sry SB also my last harvest i couldnt take a clone to save my life - they keep diein so i just budded my plants cause i wanted to have a smoke - i was totally impatient then but iwanna do this right. really wot im saying is i gotta start from seeds. i visit the dam twice a year( wot a place man)so i pick up seeds and bring them home,(they arent illegal in uk, only when u plant them its illegl - weird huh) i have unfem w widow and master kush. i had a 2 hr chat with the guy in the sensi seed bank when i was so fucked. he saw the state i was in and decided to roll a fat 1 and we chatted and smoked outside while watchin the hookers in the window( u had to be there, it was a mad 30 mins) once the seeds pop do i just put them in the cubed and into the net pots - (light on or off) it is light off till she shoots aint it, then lights. i used drippers in my 1st system and the cubes were put in dark place till sprouted leaves. let me know SB please wot ur thoughts r.

I just wanted to post to inform you all i'm designing/building a device that can be attached to power strips and turn them on/off at the desired interval of 1 - 5.

Right now the electronics cost for the parts rounds out at around 21$, and either 4$ for a big high-voltage relay (enclosed unit, 2 plugs.... get to play with high voltage... eh)

So rather than play with high voltage I figured I would build something to physically switch a power strip. Then you can sell the unit and people can just use it with power strips they have laying around. That would also give you a lot of sockets.

So that's 6 outlets or however much can safely be loaded onto a power strip for about 30$ tops.

several post back I made one and pictured it. timer with contactor.
but mine cost me a lot more to build.
what kind of timer are you going to use?

I am pretty savy when it comes to wiring things like relays and contactors and such because I used to install all of the equipment in police cars, fire trucks, ambulances and such for a 2way radio company. I haven't even looked at it yet but since you are around I was wondering what you think about an idea I have. I want to use a garage door opener that I am not using for a light mover for my 1000 hps and was wondering what you think (or anyone else) about how to make it go back and forth continuously. Any ideas? It may be as simple as making it "think" it hit something on its way down and short the leads that tell it to close once it is in the "up" position if that makes sense.

I would put a switch on each end to switch direction. Just make it so that when it is near or just at the top, it hits the switch to change directions. Used a set up like that in a feeder operation.

Probably bad Karma from steeling fence posts and such.

Does anyone else have electric reservoir water? I was checking out my flowering unit tonight, messing with one of the 2" net pots checking out roots when the pump came on and got the shit shocked out of me!

I'm guessing the pump has shorted out a little and is why current is in the water...? That makes me really nervous! I hooked up my voltmeter and read 60volts, which felt about right haha. The veg and clone chambers aren't electric.

Any opinions on safety? Potential fire hazard? I have no idea how long it has been this way--just got back in town.

Can you find any organic nutes? I believe both of those are synthetic.

If that's all you can get I would buy the Canna because it's from the UK (local).

Always buy local if possible!

Don't do it bro. Stealing is wrong! StinkBuddies never lie, cheat or steal. Honesty is one of the core principles of the StinkBud philosophy.

Growing medicine for people in need is only part of the whole equation.

What ever you take costs you twice as much. What ever you give brings back twice as much. I may sound stupid bro but try it out and you will see what I mean...

And besides the fence posts works way better. I'm sure you can find them online if you had too. Keep looking and good luck mate!

It's ok to start from seeds. Once you find a few strains you like you can just take cuttings from them.

My Skunk came from seeds I ordered. Out of five seeds I only kept one phenotype going.

You may have to sort through 20 plants to find the killer phenotype of that one strain.

Can you find a cutting of the legendary Cheese? (developed in the UK)

Take the pump back right away. It is very dangerous!!! You could get killed.

Thanks StinkBud! I'm glad you replied :)

I think this was just random pump failure. I have an andyman timer, but the other 4 pumps are running fine.

I'm a little gun shy now!

I have a little confusion about attaching the pump to the sprayer unit. I have always used tubing in the past. Do you just silicone the pump to the pvc on your original design?

I may just use the tubes so I can move the pump around ( to avoid root overgrowth)

here is a pic of the one I made with a contactor built in so you could run larger higher amp pumps.
not sure if those plans you have there are for pumps like this uses or little fishtank air pumps that draw less power:bigjoint:

My plan is for this to control a single ECO 396 pump or a single ECO 396 pump and ultrasonic mister. I have not tested to see how many amps they pull in combination, I would imagine less than 10A. The repeat-cycle timer I posted is only 10A but can be modified with a relay or contactor like yours to handle more power.

McMaster-Carr, where did you get yours? It is a bit cheaper than what I paid. I looked at automation-direct also, but passed on it because you cannot control off time separate from on time.
Where did you get your contactor? I think you said something about a specific store (hot tub/ jacuzzi)?

P.S. Sorry SB for the thread jack.

I might have mentioned this before but - GFCI - GFCI - GFCI. Water and electricity don't mix. Bathrooms, kitchens, and grow rooms should all have GFCI.
