Getting close to lift off @Viva_Mexico

Nice bundle of equipment there :wink:

What do you do for lengthening the wires to go to the adjusta wings from the ballasts.

Here they come with a 3 prong kettle type plug connection, i find they get very warm and can also come loose causing shorts, I have taped them together with insulation tape and plastic tie wraps before today.

I was asking because when I run more than 4 meters of cable I usually require an extra capacitor behind the bulb to help fire them up on ignition from the timer contactor ??

Nice set up cant wait to see it in full swing. your gonna need an overgrow holiday visit from us all to help trim that lot pmsl :laughing:

I know!!! If I can get some hydroton today, I will transplant the moms and put them in the new room. I want to flip in the next 3 or 4 days.

Thanks!! It feels like Christmas.

Today I will take pictures of the ballasts. They are the newest style available, they have a telephone type wire that plugs into each ballast. I ordered them with 15ft cable from the ballast to plug and 15ft from ballast to wing. All ballasts will be wired directly to the electricity and controlled with a programmable lighting controller for up to 50 ballasts.

hahahahah I can’t wait!!!

Here are a few pictures of the room.

I will have two pathways in the room.
It will be 10 lights, path, 10 lights path, 10lights. I hung 15 ballast above each path. I estimate yesterday that I went up and down the ladder at least 150times. Where is @Uncle_Al when I need a hand wiring. These are random pictures from random time of the day. I still have a lot to do. A lot of cables need to sill be arranged. I don’t care for the look of the ballasts because of the unevenness but after this cycle I have to everything down, we are do drywall the ceiling. So, be warned!!

If i find a good cut of Scott’s OG i am making a trip to Mexico. You are probably right, the sugary, lemony, cut that i like is one in a million but it was an eye opener for me and my friends. Another golden ticket strain probably. :grin:

Your setup continues to amaze me
Thanks for the pics even tho you were tired. I love to see your setup and appreciate the time you put in, but then to take pictures and share them with us

quick question: How does your homemade controller work?

2 Likes

I should say modified not home made. I ordered float valves in combination with a old ebb and flow controller that I had. Here the important modification is the 3/4inch holes to allow greater volume of flow to the buckets. This in combination with a larger rez will allow me have more buckets per controller.

What is your ratio for rez size to how many buckets (gallons)? And also if its not too much trouble; can you take close ups of your ebb and flow equipment and the inner workings (like you did with the aero-cloner and drip system)
Of course when you have time and are rested, I would love to learn from it :grin:
