Easiest would be to temporarily disconnect one of the dimmer leads-that maxes the output of the driver.
With the dimmer out of the circuit the light pulls 119W. It's the same pot that is listed in the build. Do I need a new one? A different one?

Sounds like your dimmer pot is just a bit below the minimum resistance to get max driver output. You can add a 10kohm resistor in series with the pot-that should resolve your issue.

Some history:

Arrived 6/17 in a 1g pot. Fed only Megacrop since then.

+~3 weeks (08/01) Two weeks after flip to 12/12.

+1 week (08/Eight) Top two spears from last shot laid over. Another needed help after I was fumble fingered.

Just noticed the bottom leaf shows Powdery Mildew!!! Hopefully some baking soda and water will bust it before it gets to resin laden spots.

From http://www.apsnet.org/publications/apsnetfeatures/Pages/UCDavisRisk.aspx

I found this:

[...snip]
In order for the powdery mildew epidemic to begin, the pathogen requires three consecutive days when there is a minimum of 6 hours of temperatures between 21 and 30°C. If three consecutive days at these temperatures are not met, the index reverts to zero. For each day that this requirement is met, 20 index points are assigned. After 3 days, an index of 60 would be achieved thus triggering the index. Once the 3 consecutive day requirement is met, it no longer is a function of the model. The model will fluctuate between 0 and 100. Losing 10 points on days when the 6 hour requirement for 21-30°C was not met or if at any time during the day, the temperature rose to 35°C for at least 15 min. An index of 60-100 indicates the pathogen is reproducing every 5 days while an index of 0-30 indicates a reproductive rate of 15 days or less. An index of 40-50 is considered normal and would imply a reproductive rate of 8-11 days, i.e., somewhere between a 5 and 15 day reproductive rate.
[snip...]

Any thoughts on cooking the pm? Would 15-20 minutes at 35C harm the plant?

Couldn’t figure out a better place to put this so…

What is this and where can I get one?

The bottom of the device has what looks like the same tall snow globe like water chamber. To fill it the user spun the globes causing bubbling to happen. At least that’s what it looked like was happening. Lighting with no inhale?

Inhaling the result?

And now I find the show off your glass thread... can this post be moved?
