    Troubleshooting: DIY Light on the fritz

    We are back online! I think it was one of the connections between the solderless stars and the cobs. I was using a wire nut because I had ran out of slide on connectors. That or the connection between the driver and the wire was no good. Funny thing is, the lights and cab seem noticably...

    Troubleshooting: DIY Light on the fritz

    Swapped it out with 18/3 300v...not turning on at all now. I think I'm going to test each individual cob now with a driver rated to power just one. Luckily the connectors I used between each cob are easily swapped. Hopefully I didn't fry something.. report back soon. Girls aren't too happy...

    Troubleshooting: DIY Light on the fritz

    215-430v rating for the driver. I'm running about 340v Never felt the heat, but I need them in the light now. Off to city mill for wire soon. 16awg 600v or so. Probably should grab a multimeter also. All the leds light up, dimmed right now. Praying the new wire will make them glow bright again...

    Troubleshooting: DIY Light on the fritz

    @Positivity All were dimmed down to the same very low level. That doesn't sound like fun. Let's hope it's simpler than that! Turns out my wire is rated at only 150v. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Southwire-50-ft-18-2-Thermostat-Wire-Brown-64162140/204862204 I have over 300v from the 12 vero 10s...

    Troubleshooting: DIY Light on the fritz

    No holders, vero 10s. Pico connectors. I checked to see if those were secure also. Trying to find voltage rating for the wire

    Troubleshooting: DIY Light on the fritz

    My family Hello! Slight complications right now in the house of Waiks. For the past few days I've had to jiggle the connection point between the driver wires and the cob wires to get it to light up. (18 gauge solid alarm wire, hlg 120h 350B) Today I had the time to redo the connection. I cut...

    Hawaii Cabinet Growing

    Aloha, welcome to the islands Is stealth a requirement? Tents are nice. But if you must have furniture there are plenty of outlets and liquidation stores. What kind of space do you have to work with? A 4x8 plywood goes for around 40 bucks. If it's small, it might be cheaper to build from...

    Help with how many cobs for small closet grow

    I have never had a single cob in the tent to see the coverage myself, but most people are saying one cxb3070 @1.4a will cover 1.5sq ft nicely. I think 4 in only 3 ft is overkill. Tim Fox scrogged in the same space with 2 cobs on one rail, and finished with 5 zips dry...

    Light bleaching? Deficiencies? Or just Noobness?

    After doing some more research based on the discussion here, I've decided to foliar mag and water reg RO. I know I need mag, but I don't want to salt up the soil. Looks like 1/2 tsp epsom per gal water looks nice for a foliar. Wish me luck! Big thank you to everyone

    Light bleaching? Deficiencies? Or just Noobness?

    Act is brewing atm. Girls need water right now so I will hit with a little store bought RO. What's an inexpensive way to test my tap? I've looked up the analysis from the board and it looks fine. My building is almost 60 years old though. Idk man, the 3 gal girl looks fine and I'm starting to...

    Roots B2: Peat Moss, Coco Fiber, Perlite, Pumice, Worm Castings, Calcitic Lime and Dolomitic Lime for pH Control, and Rock Dust Yes, yes, yes. The plants have been in the 1.5s for almost two months now. Vegged in there a bit. Definitely doing 2x 10# or 15# smarties next round. Blumats too...

    Light bleaching? Deficiencies? Or just Noobness?

    I'll do an epsom watering tomorrow morning. If no good progress after two days I'll grab some gypsum and give her a whirl. Thank you for the quick responses.

    Light bleaching? Deficiencies? Or just Noobness?

    Thanks! Those are the deficiencies that made the most sense to me. I have super hard tap water and I was half assuming I would not need to add anything in too often. Any alternatives to gypsum? I have oyster shell. Hard to find gypsum in small quantities like I need it. Great avatar btw...

    Light bleaching? Deficiencies? Or just Noobness?

    Wasn't sure where to post this...But I'm pretty sure it's light bleaching so my home here in LED seemed fit! Here's a look My cxb3070s @1.4A are positioned pretty much directly above the 4 mt cooks in the corners of the tent. Cobs have been 10-12 inches away and haven't been moved for a...
