    Small outdoor grow with automated blackout

    Has anyone made a small grow box for 1 plant that has automated blackout curtains? I hate going out every day at 7pm and 7 am. I was thinking maybe with an arduino I could rig up a motor to a curved track and put it on a timer. I usually grow indoors but would love to try another outdoor grow...

    HTH Pool Shock Numbers not adding up

    I appreciate you going over the numbers and including more calculations, will definitely use that to try and approximate 2-3 ppm's of free cl. I can also use my test strips to show approximately how much free cl there is as well but it's not extremely accurate between 1 and 5. All I know is...

    HTH Pool Shock Numbers not adding up

    Still I'd like people to comment on my numbers. I'm pretty sure I'm right and the previous threads were wrong. I could use less than 5ml of concentrate but the concentrate being 30x as strong as previously suggested seems right. If you're right about the storage of concentrate not storing well...

    HTH Pool Shock Numbers not adding up

    So I've been reading a bunch of forum posts on using pool shock to keep a sterile rez but the number's I've been seeing do not add up with the pool strip testing that I just finished and the calculations I did after. The number's that I saw was to use 1 gram of 50% calcium hypochlorite powder...

    What would happen if my voltage exceeded my driver?

    What's the difference between open circuit voltage and constant current region voltage? Also wouldn't dimming it lower the voltage needs? I'm probably gonna just get new drivers too but I wanna understand what would happen if I stuck with the same one. Open circuit voltage is exactly the same...

    What would happen if my voltage exceeded my driver?

    I currently have 3x vero 29gen7 version B (~50v) on an HLG 240Hc1400b and I'm thinking about switching over to 5x D gen8's (~36v) but the max voltage of the driver is 179v and 5 of those chips is approximately 180v (182v if its 36.4v per, data sheet is unclear at that amperage). What will...

    Need help wiring my ac power meter

    I'm aware of what the meter ac in and load connectors are and that it is wired that way (If you look at my picture I drew that wiring diagram but I drew it from memory so I reversed the sides left to right). The problem comes in what load is wired to though. If I connect everything (load and ac...

    Need help wiring my ac power meter

    So I've got this power meter that I've been trying to set up (actually was already running it but the way I was running it seemed bad which I'll get to shortly). I drew a picture of the wiring but don't know electronics very well and need help not killing myself or at least not shorting out my...

    Why is my node spacing so terrible?

    Padawan is right but just ask yourself what's going on here? Of course strain affects node distance and everything else listed, but those lower portions were blocked from light which also shifts the spectrum of light going through resulting in more stretch. You could defoliate before stretch...

    Why is my node spacing so terrible?

    That's a very thick canopy and I can tell by how thick the stems are where you defoliated that you didn't defoliate until after it stretched. Those lower portions weren't getting a lot of light hence they stretched. I would reduce canopy thickness personally before stretch or defoliate sooner.

    Vero 29's not running full power

    Sorry replied when I was basically asleep. Guess I didn't consider the chip was a hair over 36, thanks for the replies. Also now I'm more awake and I feel like an idiot :(

    Vero 29's not running full power

    Doesn't really explain why I'm running low though.

    Vero 29's not running full power

    So I put together 3 vero 29's (version d, 36v) with an hlg 120h c1400b (151.2w max) and had everything hooked up prior to setting up a proper fixture for it and I had it running just past 150w. Yesterday I got all the parts I needed to wire it up to a fixture and when I hooked everything up it...

    Rate my setup

    It's not a vipar the front light is an old Mars that I took the lights out of and put more veros into. I also disagree that the vero 3000k 90 cri has enough red, I've seen bigger calyxes with this added red vs the stock vero results as well as more rounded colas that I think develop more evenly.

    Rate my setup

    Well I got some plants from a friend that had white powdery mildew and put them in the tent next to it and I guess it all spread over to my flowering tent (the original plants are now pm free) and I've been fighting a losing battle but I only have two weeks so hopefully I make it without it...

    Rate my setup

    I built the vero fixtures and repurposed the mars light for veros as well. The p150 I just took apart and took off the glass and focusing lenses.

    Rate my setup

    Is this a decent set up? Been debating upgrading this with some more red/ir diodes or just going for a qb set up. I have 6x vero 29 3000k 90 cri running up to 70 watts each overhead, currently at 50 watts each for a total of 300 watts. I have a platinum p150 blurple that I took apart and took...

    DC barrel connectors

    Guess these should work, thank you! https://www.amazon.com/Molex-Connector-Matched-2-Circuits-Hanging/dp/B074G5PQHL/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=Molex+Connectors&qid=1604364319&sr=8-3

    DC barrel connectors

    How would I take my driver off my fixture with a removeable connector? What kind of connector could I use? I keep seeing low voltage or too high voltage connectors in my searches. I'm running three vero 29's per fixture, 52vx3=156v in series, approximately. I wanna be able to disconnect from...
