Good Morning OFC...Canna **** and smoked meat...great eye opener today!...All those buds look spectacular...QB...take 2 gold Stars for that run! Nov...you sent the perfect rain...1/2 inch last night was just right on the garden...Keef it had died down after the daytime heating wore off so it was not as juicy when it passed here at 9pm. Barbers use UV lighting to sterilize their equipment...might find some bulbs there that will kill most organisms.I am thinking on some ribs for the holiday...bought a nice string of baby backs yesterday...trying to decide if I want dry roast or sauce now.Has this week/year gone by way too fast?...it is no longer an issue of what day it is ...but more like what month it is...guess time flies when your having fun...so they say. Off for a walk and to see what I can get into today...Have a stress free and safe day ya'll!

G'Morning OFC. We lost track of the days that it has been since we drove a vehicle. A couple of weeks is our guess. Thanks to the "What are you listening to?" thread, I've dusted off the guitars and started practicing again. My sight reading is gone. I played by ear for a long time. It will take a while to relearn reading music again. Fingers work though. It keeps me constructively occupied while hunkered in.I

Otherwise, I have to negotiate kitchen equipment to decarb without stinking up the house. Once the kids are out of the house this weekend, I will try making coconut butter and gummies.

Take care, stay safe and healthy.

[Daxtell]

Easter is a good birthday date. It changes year to year.

I myself was born on 4/20. Or not! Gotta watch that personal information. And nice photoshopping skilz btw.

I am always shocked to see how many bots and lurkers are around compared to people participating in site stats.

What is it we do SN?

Good morning OFC. Nov, it's not that hard. Power= voltage x current. The wiring in your house is a certain size. It is based on the amount of current you can draw in that circuit. If you needed 1000w of power and you had 110v, it would take about 9 amps of current. But if you took the same 1000w and had 220v it would only take 4.5 amps. If the circuit is rated for 20 amps @ 110 volts it would mean about 2,200 watts, but the same circuit running 20 amps @ 220 volts would be 4,400 watts. So by running a higher voltage, you can use more power without tripping the breaker all the time. Jimmy what you guys do, is run a higher voltage than 110v and use less current. Here you need to run 220v to a dedicated outlet or you need to run a step up transformer to increase the voltage to 220v.
Crockett, I've been telling people how those lights rock, but until you grow with them and see what they can do, you simply wouldn't believe it.

Keef, happy birthday my friend. If no one has told ya … you old. Dax, I sight read tablature but not music. When I auditioned at the Peabody conservatory The Villa Lobos etudes and preludes are prerequisites. I was playing 1 of the etudes and it was all written in tab. Didn't get in because of that. The Guiliani piece opus 121 all in tab, lol.

Good morning OFC!
Happy birthday Keef!! Have some cake!
Thanks Umbra, it was about 1am, I was tired. I was stuck at wiring... I'm guess it's 16 or 14g. I'm really worried about setting fire to us. I think the best option be too just move...
Keef, happy birthday!!

Nov, in the spare bedroom I was running 2 1kw HPS plus fans and a few other things. Kept popping breaker. Ran extension chord to another circuit to make it all work. Replaced the 2 HPS with the LED and solved the breaker popping and heat issue. The garage has both 220 and 110. Lights are 220 but fans and other stuff is 110. Running 220v @ 100A in garage.

 

[novitius]

I did pick up a decent extension cord yesterday or the day before... Days are blending together. I guess I'll just run a long cord. I don't have the option of rewiring and we really don't have a breaker box, it's an old fuse panel. If we had breakers I could make this happen pretty easily and safely as long as the panel was up to par.
Thank you for your help Umbra. I'll run the cord for now. This time next year the goal is a new (to us) property.

Good Friday Bud **** ?-- White Indica

 

[Keef]

Umbra's -- Sundae Driver times Bunch of Grapes -- I messed this one up this run but there's more !

 

[2RedEyes]

good morning...happy birthday keef...

 

[novitius]

Alright one more ? About the step up just to finish them off and get the pestering from my mind. I can't seem to word it properly for a Google response...
Say this: I have a 110 circuit@ 15A. I'm putting 1100w into that circuit as a steady load. AC kicks on, surges@ 1500w and intermittently blows fuses. I would need to buy a step up rated at twice the wattage of what I need? So, I use 2600 at peak, I'd need one rated @ 5200w? Once that's on the line, it's only cutting ( we'll say lights and ac) in half , bringing their load to 800-1000w. That still leaves me all the room up to 1500w again?

Happy birthday to @Keef

Hello OFC
When I had my carpet cleaning business my portable extractor had a separate circuit indicator light that would come one when my heater and extractor were on different circuits to prevent tripping a circuit breaker. I wonder if they have such a thing for grow lights?

I hope you have a GREAT day Keef!!
