV range?
Because it just can't be done with 115Vac.

No fights here :-)

Could you explain why, in laymans terms.

So for household use 220 is cheaper? how much?

Thank god we only have 1 electricity supply, lol.

And after checking Kellypinto's other posts it seems like a legit user so I am like, whodat and supchaka completely lost with what that post means. Please shed some 600 light on it for us Kellypinto?

Simplest way....hmmm.

The more current that goes through a wire/cable, the greater the heat produced.
You've felt a hot wire haven't you?
All the heat that comes form any electrical device (except heaters, stoves, etc.), is pure wasted energy.

So by upping the voltage, one of the effects is a reduction of waste heat.

How much cheaper? I have no idea.

Here is a question, since we're on light and power. If you guys were using 600w HPS bulbs for SIDE LIGHT, would you dim them to 400, or leave them at 600? I have 4 X 600w HPS horizontal over head, 1 X 600w MH vertical over head, and then 3 X 600W HPS on the walls, vertical as well. Should I dim the walls? I'm wondering if I'm wasting power. My Digilux throw 95,000l and are 2 feet away from the plants side.

If the temps were fine, I would run them all afraw, saying that I give my plants a break and have each light go off for a couple of hours during the day....so I kind of run my lights at 75% if that makes any sense.

Complete sense. I'm picturing the sunrise/sunset light controllers which run lights at 75% by starting on one side, mimicking sunrise, and rotating after 8 hours or so. Didn't see amazing results with this process, but it allowed me to picture what you are explaining.

The lower flowers are producing a lot of meds due to the side light, but the power bill hurts. Thanks. The reactor will continue at full power.

All things being equal (in a mathematically perfect world where Resistance is a constant), it saves about 1% in power consumption.

But things are not always equal and the added resistance in a normal 110v-rated power cable due to heat build-up will decrease efficiency pretty drastically.
And many power cables are constructed kind of poorly, or are used beyond their rated specs for prolonged periods of time, which is increases heat and resistance
It still only comes out to 2% to 3%.
Not a huge savings for the home user, but on a commercial/industrial level, that adds up real quick.
As said before, using high volt & low amps (with a heavy power cable) is more for a fire safety measure for the home user, since most things running on 220v are fairly heavy duty (high power load) appliances/tools.

I've never taken the DOG outside for pics so today was a special day for her! You can see her seeds peeking out teasing me of whats to come in the future!
Shes exactly 5.5 weeks in flower, botanicare veg, bloom, karma and sweet in Happy frog and perlite.

been a while, been busy on the farm.... it's officially Spring in Oregon now.


Shot a video of my irrigation system the other day. Thought I would share.

Can I come live in the woods? Looks like some beautiful land you got there, very cool.
