OK, first look at this table for information about 22 AWG wire. American Wire Gauge table and AWG Electrical Current Load Limits

It clearly states that the maximum amps for chassis wiring is 7 A. That can support 700 W, conservatively. That is the equivalent of running 27 26W CFL lightbulbs.

Before you say the power transmission rating like a douche, please read the description of those ratings above the table.

Another thing about the wiring, if you use the wiring that I have (shown in the pic above), you'd see that the maximum current through any wire is at the terminals and that would only be 1/2 the total load, clearly by symmetry. So that means the wires could potentially support 14A, or or 1400 W.

That website also contains a calculator so you can verify various numbers such as voltage drops and power dissipation if you don't believe me.

you're just an ignorant pussy who is all smug about your redundant safety. Clearly I know what I'm talking about, so you can go fuck yourself.

This is the next 3rd week in the ladies progress. One of the leaves (3rd pic) was damaged. I think it was caused by heat. The CFLs were actually a bit too close, but they're better now. I'm pretty pleased with the inter-nodal spacing.

Cool dude. I want to see them when they get a little bigger .

Best believe most of us want to leave, furthest we went was out of our minds but we're still here...

Hey bro. I like what you got going on... In my opinion the plants appear to be stretching though. Might want to get those lights a little closer.

Otherwise the grows is lookin' grub.

What makes you say that? See I am bit wary when it comes to moving the lights closer because I don't have fans or any ventilation. That is why I used the mylar reflectors, so that I could direct most of the light flux towards the plant anyway. What makes you think it's stretching, I'm not sure.

Well.. I'm not saying that they are scraggly stretchy ugly things... I mean, it's not like the infamous white fork widow or anything...

However, the stem has more length between the bottom node and the dirt, than the entire rest of the plant. I would say if the length of trunk (below branches) is longer than the length of growth area - they are stretched..

Could be wrong...

Plant's are looking good sake. Keep up the good work. I had a feeling it was gunna get too hot.

Ah, Makes sense. I do think the trunk is a little too large, but I have to work with that now. We had some issues with lighting on startup, but it's ok now.


Thanks for the replies Dr. Chronic.

Looks good , look foward to following along!

Here are some pics from week 4.

Those initial leaves that were initially burnt and slowly dying off.

Questions
- Any comments on the inter-node spacing?
- Should I get a fan in there to help make the main branch stronger? Does it really make a significant difference?

I am planning on getting a 250W HPS for flowering. I will line the entire cabinet with mylar soon.
