What up, Dirk? Thanks for watching, man... and all the great comments too.

I got UC on the brain too, but I gotta figure out how I can run two thousand watt lights without frying all the fuses in my apartment...

thats an easy one jin. just had an electrician install some 20 amp circuits. i ran out of room after those 2. He just said dont worry about it you can replace the single breakers with dual breaker circuits. that way you can add the extra juice and not worry about them tripping. you are going to need a place for the outlet. you could also run it on top of the sheet rock but dont know about apartment living rules.

Please explain in greater detail... or in terms a complete non-electrician can understand. I can do simple re-wiring of a lamp cord with caps, but that's about the extent of my electrical ability.

By replacing breaker circuits, do you mean in my fuse box?

edit:

Hm... maybe I should just call a professional.

i've done a lot of construction building and even some electrical but i won't touch the panel. in you panel you have breaker circuits. so when you blow a fuse you have to go and reset that breaker. well you would have to pull that out and replace it with a special breaker that has 2 switchs which control the breaker. so what that means is that if you have a 15 amp circuit in your panel. by removing that circuit breaker you could easily put a dual breaker in thus giving you an extra 15 amp circuit to load. you need a professional electrician with a license. thats the best i could do on this blackberry kush. lol.

See if you can spot the signs of amber trichs. It might be hard on these reduced res photos, but I can see them in the original res.

I pretty much can do whatever I want in my apartment. I'm gonna call a pro. No way I'm fucking with what you just described.

Yo gin i have worked as a freelance electrician...
Have a certificate an everything...
I worked for the union for one day and quit....
I was stupid... wanted to go back to college....
But i did wire allot of my own house up.....
and other houses.....
You could ask me some questions... been so long since i worked with tools an all...
But it could be a simple fix....
Let me try to read up on your journ and answer your question....

okay,
I dont think running a 1000 watter would be a problem...
I dont know what kinda service you have.... meaning how many Amps your panel is....you know where the power comes in from the electrical company....
Most households have a 100 amp service....Which is ideal .....
Either in 15 amp breakers or 20.....
At the service panel its easy .... nothing to be scared of.... youll see the number 20 or 15...
These breakers go off when you go over the allowed amps...
And usually we just switch em back on.....
Im sure you know this im just trying to explain it as easily as possible.....

It wold be ideal for you to have a single breaker (circuit) just for your 1000 watter....
Just like your washer and dryer are by code required to have there own circuit....

I really dont know how many breakers you got just for the room.....
But it is quite easy to calculate ... and i know a 1000 should run fine on a 20 amper....

It would be great seeing if u didnt have a big service ..... too run a sub panel...
But that cn be alot of work and cost big money ....
Its not that tuff to do ... but youl need to have a pipe bender and know how to wire it up...
In most cases youll need an electrician ..... and sub panels are pricey for labor and parts.....

What i did once was changed my breakers from 15 to 20amps....
This can be dangerous if u dont know what your doing....
But not really to big of a job.... can be done in less than a hour....
In most cases #12 and 14 wire works for both 20 amp and 15 amp breakers...

To really know if u have enuff power in your service youll have to study ohms law...
I could expalin it... but rather itd be easy to learn.... Watts x volts= amp..... Amps /volt = watts ...
And so on....

I just remembered your in an apartment so i really dont knw how your gonna do all this ...my bad....

LORDJIN! your buds look amazing! Typical OG look to it. Something you would see on a poster, magazine, or profile on OG Kush. I am going to start flushing for 3 days on day 56 and chop day 59. How bout you?

You're much too kind, sir. A six dry gram bud is nothing to sneeze at. And in all honesty, I know my thoughts of a half ounce bud might be fantasizing just a little... but you gotta dare to dream, right?

I'm familiar with resetting my breaker box fuses as I've caused overloads before. And yes, a simple flip of the fuse switch always turns it back on. I was stupidly using a cord that couldn't handle the power draw of my lamp and it wasn't until after melting two of them that I finally got that super chubby heavy duty one like they use on movie sets for their heavy lights. Now power draw is fine and if I plug my lights in two separate breaker areas in my apartment, I think I should be okay... I THINK.

Ah, this is the good stuff. I'm gonna let them drink down their nutes until Wed of the coming week, letting the PPM gradually fall. Wed I will start my flush and let them run on continual sprayer of water for a solid week (changing the water out every day with my auto-topper). That would put me at 63 days.

Answer? To Flush.

Y'know how you smoke some bud sometimes and the ash leaves solid black charcoal particles? That's nutes yer smoking. A well flushed bud not only is a cleaner high that doesn't give you headaches, when you burn it, it should keep burning all the way down to a fine white ash... and even those last hits to clear a bowl should taste pretty good.

Flushing isn't about adding potency, but rather enhancing presentation.

Edit:
That's why it's hard for me to smoke dispensary stuff after my harvest runs out. Few growers take the care I do.

I should have shown it to you sooner... Uh... It's something I've been working on in my...other room... yeah, that's it. Isn't it lovely? I know what you're thinking, "where does he find the time?" I know, I'm pretty amazing if I do say so myself.
Here! Enjoy before the real owner of this bud shows up... Lol!

i always thought it burned black cause it was still not dry enuff...
I try to put a couple gallons threw... before i harvest ...
Rather i just taper down on nutes.....
Still lurning tho... post harvest is the true test of a great grower...

I cheated and cut some chem d down already .... the rest should be coming down next week....
Did u ever notice a big difference when u dont flush...???

Yeah, it's partially the wet chlorophyll too when it burns black, but as remaining nutes are the prime contributor to grassiness, I guess it's kinda' what I meant.

I've always flushed, so the only thing I can compare it to are the prune trimmings I smoke prior to flush... yeah, night and day. You also can't beat the 'clean high' of a well flushed crop. That's what my personal micro has over even the best dank at a store.
