I'm a noob who is about to grow his first crop, so what I'm about to say is not backed up by experience. Most ppl flush in the last week or two, ostensibly to rid the plant of the tasted of chemical fertilizer. But as someone else pointed out in another thread, I've never eaten a tomato that...

I'm not promising anything, but if you post the model # I'll see if I can find a wiring schematic online.

True that...with a well illustrated manual you'll be able to tackle most residential wiring projects.

Well, the last two weeks is a period of rapid growth as the plant prepares for the end of the growing season, especially if you don't flush and deprive your plants of nutes when she needs em most. you'll definitely do better than 30g, let us know hoe it works out...Good Luck.

And don't forget to smoke it.

There you can rest east, you're not losing any power.

What do you want to run as 220? The MLC-4 is already 220v. For the A/C, fan and pumps, etc., install a 20 amp single-pole (120 volt) breaker in the subpanel, and run 12/2 romex cable from that to a 20a/125v receptacle. Then plug the A/C and whatnot into that. Here is a rundown of the whole...

If the shock is momentary, its static, if it persists, i.e., continues to shock you as long as you touch it, its AC. If AC then you've lost the ground, which probably means a loose ground connection between the receptacle and the main panel. Thoroughly check all of the ground connections back to...

I don't know if you're talking to me, but I don't have any new PMs.

I'm sorry, but I'm new to growing, and I'm not that familiar with HID lighting. Perhaps Brick can take this one. Or, even better, go post this in the Indoor Growing forum, there are a lot of lighting experts there.

What you are referring to is the power system most widely used in US residential electric service, and is technically called "3 wire single-phase distribution" and commonly referred to as "single phase". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split_phase In common parlance, to avoid confusion with the...

man anxiety attacks are baaaaaad shit man. once when i was 13 i got one so bad i thought i was gonna die. i tried to get my older brother to call an ambulance, lol, he kept saying "you're not dieing, you're just baked" thank god for cooler heads prevailing, buy ya aniety is nooooo fun. big shot...

The breaker feeding your equipment isn't large enough. The light alone will use 9 amps, and the a/c will likely use more than that. upgrade that breaker to a 30amp and the wire connected to it to #10. IF YOU UPGRADE THE BREAKER, YOU MUST UPGRADE THE WIRE OR YOU WILL START A FIRE. Your other...

According to this https://www.westcoasthydro.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=549&category_id=145&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=2&vmcchk=1&Itemid=2 you run #10/3 romex (thats 3 conductors plus ground) from a 30 amp 2-pole breaker in your...

I sure hope the guy on the horse isn't the person in the bikini...

If the adapter puts out 120 volts you can't use it with a pc fan. It has to put out the same voltage as the fan, which I believe you said was 12v. The wattage listed on the adapter is a maximum; you can't connect a device which uses more than 17 watts, but you can come in under that.

Ya, well under $200 if you don't get the Intermatic timer. Go to a supply house to get the 10/3 romex, cause Home Depot will make you buy 50' of it. I want to say something about my setup. For security reasons, I want all my grow equipment in the same room, so my ballasts will plug in there. I...

Put it in place of the Intermatic, but don't run any outlets out of it, since the MLC-4 contains those. All of your duplex outlets will run off the suppanel, then plug a timer into one of those and the MLC-4 into that timer. Thats actually a neat little gadget...never seen one before, but I...

And I don't think the question is all that stupid...I bet most noobs ask it, hell its what I still ask myself, but only in the dark hours, and then I just whisper it ;) Its just an unanswerable question

the consensus seems to be .5 grams per watt of light used is a good target. Do most of the things you're supposed to and don't make any major mistakes, and you might hit it. Most first time growers don't yeild that much. Experienced growers can do up to 1 gram per watt. The thing to do is stay...
