Revenge of the Little Guy
Now I'm not vindictive by nature and my training beat that outta me long ago. I'll give ya the long and short on meditation, you really only have to take up the training for 8 weeks or so to really see the benefits and what an arsehole you've been yer entire life. That's what sticks the most, the olympic athlete type self discipline fades with out continued regular assiduous practice. There's no magic about it, I can stick yer head in a brain scanner and prove it, it simply works like exercise on the most plastic organ in yer body, yer brain. It's off topic so if ya got issues with pain or depression PM me, I can help, but it's up to you. You must first climb the mountain before you can enjoy the view.

Now on to politics my least favorite subject, but since it has to do with human suffering, I will continue. If we get the new 4 plant law I'm going public with local free seminars on maximizing yer yield, you charge if ya want, but mine will be free. I will encourage everybody I can whether they smoke or not, cause even though I'm not driven by greed my self (training), I none the less know it's power, compassion is much, much stronger. If most folks can get a pound of good bud a month, they will give it to their friends or if they are low or fixed income sell it to survive, most won't smoke much.

I figure this will drive the greedy bastards of the world nuts and I'm gonna enjoy the show. The politically connected growers who screwed ya, might regret that decision, as their profits margins drop and the poor folks get some. It's kinda like having yer cake and eating it too, want some? I had a 3 gram a day prescription, but let it lapse and like my Buddy, got the xrays ta get 5 if I wanted, I'm joining the teeming masses. My training allows me to hurt and laugh like Hell, there's a difference between pain and suffering and I teach it.

Though if you PM me, I have my own way of teaching and you will hear stuff like "Most of the stuff that passes through our minds, is a lot like that which passes through our arseholes, not particularly useful and sometimes downright harmful".

PS If ya wanna debate me on moral or ethical issues, it'll be hard to get me by the balls.

Tone can be tough to sort out when the only means of communicating is in print, so I'm just trying to be as clear about my attitude and intentions as possible in the hope of getting off misunderstanding.

It turns out that there's no shortage of mentally unstable people on this site! If I pointed a finger, the other three would point back at me, lol

Would I wire the thermal switch in series on the input side of the driver or the output side? I was planning to mount them with thermally conductive tape directly to the aluminum cooling block. Does this seem the best option?
Yer a good man Yoda and as such, you are my friend

I wanted to get that out of the way first. AC side of the driver is always best, though a thermal fuse on the dc side next to the cob is effective too, but second best. Aways wire such switches in series and if yer paranoid about boiling water with yer COBs, put two or three in series with the line on the AC side and have'm on every bar. If yer cooling blocks are cooled in series ya only need to monitor one to tell the tail.

Each module has its own driver and is interchangeable with all the others. Since the thermal switches are cheap, I envision using one on every module, mounted as close to a chip as I can get it. Do I need to use a different thermal switch depending on whether I mount it on the AC or DC side? Do I need one that cuts two circuits if I'm using 240V single phase power?

240 in Colorado, you must be ambitious indeed! A switch is a switch AC or DC only it's current rating and internal resistance are factors. You can do it that way or save yerself some work if yer blocks are cooled in series and only use one per parallel cooling line for each series string of blocks. A thermal fuse say 65 c on the positive side of the COB would be a fail safe. Most of these thermal switches are rated at 10 amps, but if yer drawing near the limit they might heat up due to internal resistance, so use two in parallel and series string two, for safety.

Don't burn down yer house, the wife would be PISSED!;)

Doh furgot to hit reply! Not too mindful am I;)

And if ya ain't using proper grounding, you'll be dead in yer grow a long time fur anybody finds ya cause the carbon filter will pretty much take care of the smell;)

PS make sure the switches yer using are rated for the voltage too!

Nearly every home in America is wired with 240V; two hot legs and the neutral, grounded at the breaker box. 120V lines are one leg or the other, the neutral and the third is ground. I built my rooms to handle a lot of watts so wiring them for 240V was the obvious way to go.

If I put a thermal switch on only one hot leg, the driver would likely just revert to 120V operation. That's why I'm thinking putting it on the DC side makes more sense. My only fear there is a powered driver pushing no load.

Since my modules are designed to be interchangeable- modular!- I'd go the extra yard and just wire them all with a thermal switch. That way there's nothing extra to mess with when swapping modules.

I took proper wiring and current grounding extremely seriously here. Several master electricians were involved at various stages of the project and I worked hard to learn all I could from each of them.

Higher volts, lower amps. Now I know ya know what yer really doing and we can set grounding aside. I don't kill my friends, I help em!
Drivers for the most part are SMPS, with current limiting, think what happens when ya unplug yer laptop from the wall wart. Most drivers have short protection and other protection built in, meanwells go the extra mile in current control and I would expect difficulties with them, cheap chinese drivers are not as sophisticated and behave pretty much like wall warts. But this is just theory, try and fry one and see, but if yer a tight arse like me ya might be a bit reluctant, but I think it will be ok.

There's nothing wrong with going the extra mile fur safety, yer in business, not a high diver

WISDUM
I think I'll intersperse somethings I learned (free) from my masters and they were many, including my friends. If yer the kind that isn't interested, unsubscribe, cause being here won't do you any good. Teaching stories can be important in learning a practice or how to live in general.

Long long ago in a place far far away a student was bitching to his gentle master about having trouble concentrating on his breath. The old man smiled gently with a bit of a twinkle in his eye and told the student to come with down with him to the river and look at his own reflection in the water (pre-mirror days). As the student gazed lovingly at his own reflection, the gentle master grabbed the arrogant sonofabitch by the scruff of the neck and plunged his head into the water and held him there until he fuck'n near stopped thrashing. When he pulled the young man out panicked and sputtering he looked him in the eye and said, "was your breath important to you then"! Jus so ya know where I'm coming from, we ain't always nice, but it's just like building a grow light, we act in your interest and not in our own, cause if we didn't, we wouldn't be worth a fuck, to ourselves, or anybody else. And no, I didn't misspell wisdom, I just don't want to get too full of myself, cause this is a wisdom practice.

Boy, there ain't nothin like preach'n and blow'n yer horn to kill a thread, it dies real quick, let's see what happens next...;)

If there ain't nobody hurt'n out there, I plan on staying on topic, but you who are lurking should know where I'm coming from and why I do what I do. Oh and don't to forget to act human, or the Government and I, as well any other decent person, will think of you as an animal and treat you accordingly, I can lead ya around by the nose, but the Government has other plans... And by the way for the medical users, Buddha bless ya, but if yer using yer prescription as a cover for a commercial profit making operation, I wouldn't be too confident about your chances of survival either, yer not as smart as you think.

Act like fuck'n human beings and do what human beings do, speak out, band together, or your own self interest and greed will destroy you, it ain't my fault, things are constantly changing and you really should attend to your experience. If not, the poor folks might get some and you wouldn't be happy;)

Another late night, I gotta drive me Buddy to the hospital early in the morning and I'll be happy to do it, cause it's a pleasure, feels nice when ya act human.

Ok enough, preach'n and politics, just wanted to let some folks know, that things might be different than they think, if they get screwed and politically connected corporate interests take over and try and play the same old game of screwing folks. I don't think I'm alone in the revenge of the little guy, wanna help? These folks won't band together because most are driven by fear and greed, they are not your friends and never can be, they can't even be a friend to themselves. I'm moving on, I always do.

Safety First
If you are helping someone build or design a grow light, don't forget safety, you're looking to help not kill. Always make sure the person you are dealing with knows about this, even if yer being a pain in the arse. If it's a personal one on one encounter, do it for them, if ya figure you can help. I won't mention anything other than the importance of the following:

Fire Safety
If you are using unenclosed drivers, enclose them in something fire rated at least. DON'T BURN DOWN YER HOUSE. We would like to avoid difficulties with our own house insurance, so help others safely, don't let your own narrow self interests, screw you like the ones mentioned above.

Electrical Safety
It is not wise to speak of things you know nothing about, if you are guiding others, direct them to the many knowledgeable "good guys" who will be popping up and just like they say in the bible (not preach'n) "You will know them by their actions". We will be drawing in many intelligent and educated people who are experts in their professions, in the future you might learn even more fun stuff around here. If they know their stuff, be a friend and step aside.

Make sure that you use proper grounding and if you help anybody, make sure they do too.
Understand the line and neutral wiring conventions and make sure those you help do too.
Encourage proper build techniques and safety procedures for others less knowledgeable about these matters than you. Emphasize the inportance of grommets and strain reliefs for wires going through sharp metal boxes or near any other sharp surface. Fans cause vibration and over time a wire not properly installed can rub on these sharp edges and cause ground faults. What do you think industrial electricians do most of the time?

There are many very good short youtube videos on these and various subjects, be wise and take advantage of this free knowledge. These days, ignorance is no excuse to kill yourself or others, that wouldn't be very friendly to yourself and others.

If you fry and die in your grow, it might be some time before anybody finds your decaying body, cause the carbon filter will pretty much take care of the smell, it's up to you.

If you don't think caring for others is important, just follow the doings of Donald Trump for some insights. We are going to look increasing like other Canadians who care about their friends and neighbors and less like the greedy bastards who will go extinct because of they're own greed and self interest and I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure that happens and I am only one among many. Want some?

Hey DIY. Just scrolling thru this last (pg. 11) page in the thread. In the last 60+hours, the only poster other than yourself, was ttystik. He was talking grow lights, which, I believe was another of your endeavors elsewhere. I'm trying to be as sensitive as I can here, but could your holier-than-thou, kinda disjointed ramblings be accelerating the demise of the thread you referred to earlier? Again, I'm trying to be constructive, but the typer doesn't always come across as hoped for.

Ya never know, the thread is not the important thing, it will wither away and die or I will over time I might become less involved as it possibly grows, I'll move on. The important thing is helping others and it makes me happy;)

Folks are thinking and that's good, I'll just keep posting, others will benefit so it won't be a lost cause, I hope:lol:

Ideas can be dangerous things to those driven by fear, hatred and greed, but not to the compassionate and that's who I'm after. The good folks who care about others too, I think I can wait, they will be by, they always do, cause good folks ain't hard to find Buddy.

What next? Save the Children I Should Think, as humans we must get our priorities in order. Kids come first with good people.
I think I'll give the thread a rest and might only check in to see if any good people need help or want to talk. I've stoped working on the water cooled lamp and think I'll either kill or give away the plants. A curious and unexpected thing happen over the last few days I've made considerable progress on my journey as a teacher and as a human being. I know that the desire to use cannabis has largely disappeared, but it is a great aid to training the mind for a person at my age and in apparently large doses do no harm at all it would appear, though it makes ya lazy, fur sure. Though that's just me, you might be different, and the younger you are the worst it is for the development of your potential. Not so much by "brain damage" I believe, but by affecting the large scale trajectory of neural development, this is conjecture on my part, but there is mounting evidence to support this claim. Look at the health alert posted on the first page, the one without any likes, to give a clue of the kinds of people who visit here too.

I guess it's time for some honesty, I'm a meditation teacher and have skills in working with the brain/mind in a modern scientific context with much drawn from Buddhism, the traditional way to end suffering and attain happiness. Recent scientific discoveries using brain scanners of several kinds, have revealed the underlying phenomena and has shown the best ways to attain quick results in happiness. It's really quite simple and I will explain, if you have a brain in yer head and a heart in your chest. For I have learned from a dreadful mistake that I'm in the process of correcting now on my journey to self improvement and happiness through the relief of suffering of others. These will be the most important words you will probably ever read, except news from a good friend. Our level of internal happiness depends on being part of a small community of humans who care about each other. There is no getting away from it, sure ya can act like an animal and feel pleasure, my cat likes his ears rubbed (cat kisses to them), but to be happy you must care deeply for each other, no way around it, assholes need not apply. I use this social/emotional dynamic in my work to help clients sculpt their brains through mental exercise and I work for free and would not consider taking money for that which was freely given to me. Such an act would be immoral and unethical, a selfish act driven by the instinctive emotional states like greed and not appropriate human behavior in communities of caring people.

Many of you have noticed how I have tried to foster a sense of community among my fellow growers, but none here now seem to be of much help, such people are unworthy of my attention. Humans behave differently when they are happy and at peace, than most of you folks and I'll tell ya why, most of you are driven by fear and greed, you're not good people and I can tell you exactly why, because I understand you better than you understand yourself. How am I a mind reader? Simple I love you unconditionally which is why I know you like your mommy and I hope she loved ya, but maybe not enough, which is why you are so fear and greed driven people. How is it possible you have not come together as other humans do into an effective community of mutual support and protection, with love and caring. The safety information above should have been a clue, seen much around the threads, except from good people who care about others? Getting an idea of how easily defeated fear and greed driven cowards are. The greedy behave logically, so I'll just work to gather a group of humans to deal with you like any other animal that threatens a community of humans. We will start slow, but will increase quickly. I will enlist good people in my cause who think for themselves and will be generally older in the near future, people with stable lifestyles and experienced parents. An ex police officer or some such person will PM me one day and I will convince a good person by logical argument and enlist them in our cause.

We will be focused around changing the culture around cannabis and remove the forces of greed, by putting the price through the floor. In order to get my help on a local level, you must be an older and socially responsible, who is joining a worthy cause for a modest profit. This will be done by older adults for the most part and will be save the children focused, but evidence dependent to a degree. But even if it is harmless in the long term, it is still psychologically harmful because of habituation processes. Those who are socially/emotionally retarded will suffer the most from these dependencies, but there's hope for sure, but it takes a bit of effort to better oneself, pot might even help if you're older, as long as you do mental exercise regularly. This counters social forces that got ya so fucked up in the first place and automatically increases your level of happiness spontaneously. If things work the way I figure there will be plenty of profit in pot for a bit, until we get a grip on yer arse, with a national movement for a good social cause. The government and corporations would have a difficult time, for in our system of justice, as in practice, intentions are important. Once law enforcement figures out what we're up too they might turn a blind eye, but this group of humans will be onto their provincial and federal politicians like flies on shit! In away the greed driven logical thinkers won't anticipate this because they are socially retarded. Probably never got this far in the rant!

You are going to war with a warrior monk, who loves you and wants to help you, but you are too blinded with greed to see, what has been laid before your very eyes. One of the mental phenomena I deal with on a regular basis is self delusion, a perfectly healthy thing too, when used correctly to relieve the stress of mortality. We all know we are going to die! It's just a matter of time, this plays havoc with the mind of a neurotic on a subconscious level and our ego narrows our perception of the world, filters and colors it too. This self delusion, a natural process that works to keep us going through life and deal with mortality issues. Like so many other mental qualities, stress has an effect on it's level and intensity. Humans create and foster communities and the lack is a sign that the people of the community are operating under delusion, driven by fear and greed. There is no other scientific explanation. Not a very moral argument I'm charging you with (as in debate), but based on evidence and truth. Humans cannot argue against protecting the children of a community, where would you start such an argument. Seriously say "fuck the kids" in any bar and somebody asks ya what ya mean and explain, what do you think would happen? Even a bunch of socially and emotionally retarded drunks are better than many of you and ya wonder why I love ya like kids (seriously).

I'll keep an eye an on the thread for good people popping up or someone suffering who needs help and PMs me. I don't really expect to hear much from the fear driven and greedy. I never do, cause bullshit always walks away from the truth and I expect this to be no different from the rest of the times in my teaching career, that I've seen it. My practice has been long, my skills depend completely on compassion and putting others needs first as does my own happiness. I had a night, not of the dark night of the soul, but one of enlightenment and my true purpose is in alignment with my beliefs. I realized I must have a locally based teaching practice and form a real community of humans who have better and improving emotional and social skills and will move on, I dare not stay, for egotism and selfish desire would soon consume me. I have no friends to help yet, but I'm not worried at all, cause I will find many on my path and if I keep to it, I will die with many good true friends and with smile on my face and not the slightest fear of my own selfless passing. Can you say the same?

I'm off to help far better people than you, recovering alcoholics, generally great decent folks who cared enough for themselves and others to try and become less fear and greed driven. AA is a very good and noble community of suffers, that cling to each other as a group, to try and make it one day at a time. They might be interested in someone with the skills and knowledge I posses. A community of humans, struggling with guilt, misery and fear, not to mention habituation from a lifetime of use. These are good people and I think I will join them in their suffering and struggle and help them to form a better internal emotional life and more effective community. This human will join their tribe and aid them in their struggle against suffering with all his heart and soul. There is no other way forward for me and the bridge has burned behind me and I am alone on the road with it's many dangers, but I will soon have many caring good people as friends at my next stop. I move on, I always do...

I move on, I always do...
I'm sorry you didn't stick around.

It seems most of our goals are in alignment. I'm doing this for those who come after us, who need clean good and medicine in an increasingly polluted and crowded world- and maybe someday, off the planet.

I'm not expecting a big reward personally. If I make enough of a living to keep doing what I do, I'll be happy.

Safe travels.

Told ya you were a good man Yoda, the kind that legalization and sensible social policy create, others will see your example in the future and follow the true purpose of the law, to protect our communities. And an uneducated heathen with a 40 plus year criminal record, gotta tell'm that! You have done a good thing here my friend, happy travels on your new home based legal enterprise. Say hi to all the folks in Colorado fur me buddy.;)
